Looking through the requirements, If doing this would do the MAF sensor of course, but not seeing anyone having done that conversion anywhere on the forum. Is a V8 MAF a direct bolt on to existing SC or is that part of the porting process?
And you are suggesting the universal flex fuel analyzer + the connector correct? Fuel Analyzer
and GM Connector

If I'm not looking to do E85, is there any power benefit to adding the new intake to the ported SC? And is the V8 MAF needed for pump fuel?
The V8 MAF isn't required for either E85 or Pump fuel.
If you refer back to the 1st post I made announcing this, the first graph shows the difference between the Stage 3, and Stage 3 + Porting which is on pump 94AKI
Power gains from a full aftermarket exhaust system
If you check the countless videos made by Supersprint Italy, those guys Dyno so many different cars when upgrading to a TRUE Free Flow full exhaust system which includes their proprietary HJS sport cats, mid pipe and exhaust muffler, the results always show an increase in horsepower. I know Supersprint uses a special CAD system when developing an exhaust system for the car. On average there's a 30 horsepower improvement with their full exhaust system for the high performance engines.. You too can find those videos and watch them. Supersprint has their own video channel on YouTube.
Supersprint has been in business for 70 years.
Yes, familiar with Supersprint, and have looked into their systems. Since this is an additive solution of parts to make the gains, everything has to be balanced. Just throwing on something could potentially negatively impact the system. That is why I asked.

Balance is critical. There are a bunch of SS video which show and explain their engineering process when developing an exhaust system. It's impressive. I just recently found out that Super Sprint headquarters is approximately 70 miles away from Ferraris corporate headquarters in Italy.
I know you have stated sport cats and exhaust don't make any performance difference, but have you tested or plan to with this combo?
We put a set of catless downpipes on this car, to see if that would push things even higher, and achieved nothing more than we would typically see in terms of run to run variance of a couple HP.

Yup. That's why we have the cars ourselves. It's why we R&D so extensively. It's why we're the only company with proper datalogging capabilities. So we can truly innovate & push boundaries in this space.
We've partnered with Jokerz Performance to bring you some comprehensive porting & tuning packages for the 3.0L Engines. Our initial research from bolting on one of their CNC ports showed some moderate gains, but with additional tuning & development work on the dyno and the street we unlocked a ton more.
558BHP on Pump Fuel. 598BHP on E85. And 612BHP with our carbon intake & V8 MAF upgrade. We'll be demonstrating this performance in the real world soon. Dyno graphs are all on the website to review.
does upgrading to the v8 MAF housing/ sensor add hp?
At those levels of tune, yes. If you look at the last graph when we added the intake & V8 MAF we gained 15WHP. It would probably not make 15WHP on a completely stock XE, but at those power levels the intake is becoming restrictive.

I saw that, I guess I should of mentioned without porting the SC does it add more HP because I have everything except the intake you guys have made & ported SC

We did not test it on the vehicle pre-porting. It's probable a safe assumption to figure that a base 340BHP vehicle would add zero HP from adding the intake. We know that at 598BHP we picked up 15HP. And that everything in between is probably a sliding scale somewhere in the middle.

with me adding the v8 MAF housing/sensor would I need to get my current e85 tune adjusted?
