Don't remmeber what it should flow at WOT as it has been awhile since I logged one. The sensor can be put in backwards, and has been done before. Make sure the sensor portion of it is facing the air cleaner. If teh MAF reading is low, the ECM will limit fueling pretty heavily as teh LBZ bases everything off of an air fuel ratio calculator for max fueling. And this calculation relies HEAVILY on teh MAF sensor working properly to work correctly.
