Ive got a decent sticky on high hp MAFs too, see sig. I agree with you too about what can and cant be done. I find it interesting how tastes vary as well. Some people are into max effort and ET and some are into going the fastest with the least mods. I'm into driveability and full weight pump gas high hp setups. We don't run record times, but our stuff literally drives like a factory car, even with 5/6/700 hp and NEVER breaks down. Spark plugs and oil changes are our only maintenance stuff. Different strokes for different folks and as long as it means people are enthusiastic about cars and keep the interest live, I'm good with it.

I build like you do, I build drivers that go fast and stay together, not headaches.

By the way you don't have a sig man.

And by the way, I just noticed this 10 year member thing under our screen names, when did that pop up?

You DO have my sympathy! Here it's around 100, but humidity is around 20%, so it's relatively dry. Hang in there, man!

Not at the moment, it's coming with a turbo so I'll probably try it out and see how it works on the setup. Thanks for the heads up though.
