I have a theory...

Some one sabatoged you. This person didnt want you to get the car running good becasue they know when you do they will have to go to the drag strip with you and run their car So instead of facing the truth about their own Max, they sabatoged yours... :cough:3.125:cough:

Mr Watson I presume?

I doubt it, because the NOS nitrous kit for LS1's sprays directly through their MAF sensor. But that may be a reason for a 14.9

Glad to hear it was the MAFS like I thought . MAFS are the cause of 99% of engine idle issues.
