Also teh intake manifold would have a crossover tube.

But like I said, it's only a guess and probably wrong.
I have heard the same rumour... but for the most part, I think it's crap. They would have had to certify that setup for part of one model year. Not even GM is that stupid.

More than likely you have confused the existance of some 93 mule cars for cars produced and sold in 93.

I don't totally agree with this statement. However a MAF strategy on a stock engine will often give a bit more precise fuel control in the early stages of control. By this I mean that because the fuel control logic is similar in both strategies. The logic is similar in that they are both feed forward strategies with the final control element being the o2 sensors. In saying this, whereas the MAF sensor in system is the primary element giving the PCM a air flow reading and where the other is the MAP sensor giving the PCM a basic load value to make fuel requirement calculation.

In both strategies the o2 sensors gives the PCM information so that it can predict fueling requirements, in both immediate (short term) and for future (long term) fueling needs. In this sense if the sensor sees that that its a bit rich the PCM will trim the fuel back or add if it goes the other way. In both the early and later MAF cars this same logic exists. While one maybe a little more accurate in its coarse adjustment than the earlier SD logic. The final control is nearly the same in both. I have seen SD cars get upwards of 30 MPG in stock unmodified cars. And I have seen MAF strategy engines do a bit better than 30. The main reason GM reverted back to using the MAF systems was strictly for emissions requirements.
