CACivic,
Yes, my MAF may be a factor. The WAI faithful's last stand is that WAIs work on MAP systems, since Darin's and my WAI tests on MAF systems show no improvement. Trouble is, no one has done controlled testing proving WAIs are beneficial on any vehicle. If you go ahead with thorough ABA testing on a MAP system, you'll be the first to do it, and give us the real answer. Please do it, for all of us!
No. lack of a heat shield didn't hamper me, as I got my intake air temperatures >65 degrees above ambient for testing.
