see my previous posts in this very thread for more text on the topic

stop this
it makes all of you look very silly
I agree with what you said but only if the block is far enough before the MAF that it will see the total air flow being pulled through the intake. BUT if the block is placed to where the MAF sensor is in a space of dead air it will not read the total air being consumed by the engine.
