bigger maf question

so i was wondering what is it about the 3" maf that makes it everyones choice for a maf

i ask this because there are 3.5 inch maf housing available..

why has no one used one?

is there a loss of power with anything over 3"

cant it be tuned to adjust to the 3.5" maf

I don't think anything over 3" is necessary for most applications, if not all.

How extensively did you look? There are people running 3.5" mafs.

No loss in power.

You MUST tune to adjust for the larger maf.
