We tried the AEM one and it actually seemed to make things a tad worse. I have to check the logs and see if I have some of the street tests we had with it. There was a piece of plastic on the AEM one that we were thinking may be causing additional turbulence. We did not try a straightener.

We however did find a way to smooth it out via tuning and I was scheduled to have it on the dyno this afternoon for "some" testing to see how it worked out but I might not have enough time to finish the testing. I thought we were going to have to cancel the dyno session today but we might still be able to swing it.

Yes my car is dead but I have a friend who has been letting me use their car for testing purposes!

Also note I don't have a problem with the knock issues before digging deep into this to see if we could resolve it with a physical solution (instead of tuning). We are just seeing if we can fix the AFR bumps caused by the bad MAF readings and see if we can net any additional low end power. I'll post back this evening if I manage to get the car on the dyno!
