Just have your tuner reprogram your tune for speed density mode. Are you going over the limits of the MAF?

Speed Density is "an air metering device, in this case a manifold absolute pressure sensor is used whereas later cars used mass airflow". I'm not sure what all years and vehicles it came in but I do know they were in the 93 F-Bodies.

well unless you're maxing out the MAF I don't really see a need to go to speed density. I don't know the exact specs on your build, but I'd say with an Lt4 Hotcam you'll be just fine with a MAF.

I don't know if this is true or not but I heard the MAF can handle around 400hp. So if you are not at that hp yet, I wouldn't worry about it.

yes but why?

a stock MAF can handle much more than 400rwhp...the PCM would just need to be tuned.
