Many consider the Maf a restiction once you start making alot of power since they only go up to 90mm (100 mm ones have been recently released). Really what it comes down to is the maf allows your car to adjust better for altitude and temperature etc. However with a good speed density tune especially in a boosted application like yours you may never know the difference. I suggest you check out the tuning section on LS1tech and read up on it and decide for yourself. You may also want to talk to some tuners you are considering because I am far from an expert on this topic. What kind of power are you looking to make?

Again, thanks for your help, input and advice guys! My target hp goal is 1000-1200. I was told this is doable with with 408 cid, twin Turbonetics 62-1's, L92 heads, truck exhaust manifolds, 18psi boost, with good gas, yada, yada, yada. I just want to do it right the first time, since this is an expensive endeavor...no budget for mistakes or re-vamping. I have the GMPP 4-bbl intake, was considering a TPIS sheet-metal intake with a 90 or 100mm tb. I see alot of guys running the 4-bbl intake with an elbow and a 90mm tb. I'm concerned about flow from the elbow to the intake vs. a TPIS sheet-metal intake with a 90 or 100mm. Plus, the TPIS just looks killer!!! Especially with the TT set-up.
