Default maf

have done exhaust, air intake, and hood seal, was wondering about this maf extender that is supposed to gain power by keeping fuel cooler? Just wondering if anyone has tried it and if there was much difference in performance. Thanks, Tom

Extending the maf to cool fuel? Doesn't even sound realistic. I wouldn't.

All that goes through the MAF is AIR, or at least thats the design therory.

Fuel doesnt even enter the intake manifold except at the very end of the runner for each head opening.

All these add on gimic devices have little or no benifit on LS engines except make the car faster by reducing weight from your wallet.

Stick with true power adders: Like a real cold ari intakes ie (vararam), headers, better heads, aftermarket Cam, better intake manifold (2001+, LS6 or FAST) PCM Tuning etc.

Crap like the CHIP (C5/C6 engines dont use Chip PCMs), TURBINATOR, Fuel Magnets, fuel additaves, Throttle body spacers, fancy $15 each spark plugs, $300 spark plug wires (I could go on and on) are a waste of money.

Good one Bill! it's a shame a lot of people get sucked into the cheap horsepower gimmicks.
