I want to use a credit card style LS3/7 MAF will this work well or is there something different.. I really dont want to run a full blown SD setup, cause I will travel with this car.

Trade the maf for some cash and go SD. It will run fine. 700rwhp is past the limit.

issue with SD is ill be driving this car from the mountains to the great plains a few times a year.. wont altitude kill a SD tune?

I think i want to go with a ls7 maf to tune with, and if its out of range under full boost wont the rest be like a SD tune anyways?

please correct me if im wrong just trying to understand more.

If you have a proper SD tune, you wont go lean when it gets colder or you go down in elevation. The computer has an IAT (intake air temp) multiplier to compensate. Also, your MAP sensor takes altitude out of the equation as its compensating for air pressure
