Default Is it time for SD?

I have been running a stock LS1 MAF for the last year with my 60-1 but now am upgrading to a T76 and a bigger intercooler. I expect the car to make around 500 to the wheels. Should i stick with the MAF or should i consider going over to SD at this point?

If you have all the software/hardware, patients and some common since then do it.

Well i drive the car very light on the street and baby the car most of the time. It also will only see maybe 2 track days year to see if we can hit the 10s on the stock bottom end. Ryan up at RPM is my tunner.

Try it and see if you like it then.. I know when I switched over to a SD tune, and finally got my VE tables dialed in the car felt really good.

I talked to Jason at rpm. He thinks the MAF will do. Ryan is my tuner up there and has done a hell of a job in the past.

At 500 rwhp I'd stay with the MAF. There are a lot of issues I don't care for about SD.

Thats what me and ryan had talked about before. As long as the MAF can still make good power i dont see any reason to switch over.
