Another Test idea.....

Watcha think. This weekend at the strip. We are going to be playing with the cars. I might take my Dads MAF meter which is 100% stock, not gutted anything and run it on my car to see what effect a gutted out MAF really has on a pretty heavily modded up motor.

What do you think? As far as the tune, I think if it cuts airflow all I will do is run a little richer.

I think it will be a neat test to try. Wouldn't we all crap a load, if it ran the same? :eek:

What do you think? Lets hear it. :cheers:

Great idea Ski.

If it turns out that it runs better with the screens, don't tell us!! :rolleyes:

I also think it would run richer. An interesting test would be to burn a prom that accounts for your bigger injector and larger CI and leave the rest of the parameters alone (Maybe adjust the trigger for code 33 for a higher airflow since you have bigger cubes) and see how the stock calibration runs. That way we can see the limits of the stock spark/fuel tables.

It would kind of support the concept that MAF is much more flexible than SD.

Re: Another Test idea..... (Hole-Shot)

I would run the tune I have running now that is tuned for the SR. perhaps your confusing this test with that of the one I am going to be doing with the other intake. This weekend is just to collect some weather data with runs to have a more even comparison when we finally do test the other intake.

This MAF test was just something I was going to throw in, when it came up on a different board, when a gentleman like so many others, are led to believe by a few, for a lack of better words, idiots. That spread rumors that you can' make any power with a MAF system.

So basically I will not be changing anything from my current configuration, except the MAF meter.

My car would run like a turn with the stock timing table. Trust me. Hell for that matter, the stock cars run like crap IMHO with the tunes they come with. At least mine did, in comparison to the tuning I did. You have to remember the GM engineers put tunes in these car not for performance, but to pass emission regulations. The two do not go hand and hand.
