Well,, if you have a good tuner around, you could do speed density and get rid of the MAF all together.. That's a better way to run anyway when doing power add on's because you can "fine tune" your bottom end so you don't have to run rich down low to stay good on the top end. JMO

Dump the MAF and get a 90/90 setup and you should be good to go !

How do you plan on making all this power?

In theory isn't a MAF the more accurate of the two methods as it's constantly measuring air flow.

This means that any increase in airflow into the engine goes unseen by the rest of the system. If a modification is done that increases mass airflow, such as a cold-air package, the computer has to be reprogrammed accordingly.

im adding headers, true duels, 100 shot, 3200 stall, .625/.625 lift cam, ported heads, slp lid, full msd set up, shift kit, tuned, chip, ls6 ported oil pump, possibly strocked.

good luck making 750hp with that

Most people making anywhere near that power level have either a power adder or 402+CI engine with $$$$ heads.

a 3200 stall is NOT going to like a cam that has .625 lift, you may really want to reconsider your combo.

you can try a gm 85mm maf.

In regards to some of the above statements, the maf has a higher resolution, so fine tuning can be done. However, MAF's do not like the turbulant airflow induced by high overlap cams, hence the popularity of SD.

Personally, I would !maf. one less varialbe to deal with during tuning.

He musta been readin' Meent's sig.

You will need some kinda FI or a bigger nitrous shot or more cubes to reach into the 700 range.

Oh, and I'd skip the MSD stuff and spend the money elsewhere - there are 1000+ hp cars with the stock LS1/LS6 coils, stockers are fine.

Good luck !

if you want serious help man, list up what you have done, and go from there. otherwise, ditching the MAF all together seems the best way to go.

Actually 750 FWHP "INCLUDING" the 100 shot is totally doable. If we're talking FWHP.

Thats just 650 FWHP on motor. Thats a cake-walk now-a-days with almost any cubes and the right set-up.

I hope that was a joke. But it doesn't seem like it was. The FWHP he was referring to was definately not Front Wheel HP .
