is their a required amount of distance that you have to mount the MAF from the throtle body? I was going to mount it right in front of the throtle body, is that bad?

 

no one knows the answer to this? some one told me it did and some one also said it didnt mater.

 

I think one consideration with mounting the MAF is to keep it in a straight piece of pipe before and after the MAF to keep the intake air flowing as straight as possible through the MAF to improve the readings. Other than that I don't know of any reason that it cannot be mounted close to the TB.
