lets talk open/closed loop

A resister works flawlessly if your tuning is done properly. For those who only tune to the high engine loads, you may have a problem when substantially increasing the airflow. In these cases, either tune to the closed loop loads, or install a variable MAF resister.
You can spend the time and money redirecting airflow, but it is not necessary.

I assume the 4.0 to 4.5" maf's you mention are internal tube diameters but I may be completely incorrect as I haven't understood a lot of what has been discussed on this thread----interesting, though.
My internal diameter is 95mm, about 3 3/4" and I have never dynoed my car. Judging from the numbers provided by others for their 60-130 numbers compared to mine, I feel confident my car is producing well in excess of 700HP at the crank. I'm not sure how my tuner did it, I just know my components and my results.

Does your 95mm maf have a flow straightener? Yes, I am speaking of ID on the sizes.

What's the diameter of the stock MAF tube. Will basic cross section area calculations determine increased OEM MAF AF readability?
ie. If the cross section area is 150% of OEM cross section, the HP limit will be 150% of OEM tube and MAF??

Tony,
I don't know if my 95mm tube has a flow straightener. Since I don't even know what that is, I might not know what I was looking at if I saw it. All I remember is that there was an aluminum tube machined and adapted in place of the plastic one.
