Thanks for the reminder. The MAF on C5 Corvettes is about this same distance from the engine. I've been told the key thing is to keep enough distance such that reversion air flows don't cause air to pulsate around the internal MAF wires at idle engine speeds. This causes an inaccurate reading that results in rich idle mixtures. My plan is to have the engine dyno tuned after completing the air box. This will tell me the A/F mixtures and alert if there's any issues.
