SLP MAF causing U any issues?

This thing has worked fine for a few years and then it went south causing (i) a big loss of power, (ii) a stumbling accelleration condition, and (iii) a too lean Bank 1 code.

Has anyone else had a similar experience?

The SLP MAF sux when you try and tune the car. It apparently tricks the computer, thus tricking you when you tune it.

I Would Try Cleaning The Maf, But What He Said About It Tricking The Comp Is True...

above is true... the SLP 85mm MAF uses a resistor to change the readings in an attempt to match up w/the stock MAF tables (which is why if you put an actual LS6 MAF on an LS1 you have to tune the PCM)

One thing it may be... the SLP MAF likely leans you out to improve performance (based on a stock tune)... you were having some issues before w/the ethanol blended gasoline... which will also lean the mixture out slightly (but within range for the PCM to correct)

It's possible that the combination of the two (and possibly other factors like whatever's causing the bank 1 lean error) can cause the car to idle for crap

Mine would fail when it felt like it. My car doesn't like a MAF anymore or the new F'ing Gas. I'm just going to buy a couple drums of 100 unleaded from N.E racing fuels. I'm getting to the point i don't care what it cost.
