We would want the maf sensor to read it right. The maf reads it wrong, it will go lean or rich. Rich = too much gas, lean = too much air. X mentioned, he's tricking the maf into thinking there's less air. You trick the maf into thinking there's less air, your going to run rich for sure. You would want the maf to read it right so it can adjust the A/F on its own. Talk about melting pistons and such. I wouldn't buy that maf housing or do it your way. The way I slanted mines is trying to give the maf sensor a more accurate read so it can adjust on its own.
