My understanding is that since the stock MAF electronics are used on the proPIPE no 'chipping' is necessary. The MAF should still read the necessary voltage required while passing more air (the computer will see that it's taking additional voltage to heat the MAF wires to the desired temp since it's passing more air and will compensate by adding fuel). Just to be sure I plan on dynoing the truck after this mod and doing the A/F logging as I do with all of my dyno runs (55 to date). In the event the proPIPE leans the truck out I will have the chip reburned to compensate for the additional air.

Maybe I am interpreting all this wrong ... BUT I would NOT run it with out an A/F meter...

Hell, I'd even volunteer to dyno a FreshAIR system and provide my unbiased findings for everyone to see. I'm possibly the biggest skeptic out there...so if you can win me over you've accomplished something!

Struck-
It seems to me that BABollt had indicated at one time that he had spent a lot of time figuring out the MAF and its location. Have you tried to talk to him?
I respect anyone who tries something new or different. I know you will document things via the dyno and A/F measurements. I enjoyed getting your emails on your dyno evaluations. Keep it up and good luck.

Suffice it to say that I'm confident that this setup is going to work and work well...
Need,
I have spent a good deal of time in conversations with Mike about the proPIPE so I'm not too worried about it working as described. I've also got some more items to dyno coming up (Extrude Honed and port matched upper intake plenum and possibly a Plasma Booster) so I'll of course keep you and the other members of the 'group' updated on what these are worth.

I've been wading through -
Posts about CAI - and intakes in general ... Got to tell ya' I haven't seen anything that supports the use of any of these aftermarket systems in the way of HP gains that would support spending hundreds of dollars for one...
As a matter of fact, I have seen more posts that support just the opposite - that the stock air box shows better performance.
I think I would rather spend $34.69 (and free shipping) for a K&N replacement filter and try and devise a way to get more cold air to the stock box than waste hundreds on these so called CAI aftermarket air boxes... Anyone care to reply and if I'm wrong please show me as my goal is more HP but with the best bang for my buck scenario. I don't think spending $300 for a CAI for 5 to 10 HP is constructive...

I would like to get one to mod my setup so its all metal piping! I bet that would flow some crazy numbers of air with my setup.
soap where can I get one? AIM me RTKILLAsvt
