Speed density tune or not...

I don't know. If they fail you for failed codes, then I guess it's possible. Is the MAF considered an emissions thing in NY? It's just for airflow readings. Once you tune the car's VE table, it reads from the table based on MAP and RPM vs the MAF. So the fueling isn't going to be way out of line... If it was you'd burn up a piston or wash down the rings.
This is one reason I like Florida. I could drive a back-halved car on the street and they wouldn't care. They'd pull me over to talk to me about it.

Thanks for all the feedback guys

You can fail the MAF setting the fail mode to "FAIL ON FIRST ERROR" and uncheck the "SES ENABLE" box. I have done it many times and it works. Doing it this way the PCM sets the MAF code and reverts to SD mode, but will not report the DTC to a scan tool. The DTC is active just not visible to a scanner.
If you set the fail mode to "NO ERROR REPORTED" it will not fail the maf and will never revert to SD. This is different
I don't know how this affects the readiness monitors or if you can pass emissions.

I have found setting MAF codes to MIL on first error makes for easier starts after a battery disconnect. No Mil Light sometimes takes a few tries to start the engine. However, once the MAF code is set it will start without issue until the battery is unplugged or the PCM is flashed.

Ok, it just doesn't matter if you set the Maf DTC to mil on 1st error, 2nd error or no mil light. As that will still set the Maf DTC and will default to speed density. Changing when the Mil light comes on or not is just that, nothing to do when the code sets.
And to be in SD, there has to be a Maf code, doesn't matter if the Mil light is on or off.

I believe if you go to the DTC screen in hp tuners while it's running, it will tell you if the readiness monitors are happy.
You can also try a normal scan tool that shows the monitors condition.
I believe inspection simply looks for the check engine light, and checks the monitors.
Unless they are getting smarter, they wouldn't know what the DTC means. There are certainly DTC's the PCM sets but don't illuminate the CEL in the factory tune.
If you have visual inspection, leave the MAF in. Worried about a flow restriction, gut it.

I'll see if I can call the shop that does my inspection today. They don't pop the hood or look under the car. Just plug and go lol.
What I do know is that if the car does fail the information goes directly to NYS and you have so many days to get it fixed. No way around it. The computer is tied directly into their systems.

If the CEL isn't illuminated, you're going to be fine.
If I was you, personally, get it inspected NOW, then have your tuber simply take the literal 5 seconds to swap it to SD, and be on your merry way.
Once the tune is dialed in, it's dialed in. The tune itself doesn't change going MAF or SD, or back again.

How do you correctly set it up for speed density...?
