Default maf failure

After not being impressed with the power of my whipplecharger i finially bought a scanner.
It immedialty thru out a code and said, maf low input failure.
do you think this could be hindering my performance?

not 100% sure, I will have to check tomorrow, but I think my MAF read high 300s at WOT. Check and make sure all three of the heater/sensor wires inside of the MAF are looking in good condition.

Clean it with a NON-OIL contact cleaner. If that doesn't work, get a new one.

You can use rubbing alcohol and a q-tip but be VERY CAREFULL but I would recomend what Greg said (arisol non-oil contact cleaner) so you dont have an expensive slip of the hand.
BTW... If you do mess up or it turns out bad, I have a stock meter I will make you a deal on.
