[Shotimes] MAF connector question

[Carl Prochilo]

Yes, sure.  I'm not trying to sell the 80mm MAF.  I was just trying to
point out that it was and still is a common mod.  It is part of the
SHOShop BOS.  I've seen dyno data that says a 75mm Pro-M MAF without an
LPM will produce more HP than an 80mm with an LPM.
