Default Switching from ls6 to Vic Jr. with Fast 4150

Ended up trading some of my parts for a Vic Jr. Intake with a fast 4150 tb. I am running maf tune with a ported ls6 with ported stock ported tb right now. I am wondering if I would be better off keeping the maf tune or going to a SD tune. I am not very good at tuning with my hpt. I would like to go SD anyone have first hand experience with SD tune over Maf tune with this setup? Also am I going to see some good gains over what I have. Looking for some advice. Here is a picture of the new setup.

I'm running in SD right now, but I'm going to install my 100mm maf and give it a try here in the near future. PS... Get ready to do some cutting !!!

LOL Im ready to cut. How did it run with the hat on compared to the hat off? Did you do your SD tune yourself or did you take it to a tuner?

Haven't tried it with the hat off. I'm shooting a 150 dry shot in the filter, and have a 4150 big shot under the TB... I have HP Tuners, and trying to do it myself.

Are you new to tuning with HPT? Is it hard to tune SD? Why are you going back to the MAF? Also what was your setup before and did you pickup going to this setup now?

When you run SD, you are using all the secondary tables. Especially on the 98's, they are very low resolution. ( ve tables ) I had an LS2 intake w/ a FAST 90mm. I use to run 10.80 - 11.0 with the 150 dry shot, and now I just hit 10.6 running out of fuel... Just upgraded to the twin intake walbro's, and that took my fuel pressure up to 70lb... It's like starting over again...

Just wondering what cube motor are you running ? I'm still a 346, but 14:1 compression.

Running a stock bottom end 346. Et wise the best I got it down to with the ls6 intake is a 6.52 in the 1/8. I was hoping to pick up a little with this new setup. I hope I am not going the wrong direction..?

Right now my car has a NX stage 3 camshaft in it. Will that work ok with this intake setup or should I get a different cam. Here are the specs.

SEAT 292-298 @50 235-239 LOBE LIFT .353-.341 VALVE LIFT .600-.580. 112

It will work. The main thing that will be changed is the VE Tables. Under air flow. I manually adjusted them for idle & throttle response, before I data logged. The cam I'm running was made for a big cube stroker... LOL !!! If I can make it work, you won't have any trouble !

Anyone else have input. Is it a waste of time using this cam?
