Maybe I'm confused with that gas fuse pull thing and letting it sit overnight.

You are thinking about the fuse pull. This is a hardware issue. You can't get around it with software.

I just had my car tuned after install of an AGP kit and was wondering if the switch to a strong MAF required a retune?

To be honest, I am not 100% sure. It is possible that it will need an update.

Planning on pulling my MAF today to check, but in the meantime I noticed it says "out of stock" on your website. In case I need it, when do you plan to have some?

We have them on order. Just waiting for them to come in.

I have a 2011 SS L99 which has a "weak MAF", (according to the identifying technique you described); however, at idle with my AC OFF it reads from 1850-1925 Mhz? Perhaps identifying the weak MAFS is not as easy as it seems? Is my mMAF still weak? I never read the readings during a data log at full throttle....

We do not recommend swapping for the sake of swapping. As long as you don't encounter the drivability issues after induction upgrades described you have nothing to worry about.

I installed a new CAI from Cold Air Inductions this weekend. NICE! I checked my MAF, and the strangest thing is that it had NO letters or numbers within the area where the code is supposed to be within the recessed part. Just some very small looking symbol of some sort. I have a 2011 SS convertible. Anyway, it runs perfect with no idle issues and moves like hell.

If you can, post a photo of it. Typically an intake alone is not enough to cause problems and as long as you are not having any there is no reason to worry.

Ok, I'll have to remove it again to do that, but it's not a big deal. I'll post one soon. (oh boy, I'm new to my Iphone and this site. How exactly does one post a picture from their Iphone to here?)

There is no such thing as an aftermarket performance MAF sensor. There are only shady companies that put their sticker on a factory MAF and lie about it.
