Thanks, Jason, you've been a lifesaver!

I'm not sure, Chip. The tube came as a kit from Spectre. The MAF mounting pad was already welded to the tube. I didn't make any changes other than cutting the tube and welding the halves back together 180 from stock so the MAF plug would be facing the engine. As you would surmise, I carefully ground the inside of the tube to be nice and smooth to avoid any turbulence. Should not have mattered, as that close to the wall it would be boundary layer anyway. But you know how OCD afflicted people are.

However, if that were a contributing factor, my mill could easily shorten up that pad. I'll see what Bryan has to say next week.
