Modifying the Mass Airflow Sensor- This is a tricky one, and if done wrong, can ruin the part and cost a 'lot' of money for a new one. Only for the seriously hard-core horsepower seeker, and one who is familiar with working with handtools. The modification is in two steps. The first step is to remove the screens in the front and rear of the MAF. This allows for much greater airflow. The screens are not really needed for protection of the hot wire inside the MAF, that is what the air filter upstream is doing. The second step is to grind away the cooling fins inside the MAF. This is the critical operation that can ruin the part if done wrong. It is best for the novice to just remove the screens and leave it at that.

thats all you need.

 

descreening the MAF and cutting the finns will allow the MAF to flow close to 750cfm. when cutting the finns I found that some duct tape around the edges and a hack saw to work the best. then a file to clean up the remaining edges. Hope this helps.

Everybody removes the screens. We go further and re-shape the inside for a dramatic increase in air flow - 750 CFM from the stock 529 CFM. (per TPIS)

 

Aren't those fins necessary to keep the heating element from over heating at idel?

Unless you llive in the desert, or a high heat state where the temps are usually in the 100's it will not be a problem.
