i don't use all the mass air flow tables .

On the digital temp gauge if you have one? Analogs lie my 94 runs under 200 on the freeway and the fans start at 225. They do run hotter than most. I pulled my radiator and cleaned it when mine was over 200.

This is in reference to 205 grams/sec on the MAF when you are data logging correct? That should be normal, you will not hit 254 gr/sec until you have mods that are near 350 HP.

It is good that it does not read much higher because it allows you to do additional modifications before the MAF hits the max reading of 254 gm/sec and then the tuning becomes less consistent.

205 gm/sec peak air flow sounds about right for the listed mods...maybe 230-240 rwhp.

However, if you have edited the MAF tables while tuning, you have changed the MAF calibration, so all bets are off with respect to accuracy.

With original tuning 206 gm/sec is 4.39 volts.

You can use your WBO2 to recalibrate the MAF so that the WBO2 matches the target AFR with neutral fuel trims (assuming the injector settings and fuel pressure are also correct).

To do this efficiently, you need to include your WBO2 0-5 v output into the data stream so that signals can be logged simultaneously.
