mass air

I'd like to start another thread on this highly debated topic. I think it's time I change to GM MAF metering but (like most people) owning this car made me poor and I don't want to buy the translator. I've read some old posts on evom where people were talking about not needing a MAFT once some...

On my 2000 Gt, can you take the MAF apart and just use the sensor and get rid of the big box? along with all the honeycomb? i wasnt sure if losing the honeycomb piece if that would make the reading different. I just want to get rid of the box.
