If you plan on running any kinda real boost you are going to max out the MAF anyway so you might have to go SD.

k i have a 7psi spring in my gate now. but when i got to increase the boost with my new motor setup does anyone make a good mass air or just go SD. what does it take to go SD besides the tuner pulling the mass air out of the comp.

It has a better range as do the LS7 maf's. I've heard of tuners scaling a MAF but I've never seen it done.

how high do you want to go? I run 8-10 on the street and 12-14 if I bump it up, and keep the same tune.
