Aftermarket MAF sensors
- Thread starter buffblazer

Most of our trucks do not use a MAF sensor at all. The TBI system uses a MAP sensor that measures vacume/pressure rather than airflow.

The larger aftermarket MAF sensors can make a sizeable difference if coupled with a high flow intake tube as they allow more airflow . With a stock intake tube you will likely see no real difference. You working with a LS series engine i take it.

Now don't go getting overboard with filter oil when you clean the filter. Few things a MAF hate more than too much oil on the filter, it will ruin that 400$ sensor in a quick hurry. Let us know how it turns out. I've put 2 on LT1 engines and my was pleased with the results.

im running a dry filter so i shouldnt have to worry about over oiling. what brand did you run?
The LT1/LS1 crowd seems to generally hate them and feel like they cause LOTS of problems with little/no gain.
You won't gain a whole lot from a larger MAF until you have come close to pegging it out at wide open throttle. This is usually only going to happen if there are upgrades downstream, thottle body/intake/heads/cam, it all goes together. Make sure it still matches your injectors.
