Default Maxing the MAF

what RPM are you guys maxing your mafs?

on autotap mine shows
rpm maf
4503 405.4
4792 439.9


i have a 98 so 439 is my max stock maf

does maxing the maf sooner in the rpm range mean you are making more power?

there arent any symtoms per say...but if you log MAF and RPM the value of the maf will climb as the rpm increases..and sooner or later it will max out.

98 cars max out at 439
99+ cars get 511

It actually has to do with the PCM MAF table, rather than the MAF.

A ported MAF will max out *slightly* later than a screened MAF, but not significantly (due to the different shape of the transfer function).

I'm curious too as I'm maxing my MAF (98 here too) and tuning after a new fuel system will include attempting to add the 99+ calibration into the PCM using LS1_Edit or HPTuner.

I like the powah too

the maf table in 98s or shorter I think so you just can't add the 99+ table. all you can do is max the maf and then add fuel in the pe vs rpm table.

a simple maf table won't fix the problem.

but it can be worked around

It has nothing to do with brand names..............it has to do with controls engineering.
