LS1 or LT1 MAF?

[T- Type Tim]

What is your preference and why?

I believe the LS1 is around 3.5" vs. 3" for more flow. And, if buying new I think you can find the LS1's for cheaper.

fbody and vette lt1's have 3.5" mafs also. iron headed lt1's have 3".

for either sensor to work you need MAF translator so why even consider LT1 -3" sensor when you can use bigger 3.5" LS1 MAFfor extra flow ,I think our cars run the best on LS1 until you go realy big with intake piping /turbo / throttle body , I used LS6 ZO6 ( no screen ) plastic sensor with my Big Mouth 4" intake and I loved it even more .

id go with the ls1 3.5, the lt1 is a 3" just like the stock mas

I have a 3.5" LT1 sensor I had left over from a friends 95 z28, I have a 3"LT1 sensor on the car now until I buy the 3.5" maf pipe. Both sizes from LT1's. I don't know which is better- LT1 or LS1 but I know the LT1 sensor work good and they both read higher than stock.

Thanks, ordered a LS1 with adapters and translator, hopefully this will prove to be a reliable swap, I am sick of the remanned ones........

Hi,
Doesn't turbo inlet size have anything to do with what maf size is chosen?
