Default Alkycontrol install

Im currently planning the install of my alkycontrol kit. And i was wondering if we could use the LT4 map sensor on maf sensor to trigger the pac controller instead of the provided mechanical map sensor in the kit. I know its not a sd tune base , but i was wondering what everybody is doing with that!!

You should be using the MAF adapter kit and not the MAP version so you can have a more progressive spray that scales appropriately with airflow and not pressure. If you use the MAP kit the meth volume is pretty much going to be the same from beginning to end and it's going to hit like a ton of bricks at the beginning in the lower RPMs and pulling that much fuel out of the main tune sucks.

Yep-just as NicD said, MAF to do it properly.

If it is a new kit the frequency converter for the MAF mounts inside the car away from the engine heat which is better imho. If you have an older kit I would extend the wires and mount it in a cool area.
