Cool! Does he make a MAF for any other engines - say for the 3800SC?

Check out the web site here. There is a listing for the 3.8 V6, and others like the Roadmaster, Fleetwood, Impala on top of the Camaro, Firebird Corvette and Trucks.

PS: Don't tell Carl, they have products for the 2010 Camaro too

wow up to 22 hp, the 4.8 in my truck can use every single extra! how much $$ was it

73SC · A Poncho Legend!

Click here for 4.8 model. It says up to 25 HP on the 4.8!

I see them online for $208. That is still only 10 bucks per pony. I got lucky we were at a local car club swap and I saw this shinny red thing lying there in an open box, it looked new but was apart in three pieces so we had to put it back together - swap meet price $20, time to put together 2 minutes, time to install 90 second = Hee Haw and a kick in the pants.

You young pups, and your HOT RODS disbelief

Must be Toronto

Is that mod, Miller approved???????

73SC · A Poncho Legend!

Even though it is red it is green, I can feel from the throttle that the car is more efficient...Im' serious, not kidding, it just breathes and flows so much easier so it must be saving gas. I am sure Miller would approve of the mod but not the 6,000 lb truck it's in biggrin

Thinking about spraying the thing cast colour, what ya think?

Excellent

I got a reply back from Granatelli. Unfortunately they won't work on SC 3800s.

Jonno · Poncho Master!

Gotta ask this: Are these gents related to Andy Granatelli of STP fame? The next Generation?

73SC · A Poncho Legend!

I would thnk they are related to the original.

Todd, can you put a open element air filter on your engine? I did that on my Bonneville and the 3.8 reacted very positively. I tucked it down low behind the driver's headlight area. First I removed the OEM air box, what a waste of space, then I route my own plumbing down there. I put a small hole in the plumbing and kept the air temp sensor intact. Car is long gone, wish I had a photo. It worked great. That car also had dual exhaust outlets on each side of the bumper and sounded real sweet.

I could do that. Gutting the airbox is another option. It does have a K&N filter which is overdue for a cleaning. When I had my 97 Regal I did all the tricks- smaller pulley, U bend removed from the exhaust, flowmaster mufflers, cold air intake. It really woke that engine up...and then the transmission blew...

wow, I may be able to make the 4.8 act like the 5.3 it should have been!

When you get the product in your hand it's really no secret to what is going on.

My OEM MAF had a double honey comb screen and a thick bar across the centre diameter. The outside diameter of both are the same but the Granetelli has less material all round and no wide bar or honeycomb screen so it is easy to see what they are doing. Increasing the diameter of the bore and eliminating obstructions. It is pretty simple, more air flow means sensor adjusts engine management to produce more power. They say 47% more air flow and when you have both units in your hand you can see how as I explained above.
