Thumbs up Car pulls like it should now

Well guys i have been driving around without a Honeycomb in my MAF for quite some time. Well today i picked up a new MAF and installed it . Lemme tell you this It was a HUGE difference in power , so much in fact that im very impressed and had to share with you guys . I wonder how much WHP i gained from the 270 i was at . Car Pulls all the way to redline now where before it would higher rpms would climb slower

I took it out when i knew nothing about these cars , thinking it would give the car better air flow I know what an idiot but these forums have taught me alot and saved me thousands in terms of fixing , troubleshooting and installing parts

You still haven't learned not to use that Tial BOV, though.

I cannot believe this whole time you were without a honeycomb. I wonder how you haven't permanently damaged anything...

yr computer is not "seeing"/reading any airflow and i wonder how it determine how much fuel to add ... u might be running either very rich or very lean at certain rpm....

I thought the little wire that sticks behind the honeycomb is what measured the airflow/temp difference to get the reading and the honeycomb is there to smooth the airflow out, not actually meter it. Or am I mistaken?

That is correct, but without the honeycomb to smooth the air the little wire does not get an accurate reading.
