MAF is consistently maxing out - Options?
This is for my 98 TA in my sig. I'm running a descreened ZO6 85mm MAF with the 98 PCM. As most know the 98 OS only goes up to 11250hz for the MAF.
I'm consistently maxing the MAF from 80-100% TPS (sometimes even lower). WB is virtually right on compared to commanded AFR (12.85). After a little WOT datalogging today I noticed the MAF actually hit 12220hz in one spot, while the rest of the run was between 11234-11663hz. I've never seen the MAF register that high (12220hz) on my car, but I routinely see it go above 11250hz at WOT. So now I need to consider my options and was looking for some input and suggestions.
Here are some of the options I was thinking about:
1) - Switch to a later year OS
2) - Switch to a 100mm MAF
3) - Switch to Speed Density
Any help and feedback is appreciated.

If your maxing out your best option to go on from here is a speed density. I'd think you could have it tuned where it still uses the MAF as an assist to the SD tune to help out with normal driving but the SD being the main tuning the car runs on.

is it throwing a mil when u max it out, set high fail to 15000 if it is. Once you get to 11250 hz or whatever it gets it will use its last known value for eg 350g/s. If it starts to go lean at say 5500rpm use the pe table to richen it up, you will be on top of peak torque then anyway so it shouldnt need much more fuel. I wouldnt be too concerned about it.

foff667 - I'm still using the stock 98 PCM.
RedHardSupra - That's for clarification. For some reason I don't have the MAF airflow rate PID selected. I will add it for the next log.
I ran a quick WOT run today and noticed the WB hit 13.2 right at 7040 and 6885 (shift points) rpms, but was fine in the lower rpms. The MAF hz also went above 12K on the first shift point.
