I know everyone recommends using the LQ4 maf, but i see on 3800perfomance.com, they use a maf off the LS6 corvette. I know those would be harder (more expensive if new) to find. But i was wondering why isn't the MAF used off the cadillac that the TB is taken off of? Like if i were to go to the yard and pull a N* TB, why doesn't anyone use that MAF? I tried searching it, but didnt find any answers. Thanx in advance

Interesting questions..
Never looked for the answers myself. Might be smaller etc.

dang, i figured u woulda knew lol. you've been helpful to me on all my posts (thanx also). It just crossed my mind cuz i was at the yard yesterday and was gonna take the whole setup, but recalled i never heard anyone talk about using it. so i came home to look it up and didnt see anything.

Ok, i did some research and according ZZP the LQ4 is popular because as they quote "
The LQ4 maf is cheap, and easy to replace if you ever need a replacement. It cross references to many different applications.
". i looked on autozone's website, and the 00-05 northstar engines use the same MAF part number as the 99-2000 6.0 engine chevy trucks. sooo, i'm guessing i can use the MAF from the caddy then

yer minute is up.
If you are N*'ing.. turn the vacuum port to the back (I use a say 13mm socket on a rachet as a lever) and then hose it.

sorry about the pics, all i have is a cam phone
this is how it looks from the top....that hose runs along to the bottom of the TB
and this is underneath

just to be clear, when N*ing, i connect the MAF hose to the adapter bracket's fitting, and the PCV hose to the fitting on the TB?If you have more questions. feel free to browse my pb account.
