[Shotimes] MAF connector question

[Ron Childs]

The advantage of the 80 mm MAF is not that the additional flow capacity can be used, but that the larger MAF is more accurate and linear over its range providing better info to the PCM. I don't understand all of it but this is what Ted B says is the advantage.

Thanks for the info Carl, I'll read up on that. I'm still an SHO noob. I
wonder though, why an 80mm MAF for a 3.2L or 3.0L 6 cyl? Guys run 9's on
80mm MAFs on a 5.0L revving to 7,000 rpm. Is it worth the hassle for
something that won't yield more performance then a 73mm or 77mm? What's the
most horse power someone is making with a SHO? I just can't imagine a need
for this application
