Default LT1 MAF - How much boost?

How much boost on a T76 turbocharged LT1 before the MAF would need to be switched to speed density? thanks.

Thanks for the info. All I need is a 2 or 3 bar MAP sensor correct? But where do I install it/how does it run/will it need a tune right away?

it replaces your stock MAP sensor and yes you will need a tune right away.

its actually a 355 t76, 60lb injectors. Yes, I know a tuner that can tune for me with tunercats but he is about 2 hours away.

do you have the software to do it yourself? if so and you have a wideband i can send you my file, im only running about 10psi currently on pump gas, but it would be a very good start. Took me a lot of work to get it so it has good cold start manners and idle, i am running 60# injectors at 48psi base pressure and its set a tad rich as of yet. I would buy the sensor and if you can load the file in and try it, only takes 5min to change it

I dont have the cable or software. I do have a wideband though. Right now I am running like 11:1 wide open.
