Default What size MAF are you running?

I currently have an 85mm MAF sensor. I think thats way to big, the stock is 65mm, correct? What size are you guys running and did you notice any increase when you switch it? I am thinking about going with mabye a JLT CAI and putting the stock MAF housing back on. But my SCT flash tuner is programed for the 85mm, (I had it dynoed tuned with my current set up) does anyone know if I can change it, with the flash tuner back to stock?

Did you buy your tuner from a shop? If so I'd go back there for a retune, hell it maybe cheaper....

Why does a bigger sensor help performance? Isn't it just a sensor?

Stock 4.6 MAF is 80mm, newer ones might even be 85mm (01-04) you don't need a different MAF if you are bolt on NA...stock flows just fine.
