I had a buddy that attended the SEMA Show last week and brought me back a new product from Jet. It is a Jet 69138 Powr-Flo Mass Air Sensor. It took about 10 minutes to install. It is supposed to increase efficiency so that you get 12+ HP increase, increase mileage, and better throttle control.
I am not a performance guy, but it did seem that I had better pick up and easier starts, but maybe it was my imagination. I will check the mileage on the next long trip that I take.
If the MAF sent different info to the ECU it could change performance. Not saying that this does but its possible. But if it were true that you can have better mileage and higher horsepower I'd say that would do it from the factory.

Jet has been making this kind of stuff for years. I think some are larger, but this is just the sensor, not a MAS Housing. Mine is coming soon!
Part of their claim is that the flow is better by using thinner sensors. The voltage (or resistance) curve provided to the ECU is likely different than OEM.

The JET Powr-Flo Mass Air Sensor delivers improved horsepower, torque and mileage from your car, truck or SUV by simply replacing the restrictive stock mass air sensor. The factory sensor not only is a major restrictive point in stock intake systems, but it also limits the full potential of aftermarket cold air intake systems. The flow bench tested design of the JET Mass Air Sensor provides airflow increases of up to 45% and installs in 10 minutes or less. Compatible with other aftermarket upgrades such as computer upgrades, cold air intakes, TBI spacers, free flow exhaust systems, etc.
* Increased horsepower and low end torque
* Improved mileage
* Simple 10 minute installation
* No other vehicle modifications required
* Optimizes cold air intakes

Anyone that abreviates 'power' as Powr is NOT getting my money.
Also - if this aftermarket MAF really does make power completely by itself, it makes it the same way someone spraying nitros into the intake does - by tricking the ECU into thinking that there's more air there than there really is.

I'm quite sure this was meant for OEM applications, and minor mods. I'm just wondering if this part would benefit anyone with tuning capabilities like Uprev. Can't wait to see installation and application actual usage.
It's funny, I was looking at this thing tonight actually. People have been tuning with MAF's already. Havent heard any big news yet.............
im intrested as well.. make sure you do some datalogs showing the cfm of air per sec and also some 0-60 runs before and after so we can decide if this mod is worth getting if you are already uprev tuned..
