Its a good way to damage it from debris and potentially get trash and debris into your motor. But it does increase airflow slightly --  Posted By: SaD1ST1K On: 09-21-2008 @ 21:59:53 Reply | Top | Edit its not worth it dude trust me. yes, it does make a difference. but its really not worth making them as vulnerable as they are without them. --

My 97 still had the screen. I swaped the housing around the sensor for the fun of it. No difference at all. I wasn't expecting any either. -- 95 Z28, A-4, K&N intake, TF elbow, polished 52mm Edelbrock,free mods, gutted cat, Magnaflow catback, LT4 roller timing set, A/C AIR & EGR del.

Posted By: RoAdRaGe912 On: 09-22-2008 @ 23:14:02 Reply | Top | Edit You can descreen one if you like. Just for your information, the "screen" is there to provide a more laminar flow for better measurement by the MAF. The elements in the MAF contact a very small percentage of the cross sectional area of your air intake. Therefore it's best to have a more even flow throughout the entire cross section. It is nowhere near becoming a restriction in your intake. -- Posted By: HBHRacing On: 09-24-2008 @ 17:43:57 Reply | Top | Edit Gains are found because it leans out the mixture which a stock LT1 tune runs overly rich. It doesn't read the correct airflow and gets more air that it should VS the amount of fuel added. This = lean which "can" increase power. But it's completely sporadic and inaccurate and will cause far more harm than good. Leave it alone. You don't need more airflow anyway. -- Owner of HBHRacing.com Xtreme performance products Click for new Fbody Tech Articles  Posted By: cunningham On: 09-29-2008 @ 13:08:42 Reply | Top | Edit i probably wont do it. it sounds like its not even worth the trouble. the guy that told me about this did it on his LS1 transam an he says it makes a differance but he's a idiot. -- 95 camaro Z28 stock for now but a 383 is in the works
