Yet some rushed them to market without understanding how the LLT worked. Look at how long CMax, RX Performance and Mike Norris Racing have been working on a ported throttle body for us. The engines are so efficient to begin with that it is hard to get gains. The difference between the throttle body project and this MAF is that that team has been testing and showing us result. In fact they refused to release the first version because it seemed to make less power. We would just love to see Jet do the same. They probably do that level of work on many of their applications, but why not for the LLT?

actually... I searched a LOT of different forums when this Jet MAF first came out... I never really found ANYONE that could show that the Jet MAF lived up to it's claims, regardless of what kind of car! In fact I found a few guys where the Jet actually caused issues..
I think the Jet MAF is probably at the price point where enough guys will simply spend the money on the HOPE that the Jet MAF will live up to it's claims... and then they never even bother to do any kind of verification... they simply take the companies word...
You bring up TB spacers... I have never seen one make any kind of difference on any kind of modern fuel injected car... yet people still buy them... I mean take a 30 seconds and do a google and you'll easily find that TB spacers don't do anything... yet, people buy them... I'm guessing it the same with the Jet MAFs... enough people simply HOPE they will work and keeps Jet in business...
A majority of people simply don't do any research into these types of products... they simply buy them... like my brother who bought one of those generic computer chips that adds 60+ HP to your car!
