The MAF is the major player in determining fuel trim, so it needs to stay in the loop. If you are going to add anything to the stock engine, you may need adapters to keep the MAF sensor connected in the proper place.
Is the intake system you want to use designed for this particular application, or are you trying to make it work? A link to the component you are looking at will help determine if it’s feasible or not.
