  • MAF screen

    ok this site says somewere that its not such a good idea to take out the MAF screen. well i did it on my 01 an it was fine i did disconect the battery be for start up though. but i was wondering if any body had any personal experiance, some one with more smarts than myself if this is something i should do agen as i had to replace that 3800 because it was on the fritz as im trying to squeez as much power as i can be for mods or whatever

        Some people say do it, some people say don't.

        I tried it both ways and honestly couldnt feel a differance, and it didnt affect anything (no check engine light or weird issues)

          On my 96' angled TB , it is better to leave it in.

              I've had idling problems and watching the scanner the maf readings were all over the place. Put the screen back on and it ran alot better. Esp. when the turbo goes on I want the screen to flow through the maf correctly , so I have accurate maf readings.

                  Just lucky I guess, have you ever scanned it to see if there is a difference?

                    On my LT1 V8 I noticed more airflow on a PP descreened MAF using freescan.

                    Backed it up with 2 tenths at the strip 13.6 stock MAF,13.4 PP descreened.

                    I made 2 runs with the stocker and 4 runs with the modded MAF and it ran stronger every pass.

                      No I've never scanned it before. I didnt really notice any difference.
