What are people using to get above 58 lb/min? LS1 MAF Electronics with ported ends or an LS6 MAF and re-scaling the MAF tables??
Thanks.
Thanks.

nope , in the injector flow rate table just make the last number smaller to fool the pcm into thinking you have a smaller injector, thus opening it more ---> richnes <img border="0" alt="[angel]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_angel.gif" />

I know harlan was working on a maf that could in the higher ranges...any luck with that? Also...what about the PCM limit of 62lb? Is it possible to change that within the PCM programming? Or would you need to use a bigger maf and scale the maf curve back(or possibly in half).

Harlan using a 3.5" universal MAF cal'd to 12000hz or some crap. pretty sure they scale the MAF table back.

The LS1 MAF can be pushed to the 512 g/s limit. I ran mine up to the point where i was exceeding the 12kHz frequency limit in the MAF table. That's why I went to the bigger MAF.
I'm running a Univer-MAF from Pro-M with basically a voltage to frequency converter to feed it into the PCM. The Univer uses the standard Hitachi hot wire ford guts with the standard tweaks from Pro-M.
I had the curve fit on the MAF setup to max the ouput at 12kHz with a flow of just about 1200 g/s. I now operate in the 10 kHz range with a rescaled table.
Once you get to the point of rescaling the MAF table you have to rescale alot of other stuff to compesate. And, all of the load calculation as well as spark g/cyl axis stuff becomes half what it use to be.
Not an easy task, but do-able.
If you fatten the A/F up with the PE or injector tables you end up with an excessive A/F once the MAF maxes. And then a progressively leaner mixture from there out.
If you're only going over the limit by a little, it can be accepatble. But far beyond the 512 g/s barrier and the mixture control get's iffy.

Play nice guys <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
The GN crowd has been fighting the MAF problem for years. And just think, they were limited to 255 g/s. Lots of GN's going fast so it can't be that bad <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
