Is the Granetelli MAF a good choice if the stock MAF is maxed out?

Default Is the Granetelli MAF a good choice if the stock MAF is maxed out?

I know that the Granatelli "makes power" by leaning out the fuel curves. My question is if it actually outflows the stocker and can be scaled to work for a combo that maxes the stock MAF out at 4800 rpms?

Would there be an honest gain for a truck making more power?

Id rather get my hands on a screenless ZO6 MAF than a Granatelli.

Do not waste your money on the GMAF.....It will not flow anymore air than the stock one. Just go to a 2bar MAP if you are maxing out the MAF.

You'll need to add 2bar tuning to you HP tuners,make an adaptor for your map sensor plug and add a GM 2bar map sensor.

Alright... I know the GMAF screws most guys over, but thought it might work in this case. I'm not going to make any more boost than I am right now and I don't really want to go the SD only route. I don't have any fueling issues so I'll just leave it alone for now.
