Hey guys, I was a bit skepticle about the performance gains of adding the Granatelli MAF Sensor to my Airraid cold air intake. I had read that the stock unit could flow enough air for up to 400hp, so I thought the new one was pointless.
After chatting with Granatelli, they convinced me that I would gain more power by adding the sensor than I did with the intake. I didn't believe it. I even called Airraid and they said you don't need it and it won't gain you anything. I was now starting to think that even if I did achieve gains that it would be so small I would not notice it.
I can tell you that it REALLY woke up my performance! The throttle response and power is definitely improved from where it was!
These sensors are pricey at about $300 on ebay, but it was worth it. If I had to do it over again, it would have been wiser to get the Volant kit that includes their MAF sensor.
Hope this helps someone get more power and a make there engine more responsive.

I was thinking about the same upgrade. But was not sure if it was worth the money. Thanks for the input anyone else have any good or bad to say about MAF.

Nope, maybe you felt more TR after getting an alignment done. Don't waste your money on the MAF upgrade. I've had the granatelli coming up on 3 years and can say without a doubt that it adds nothing.
Sorry, tomp, I think you were just imagining any improvements.

It was the alignment, admit it.

It's not just the hp I noticed but the throttle response is much better in lower throttle positions.
Paragon is sooo dumb that he bought a $300-400 part that didn't do anything and left in on there over a year! Should have returned it or sold it on ebay if it didn't do anything. What a dumbfuk!

If the lobes of your brain didn't share space with your ass cheeks you would be able to answer the riddle of why I haven't pulled it off and tried to shaft someone else by selling it.

Instead of talking trash, why don't you tell me the part number of the one you bought? There is a special part number for the H2. Also, you have two different ones available. One for stock intake and one for Cold Air.
If you have the right part number, they DO work - I promise!

Try the aftermarket MAF Sensor with your cold air intake!
