Default MAF failure set to 0 - does timing go to LO table?

OK, did some searching and could'nt find the answer I wanted. Basically how do you guys that took the MAF off handle the timing? Do you just set HO and LO timing tables equal, or is there some trick I am missing?

don't understand your respons humpin. Are you saying you just set HO timing=LO timing and leave it at that? Does that cause any problems if you were to get some bad gas, or is it just a risk you have to take?

Well, I'm currently running HPT's 1-bar SD Enhanced program, so both of my tables are active.

But to more directly answer your question, yes, your car reverts to the Low Octane table for its timing. KR, however, is still active. If you get bad gas...well, that is the risk you take.

You still have like up to 15 degrees of KR the computer can retard at part throttle (4 degrees at WOT). If you get bad gas, it will still pull timing. Just make sure you run 91 or higher and youre fine. KR will offer some protection.

Thanks for the repsonses guys. Humpin, don't worry I am not real awake in the morning either .

Steve, how do you like SD enhanced? Was it worth the 50$ in your opinion?

I do like the SD enhanced, especially the safety net that both timing tables provide. But my car, being bone stock internally (and just a full exhaust, mild intake work car), really doesn't need the TPS vs. RPM table since my MAP values increment in a very predictable way. If your MAP values jump a ton with little throttle input, that table would save you a lot of headaches and give you even more control over everything.

Thanks for the input Steve. My MAP values do jump a decent amount, especially in lower rpm ranges. I may go ahead get the enhanced version and see what it can do.
