Thanks
They are. We only accept and stock MAF sensors that we have verified to be "strong".

I had slight idling issue after my cam /heads install. While waiting in line like at McDonalds it would die, or pulling out of my driveway and then braking it would die. Didn't matter if it was at operating temp or not. My tuner looked into the tune and everything was fine. So I decided to give the strong MAF a try. The car hasn't died one time in the past 3 months.

It was also surging and bucking badly and this has also been cured. I know some are skeptical but it worked for me.

The kind of problems Jeff describes below is pretty typical. Usually an intake alone isn't enough for the "weak" MAF to freak out but an intake along with a scoop and/or ported throttle or anything else that increases air flow will. Poor idle, dying, bucking, surging, poor throttle response, weak acceleration, etc..

You definitely have more than enough going on to overwhelm a "weak" sensor.

No, this is only an issue for the V8s.
