So I can run a custom 3" intake or even maybe a 3.5? It will allow the S/C to suck air better, maybe resulting in less heat soak as it wouldn't have to work as hard?

I dont think that would help much or at least it would be a waste of time and money.
Your supercharger can only such so much after that its pointless. besides the lt1 maf would more then likely be more retrictive the the stock sensor.

The lt1 maf is much less sensitive that the stock maf sensor. yes you could create your own intake. I don't know how much it would help with heatsoak but in theory it should help.

From a fellow tech, that statement makes me want to BARF
Lets see,
Stock maff OVERLY sensitive to ANY changes, only 3"id, pegged at 10K Hz
LT1 maff, Very durable and predictable, 3.5" id, i now get 9300 Hz which leaves me room to grow.
The easier it is to get air to the SC the less it has to work to suck the air in. PERIOD!
Pat,
The stock table will get you running and you only need to fine tune from there. I had to adjust slightly to get me LTFT's + or - 10
You'll like it!

The LS1 NOT the LT1 has the IAT. Thats why we have to add one Kevin.
As for not using an ls1 maff, logistics! They are 2 different sizes and require extra adapters which add to the overall cost.

so when you guys say that the maf is super sensitive in the lsj.. and something about 10000hz.. what does this mean, like you say the lt1 is less sensitive at 9300 hz, what does this accomplish, how does it help when tuning the lsj? how do you tune it? etc? maybe a faq for this would be good?
