i just recently bought a 1990 Lx with a v-1 on it, the MAF is hooked up every half ass it seems like. I was curious if the MAF is suppose to be before or after the s/c. Or do people usually convert it from MAF to something else..

the current setup starting at the TB and working your way to filter is as followed. TB, s/c, MAF, air filter. just curious if that is the correct order.

thanks for your time.

That's correct. It could go either way, depending on what type of MAF you have though. If it's a draw through type (like stock) it would be upstream of the supercharger head unit. It sounds like you have this setup. You could also run a blow through type MAF that goes downstream of the head unit between the supercharger discharge and the throttle body.
