Eric...you can't put the filter right on the throttle body and be done..there's a maf that's got to go in there..just saying..by the time you put all that stuff put together ( throttle bidy,coupling, maf, coupling, intake tube,filter) you start running out of room and need to turn 90 degrees or so to get it all In..

On my last project I was able to do this but it was expensive and here is why If you use a Holley HP-EFI or Dominator and their harness they use a speed density tune and it does not require a MAF.

I loved the operation and clean look but $2400 for their system is just a bit much so I will be going with the stock set up that will require a MAF.

This is how it looked in my last project which was a 56 Corvette with an LS6, all I had to do is drill a small hole in the rubber between the air filter and TB for an air temp sensor. It is a pretty slick system and I will be using a Holley Dominator on my next project which is a 57 GMC with an LS2.
