Strong mass air sensor

How legit is this strong vs weak mass air sensor I have one that is described as weak it just has a letter no number on my 11 ss my tuner didn't act like he had any issues just curious if there is something I could be leaving on the table

The so called "bad ones" are not hard to tune in at all.

I thought they ran out up top sooner than they should. Don't want to run out of MAF on a MAF tuned boosted car. Could be wrong but that was the way I understood it. Figured with as much money as I had in this car, swapping out the MAF was no big deal.

I've got a couple of 2010's pushing 700rwhp. No issue's with the "weak" MAFs.
