Just wondering what the benifit would be to running a LT1 maf vs the stock maf? I tried to msg fast but his limit is exceded.

Any info would be great

Thx

 

your maf sensor won't max out as soon so you can continue to tune for a larger intake and also you won't have to rely on your VE tables as much.

 

So I can run a custom 3" intake or even maybe a 3.5? It will allow the S/C to suck air better, maybe resulting in less heat soak as it wouldn't have to work as hard?

 

I dont think that would help much or at least it would be a waste of time and money.
Your supercharger can only such so much after that its pointless. besides the lt1 maf would more then likely be more retrictive the the stock sensor.

 

The lt1 maf is much less sensitive that the stock maf sensor. yes you could create your own intake. I don't know how much it would help with heatsoak but in theory it should help.

 

Wow. You sound just like the techs at our dealership-clueless. No offense. The LT1 maff is actually bigger, so it will flow just fine, probably more. More importantly, the stock maff is just too sensitive. The LT1 maff is alot easier to tune with. Rob and I are using this with a custom 3.5" intake.

 

thanks for the backup. i knew one of you guys with it installed would comment. Have you driven the car with it on? I bought one from a junkyard, should be here soon. I'd like to get it on next week. Did you guys use an LT1 MAFF table in replace of the stock MAF frequency table?

 

From a fellow tech, that statement makes me want to BARF

Lets see,

Stock maff OVERLY sensitive to ANY changes, only 3"id, pegged at 10K Hz

LT1 maff, Very durable and predictable, 3.5" id, i now get 9300 Hz which leaves me room to grow.

The easier it is to get air to the SC the less it has to work to suck the air in. PERIOD!


Pat,
The stock table will get you running and you only need to fine tune from there. I had to adjust slightly to get me LTFT's + or - 10 You'll like it!

 

Thanks Rob, this is what I was hoping to hear. I have been searching for a stock LT1 table and have had a HECK of a time finding one. Thanks for the info!!!!

 

Are you guys using the stock LT1 MAF sensor or a ported one? Just thinking I might need to hit up a junk yard.

 

Just a stock LT1 maff.

 

sweet... got one... I know what myt next mod is...

 

What are you guys making your custome 3 1/2" intakes out of?

 

The intake tubing INTENSE has. Smooth and free flowing on the inside, plus it's flexible for ease of install.

 

Rob made a post about it a while back.

 

Why not use the LS1 maf? Or an LS2 maf, or are they all the same thing?

 

The LT1 maff already has an IAT sensor in it.

 

My question is along the same lines. Why not the other ones? And if only a LT1 will work, what year F-Body did it come out of, does it make a difference?

 

Good to know!!!

 

The answer is above, and it doesn't matter what year LT1.

 

the 93's dont have a MAF but what all involved in installing the LT1 MAf? does out stock plug plug in? or do we need a MAFT?

 

The LS1 NOT the LT1 has the IAT. Thats why we have to add one Kevin.

As for not using an ls1 maff, logistics! They are 2 different sizes and require extra adapters which add to the overall cost.

 

Ouch. Brain Fart. Sorry.

 

so when you guys say that the maf is super sensitive in the lsj.. and something about 10000hz.. what does this mean, like you say the lt1 is less sensitive at 9300 hz, what does this accomplish, how does it help when tuning the lsj? how do you tune it? etc? maybe a faq for this would be good?

 

Is the LT1 MAF plug and play or is the splicing involved?
