Default Switching MAF's question?

Last night i made and "oops" and managed to get a lean nitrous backfire through my intake. Everything came out alright besides the MAF amazingly. My question is, my car was tuned on a stock MAF and I have a SLP MAF thats laying around. Can i switch my stock out for the SLP and be fine or is there something I need to tune around or just fork up the money and buy another stock MAF?

It may run a little differently AFR wise, but it should be close with the SLP MAF. At least, find someone with a WBO2 and a scanner to get a good look at what the car is doing driving down the street. The results will tell you whether you need a tune or not.

This is a stupid question and i have always been unsure about it but does WOT have anything to do with the MAF?

The MAF is the main ingredient in the fueling calculation at WOT.

....and that would be why I suggested finding someone with a scanner and a WBO2 - to make sure it didn't mess your tune up.
