Weak MAF on Stock LS3

If you read Vararam's findings, they state that the weak MAF is "slow to respond". This would make me think that all cars with the weak units are affected regardless of mods. I have felt that my car was a little slow in throttle response since day one. This is well before I read about this weak versus strong stuff. Surely someone else has experienced the same thing.

it couldnt hurt to replace it, the throttle response cannot really be tested, but it only become obvious after more airflow is induced. if it is slow to respond for alot of air, it must be slow to respond to the stock. there is a reason gm doesnt use them in their cars anymore

Yes, the "weak" MAF sensor problem affects all camaros. If you find that you have a "weak" sensor you should replace it with a "strong" one.
