Porting MAF housing, with future mods in mind.

[CamaroRob97]

Ok, ya i know to remove the whole post and the backing plate. And to help with the running rough issue to use the 99+ MAF ( Will the car run to lean if I dont but in the 99 maf right away).

In the next year or 2 when I start getting into my high performace classes, I am going to P&P my Heads, Intakes, and TB. Then eventually Iam going to rebuild the engine and use stock L67 moter parts, to build my engine up for the Turbo.

My question is with this stuff in mind, is it worth doing the MAF housing? Or will this just hurt me down the road?

Thanks

Every little bit here and there helps. Forget using the stock L67 stuff, go for teh new L32 parts. Much nicer and the same price.

We get some new internals that iam not aware of?

[CamaroRob97]

Any other ideas on my situation?

[Bird_Of_Prey]

Yes we did. They are the internals out of the new Series 3 3.8's. Check them out, they are super sweet.

[CamaroRob97]

Ah, yes Series 3. I think I remember someone saying you have to moddify the pushrods a little bit for them to work on our engine.

Well since didn't get a no don't do it, I guess ill go ahead and port the maft housing out.

FYI, you need to modify the connecting rods, not the pushrods.

[slow]

why port the maf?

Im not too familiar with these cars, but why do you want to trick the load tables in the computer, especially on a motor you can't get a programmer that you can change the individual values of ?

Seems like a waste to me?

Well it gives a little more horspeower, but if you put a 99+ maf in its supposed to pretty much clear that up.

Well I got it all apart today. I can't get those dang backing plate screws out and now the heads are all striped. I guess Ill have to use some alternitive for getting that out, cause its to tough to cut through.
