how much boost with LT1 MAF in the uppipe

[REDS HOT AIR]

if i go with trans. + and LT1 MAF and have it in the uppipe should it handle high boost cases or will it damage it.

im not scared of boost around 30#

turbo im going with LT 70-1 is 4" inlet so when i build a new pipe i dont want a MAF in it

BTW: im not looking to go with a fast system....i want to go fast with factory ecm..

What about a Max effort with no MAF?

I've got almost 10K miles now on my relocated MAF, still works fine, and no hint of contaimination.
I've been running between 25 and 28 PSI.
Been running a 60 and 55s

The only horror story to date (that I know of), was someone tried to relocate a stock plastic MAF into the up pipe, and that didn't work.

i remember that happening .. that was entertaining atleast.

so far dont look like a long topic so maybe thats a good thing

either that or your the only one running one that way.

since i have an LT1 3" sensor im thinking of putting it right at the exit of the i/c since the i/c comes out 3" then i have it stepped down to 2 1/2 pipe (powerstroke i/c ) so that way it gets a strait 3" shot to the sensor instead of stepping up and then back down.

later...RED
