When we get our cars tuned on speed density, It just uses those values instead of the MAF, so we can just get rid of it all together... pluss some fine tuning to the numbers aswell. It's really useful for tuning big cams and making them idle.

To answer your question would be yes, it's only one SD tune and you're done.

Someone correct me if i'm wrong?
Close, but not quite. If you simply unplug the MAF the car reverts to limp mode. It recognizes something unplugged and then basically stutters, stalls, etc.

To get into SD mode you reset your closed loop values to engage at 252 degrees for your ECT. Then disable the maf fail codes and work from there. Speed Density uses the MAP, IAT, and 02's. Tune it once spot on and go.

Can you have a speedy density tune and run race gas? I've read that with race gas, you give up O2 sensors. This may be completely false, so that's why I'm asking.

And...

i cant sorry
I have almost the exact same setup, and have been running SD for a while and have a lot of great information I could provide, but I won't becuase my tuner has asked me not to. This site is great! - everyone sharing information to help each other!!!

You want your question answered, but won't answer a simple question from anybody else - good luck.

It's pretty riciculous to not share what works and doesn't work.
I think I'll stay but thank you for your precious advice. I paid for a custom cam design by Bret Bauer. His stipulation was that I not disclose the specs. I'm respecting that.

If that upsets you, go pound sand.

hold on, im not the only person on this site with custom cam that isnt allowed to share the specs. so dont try and single me out *******. WKMCD has a custom cam and isnt allowd to share it either. and knowing ppls cam specs all the time isnt that big of a deal, unless your trouble shooting that persons car. thats not hte case here, i asked for an opinion on SD or not to SD.

Non supporting vendor so mods will remove a direct link.

So, Google ->
Lingenfelter 100 mm Mass Airflow Sensor
and it will be there.


Here's a thread on the Lingenfelter 100 mm MAF:

https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...1&page=1&pp=20

This is a related thread posted by Black02SS- the restriction of the 78 mm MAF ...the 78 mm is the restriction ...not the MAF.

That's right, so why waste another few hundred bucks when you could just go SD and be done with it?

Dragaholic: You can run a Wideband 02 setup with leaded gas, you'll just end up fouling out the WB 02 sensor a lot more. So essentially you could just get the tune spot on and then not worry about it unless you are logging at the track constantly. SD open loop doesn't change values, only closed loop does. So once the tune is nailed it will be spot on.

And for all the people who keep crying about releasing his cam specs, STFU and go play on clubrsx. Do you honestly think you should be able to just give information to everyone and anyone without paying for it? Do you think multi-billion dollar companies bring in people who charge no fee to streamline their business operations and cut costs? And do you think GM and Dodge call each other for technical advice around problems for free? NO!

I believe they make unleaded race gas. I think thats what they have at the track. I wana run higher octane for more compression, because its free power. As long as I stay away from leaded gas, no matter how high the octane, I should be fine right?
