I thought about trying to keep the MAF where I first tried to put it which was right on the box feeding the TB, but I figured trying to keep it the stock distance would yield the best results. I am thinking maybe the time delay between the air going through the MAF, and the air actually reaching the intake manifold would be figured in, and I was afraid if I moved it to close to the throttle body maybe the ECU has a half second delay to compensate for the placement of the MAF in stock location, and I may throw that off by moving it to close. This theory is pure speculation of course.
