Default Speed density tune

You would probably see a pretty good gain, and yes you would have to retune it. It would probably barely run if at all.

Why is it titled speed density tune when you're talking about MAFs?

Keep the stock MAF at that power level.

^^^This, I ran the stock LS2 maf, on my old setup, all the way up to 800rwhp... just fyi

I ran both in the upper 700 range and speed density was much better for city driving, it may be over kill at your power level, but when I put on my A&A setup this winter I plan on speed density with my A6 as it is a daily driver that I want the best for driving vs performance in this case

Either mode will "drive" fine with the right tuner setting it up.

Having said that, I'd run a bigger MAF housing.
