On a GM 5.3 V8. What do you think would happen if you modifed the intake in such a way that the Mass Airflow sensor was only a few inches from the throttle body?

 

I have been thinking about it, too...

No probs so far...

 

I just found this site that addresses this mod.

And I quote:
" Other modifications can affect even a stock sensor. The airbox, inlet tube and intake tube to the throttle body will cause the system as a whole to be slightly different. Let's not get too freaked out though. Again, the benefits of these mods are often marginally good. One key thing to remember is that the closer the MAF is to the throttle body the higher the effect the intake feedback has on the meter's accuracy. The fewer restrictions you have between these parts also can cause problems, usually rough idle and poor performance at low throttle positions. Ideally get the MAF farther away from the throttle body."
