Default Turning MAF Backwards?

I read a post today in the computer diagnostics section that says turning the MAF around backwards will richen up the motor. didnt say why or how just that it worked. anyone else heard of this or done this mod and seen any gains or losses? seems to me the MAF wouldnt even work but hey i could be wrong.

Thats for an Fbody. Out truck MAF is a different design and will not easily reverse. The Fbody MAF is the same diameter on both sided, so it flips easily.
