hate to sound like a newb. But how do you get rid of the MAF, i thought it was necessary to keep the car running? Is it tuning it out? or is there something that replaces it?

Otherwise, there's no proven benefit other than removing a minor restriction in the intake. IMO, the ability of the MAF to better compensate for various conditions (weather and driving) is reason enough to keep it. Others are a little more of what I call trend followers....no offense michael.
awesome knew about the whole speed density thing, just didn't know that you could switch a MAF'd car over to it. Thanks for the response though.
