It stops reading at 512 g/sec. for LS1's. I've heard that equates too 500 HP. Then it is no longer used for fueling.

I don't have a shop, I bought the software as an investment for another shop that went under. He lost the business, I got stuck with 9k worth of software.

So, just a question. How is Clint Tuning Chad's car then since it is at 640 hp? Chad has the stock GM MAF sensor. And I know Clint has tuned his car.

I don't. I have only tuned my car. I would hate to tune someones car, have it brake, and they blame me. So I have been trying to sell the cable for over a year. I work all week so I don't have alot of time to for tuning. But I have been thinking about starting.

They way to get the car to run when the MAF is maxed out is throught the PE table. Then you just add fuel based on rpm, it's not an exact sience but it works.

Edit: Also if you take away the 20% correction factor he is just over 500

I put a SDCE bracket on it. Which did nothing for increasing my boost. I had to get a new blower crank pulley because the bolts broke off the other one. I rebuilt the front calipers, I burned them up while tuning it. Stainless brake lines. New high flow hydraulic line for the clutch. I'm hoping for much better times this year, the clutch was killing me last year. As well as the dragging brakes.

Still useing the Spec stage 3, my issues were the restrictive lines. But, I think a new clutch is in the near future. Went for a test drive yesterday, and it seems to be slipping a bit.
