Default turbo stock bottom 98 ls1 efi or hp tuners?

ok here we go i finnally got my car done it was down for a year due to the hp performane kit taking a long time to send parts and need custom fabbing... it has 42 inj so far and a hotwire kit walbro ,pat springs and push rods, all stock heads intake etc long story short ...

i have a 98 ls1 camaro hp performance turbo im not exactlly sure the size of turbo but its ether a 67 or 60 mm with 70 ar ..96 ar
here is the problem it made 473 rwhp and 530 rwtq at 4800 rpm at 7.5# but maxd out maf i want to go speed density and run e85 but ......

my car was tuned on efi live and tuner said i would need to buy a 99 pcm to go speed density ?.... i heard theres a way on hp tuners to download software to go sd on 98 pcm?.... but im also hearing other ppl say its better to stay maf just have to get a better one which im on the stock z06 one .. i m good with the numbers its making but i want to be able to shift at 6200 lol

i got onit once or twice it feels good drives good and sounds crazy what are your thoughts ill post a graph thanks!!!!!!!!!

HP tuners offers a custom operating software for the 98's that efi live doesn't. You can run up to 14.7psi and be able to tune for it. I believe it goes up to 210kpa. You could also do what others do and do a computer swap and repin the harness. You would also have to do a segment swap to get your gauges to work.

X2. With a 99+ PCM you can go to a 2 or a 3 bar.

Your gonna need at least an 80 with 8-10 pounds of boost on e85. Go to rceng.com and figure out your injector size. Instead of using the BSFC .60-.65 use .85-.88 to be safe. or take .65 times .35% = your BFSC number.
