Default 90mm LSX MAP numbers

With the stock intake my MAP numbers at WOT were always 99kpa. With the 90mm LSX and 90mm TB they are averaging 96kpa. Is it possible the MAF is not supporting the airflow? I guess it's possible the t.blade might not be fully open when it reads 100%? Also, the MAF lbs has increased from 42 to 47 lbs. Anyone seen this on their setup?

Right. Sounds like there's more air flow, but not enough to fill the manifold completely. I think. That's why I think the MAF is a culprit versus the blade not opening all the way.

Only explanation I can see. But an 11.9% increase on the MAF is fantastic.
100 mm MAF???

Honestly Joel, it's confusing to me. It seems that bigger engines and bigger mods than mine don't seem to report the MAF as a problem. The MAF lbs increase is great and could happen even if the blade doesn't open all the way. I will check to see if the blade is really opening all the way. It's the easy first step. It would be nice to hear if anyone has seen the same thing.

Good info, thanks.

"The stock meter is good to about 1300kg/hr or 406hp conservatively. You can always force more air but the pressure drop thru the unit becomes more significant and you would lose more hp. Our web site is www.pro-flow.com for more information."

Could be a reason for the kpa drop I'm seeing.
