Question 110mm Maf

I have maxed me LS7 100mm Maf. Is anyone using 110mm maf or bigger to get more room in tuning on differnt psi setings?

Put it in a bigger tube and then redo the MAF curve.

What I was thinking of doing is to make one bigger tube with the Maf and the dual alki but shall I use 110mm or bigger?

So far maf have been working grate for me. I just put bigger turbo so I need more maf rum. It is easy to tune the maf.

And it's even easier to tune without a MAF, one less thing to worry about.

I say ditch that thing and go speed density.

If you can make the MAF work, there is no reason not to use it. When you do a MAP tune you are cooking in the VE into the surface. If something changes you could go richer or leaner at the same intake pressure. The same condition on a MAF tune and the A/F ratio is still spot on.

Can you explain the details of this scenario? I've never seen what you describe.

Richer: The air filter gets plugged up or the exhaust hangs low and gets smashed partially shut hitting a bump. The engine now flows less air than it used to. It will run richer than it did previously.

Leaner: Air filter falls off. You now have an extra 50hp of air in the system that you didn't previously on a 700 hp engine. You'll be that much lean.

I have done SD tunes and MAF. Currently I have a 4.5 inlet for a 2.9 KB, its a 115mm inlet. It will most definately stay under the 12,200Hz limit of my ECU, just have to scale the G/Cyl tables

This. If I remember correctly a slot MAF in a 4" tube will support ~1000hp of flow.

Variances in air/fuel would be small and insignificant in comparison to the problems you listed, and absolutely no issue on a well maintained vehicle.

You could also say, maf gets dirty and it runs a point leaner.

There are pro's and cons to both.

I changed cam timing on my turbo Audi a couple degrees. I had to retune half the map. Had it been a MAF tune, I wouldn't have had to do anything. Up to a certain point I would prefer a MAF tune. Once you start making really big power it doesn't make much sense though. There just gets to be too much math going on.

I think that the 100mm is running our around 750-800RWHP and if I will make new 115mm tube that should cower 950-1000 RWHP ? Any one using maf in the 900-1000 RWHP level ?
