2nd, the length of that tube would preclude any measurable differential for the MAF to detect - why do you think Ford engineers centered the MAF pickup ?

Oh, thats a good one. But wait..... Here is the best part....

i was trying to find it yesterday but gave up. i was trying to remember if it was off of modular depot or some other half bit site. but i dont care if its legit or not. im pretty sure it doesnt because it never made since to me. but it just so happend the intake i got the MAF as u know will only bolt on in one direction. and that is the direction it went on there.

2nd..
doesnt look to centered to me
ford uses a sample tube style MAF sensor to read a sample of the air flowing through it. GM sensors measure accross the whole flowing surface of the sensor.. i think u were confused.
