Default MAF calibration>after descreen and port

I am buying HP tuners and am thinking of descreening and porting the MAF...(and the TB too )
but what I need to know is how to recalibrate the MAF after I port and polish and descreen....

I don't think "porting" is such a good idea.

But, if I were going to do such a thing I would first get
a good set of logs that show MAF frequency, MAF g/sec,
MAP and RPM. From that you'd want to poly-fit the
(g/sec)/(MAP*RPM) function and the (RPM*MAP)/
MAF Hz functions and their inverses.

Then when you've gone and messed with the MAF you
can put it back on, repeat the logging exercise, and see
how the MAF frequency and flow results have stepped
off from the MAP*RPM (speed density) airflow. Get the
MAP*RPM to point at the new MAF frequency, and see
what it also points at for the old g/sec. There's your
new cal. Repeat for all of the steps in the MAF table
unless you can work out something slicker in Excel.
Like the inverse MAPRPM/Hz function would let you
make a vector of oldgsec(newMAPRPM(Hz)) points
if you could do the fitting. Or something.

Then again you might just get a Z06 MAF, which is
bigger than any ported F-body MAF will ever be, and
just use the straight table.

um..straigt table...meaning dont change the MAF table at all?? or plug in #'s from a ZO6 table???

Yep, just get someone to send you the Z06 MAF table...it's better than the F-Body's, but could still use some tweaking..especially with mods to the intake tract like lid, etc

It's calibrated for the flow of the Z06 intake tract...

Personally I prefer the 6.0 truck table, it puts things a little
richer and gave me pretty nice trims. I descreened a truck
MAF that I got for $40 or so, off eBay. Poor man's Z06.

Sweet! Thanks again Jimmy, I'll try that! TXHorns is supposed to help me with the tune this week, maybe I can find one for that by then...

I'm selling my 02 Sims for $50, that should cover it...
