Default Speed Density tuning? What is it?

Does this mean you tune the car to make it speed density? Do you bypass the MAF or do you just run the car w/o it?

Its pretty much just turning the MAF sensor off and tuning the ecu to run a certain a/f. The only problem I ever see with speed density is its unability to adjust to climate changes. With a maf, you can program the maf to demand a certain a/f and it will adjust to climate changes.

Yup, that and you can't run a dry shot.

Thanks or the info guys. I remember the pre 94 LT1's were SD. Charlie from A&A recommends to tune my car in SD when I get the 402 - I didn't know you could switch easily.

Is SD going to be a smog problem?
