im wondering the same thing, did they have a piece of pipe in place of the mass air meter

it was basically a bellows that ran from the t.b to the lid. it looks cleaner imo also

as safe as the tune is

as good as the tune performed on them

pros
get to loose your maf
possibly better drivability
possibly more accurate fueling

cons
you have to loose the maf & its ability to compensate for smaller mods
would need to keep an eye on the tune more often
tuning would be necessary basically after each mod no matter how small

stick with the MAF ...unless you are pushing 600+HP you won't notice a difference

STICK with the MAF...get someone to dial it in OR simply if you have high LTFT's get someone or do it yourself and simply raise the values in the MAF frequency table..

if you want help PM me... see my sig.. thats bolt ons only.. no heads cam and MAf tune



the only real difference you will *possibly* notice will be immediate throttle response w/o the MAF...which when it comes down to it doesn't really matter that much

Stick with the MAF.
SD is only for the cool people.
Somewhere on the inter-web it says they aren't safe.


It really all depends on what you want your car to do. If it's meeting all of your expectations running the MAF then no reason to change it.
If you're an extreme perfectionist, then having an OLSD tune is probably in your future though.

Even if you stick with the MAF, definitely tune your VE table (using SD tuning) then recalibrate your MAF.

My butt o meter tells me I gained a lot of power down low from tuning my VE table.

To tune, see the sticky at the top.
