Hey, does the hellion kit come with a new MAF sensor? I was reading an issue of MM&FF and they said the stock sensor was maxed out and kept pegging. And then they said something about a pro-M wave one being used instead. Does the kit come with that or do you need to buy that separately?
does the hellion kit include a MAF sensor?

Included with the kit, probably not. The stock MAF sensor "should" be able to handle a base kit. It's when you start turning up the wick that you run in to pegging issues. At that point you have to start looking at larger sensors or things like MAFia's that fool the computer in some way or another.
A New MAF sensor is $475 minus $75 if you send in your core.. so they are not cheap. I hope the MAF doesnt peg. It probably won't with ~6psi of boost, but id rather be safe than sorry.
How much horsepower (Estimated) is the stock MAF sensor good for?

We have never maxed out the stock MAF sensor on the 5.0's, and we don't exactly make small power either.......
Thank God. I didnt want to buy another sensor for $400. I wonder why MM&FF said they pegged the stock sensor then? :shrug:
good question! Maybe they were plugging this M-wave MAF for profit. If so -- shame. How much power was MM&FF making?

No clue on that guys. We made 815 to the wheels on Chris Cruz's 11 5.0 in the KOTS competition running 9.70's on 20's, went 8.89 in our Kona Blue 5.0 last year, made 783 on the KB and 834 with a F1 on 2 different Bosses, all with the stock MAF sensors.
All the turbo 2011's we have done all have used the stock sensor. Even our 953rwhp KOTS car is running the stock one.
No need to worry sir!

MM&FF made 550rwhp and around 600 rwtrq when they did the testing. They said the stock maf sensor got pegged so they installed the Pro-M.
I dont know why they would say that then?, when both Evo and BBR plus many others have used the stock sensor for very high hp applications
Ya that's what I'd guess and if so, it's kinda sad. Instead of real reporting we get basically an advertisement. I guess the new 5.0 is just so awesome and mod-ready they have to make stuff up to sell products now lolz

Maybe you guys know something I dont, my maf runs out of freq around 7100 rpm on a 3.6in pulley.
Any help?

Anyone got some info?
Would love to spin this thing to 7500 again.

The only time I have seen the stock MAF get pegged was with a Novi 2200 auto 2011 gt/cs
How much boost?
What size is the MAF housing?
whatever is stock on the paxton kit. Website says 98mm.

buy one of those Pro-M maf's and see what she does on the dyno. I'm going to try my luck with the stock sensor once i put the hellion kit on my car.
How much power are you putting down at 10-11 psi?
