I had picked up a used OEM MAF so I could return the Duralast MAF I've been running for a few years and the cam sensors from my old DE engine for a refund, friend of mine is a manager at AutoZone so it was no hassle. I had also returned their 5th gen axles a while back for 6th gen axles as well as an alternator and got a 125 amp 4th gen alternator, both from Rockauto for half the price.

I must say, the OEM MAF really makes a difference. the engine idles way smoother and precise, I don't see any idle dips as well as better throttle response...

I also feel better low end power which helps using the six-puck clutch.

after getting on it a few times it feels more powerful period... 😁

 

nice update, let this be a reminder go OEM or go home when it comes to sensors, and MAFs.....which is a sensor in itself.......
