No, theoretically you could spend hundred of hours tweaking the new intake's design until the voltage coming out of the MAF matches the stock intake's voltage for every flow amount... but then you've just exactly duplicated the stock intake, so what's the point?

The only way to get the benefit of more flow w/o having potential issues w/ the tuning is to properly recalibrate the MAF table for the higher flow intake.
