Default 2 or 3 Bar MAP question

Adding a blower to my 06 C6Z.
If I change the stock MAP over to a 2 bar or larger, will I have to tune in speed density or will I still be able to read off the MAS?

If changing to SD is a must when going to a 2Bar sensor, what's better? Only going to run 5-7lbs of boost. I want what ever is going to be best for daily and street use. I'm not building a race car.

You can still use your MAF... no problem. What is better is another debate. Some run MAF only, some SD, and some blended. I guess it is whatever our tuner is most comfortable with. Personally, I run MAF only and like it that way.

I personally like tuning speed density. And on higher HP boosted cars it makes it run much smoother.

This!

My 1000awhp TBSS would barely run on MAF, switch to SD and it extremely smooth.
