MAF Screen Removed, SOTP Says 10HP

So, if by removing the screen you cause a problem because you are sending more air through the unit, how is that any different than getting a larger MAF, such as the C+L 80mm MAF? Seems like it would cause the same effect on the computer.

The C&L and Pro-M are calibrated for their larger flow rates, so even if they are flowing more, the computer knows about it and compensates for it.

When removing the screen or especially the post, the engine is getting more air then the computer thinks it is and sends the proper amount of fuel for less air. So it runs a little lean.

Better flow is good, as long as the fuel is properly matched up.
