full throttle gen II MAF translator [FOR LT1]
 
i am looking for some form of tuner that will allow me to adjust my air/fuel ratio.

from thunderracing.com

""This new version of the MAF Translator is a dramatic new upgrade from the regular unit. Borrowing technology from the Translator Pro, the Gen 2 now has the ability to adjust fuel + or - 60% in 1/2% steps across 14 RPM bands in 3 different load areas!

We have also added our "wideband tracking" technology to this unit. You can connect any populal wideband that has a 0-5 volt output on the controller and then you can set the desired A/F ratio across the RPM band at WOT. The Gen 2 will then track A/F and automatically adjust the fuel to keep the desired ratio. If the car leans out, the Gen 2 will add fuel and if the car runs rich it will remove fuel.""

this is an area that i need education on...

if i were to pickup a wideband O2 sensor and the MAF translator GEN 2, would i be able to adjust my AFR as stated on the site? how easy/difficult is it?

would there be any better alternatives for the money?

You can do a good maf tune with that but it is all you can do. No spark table adjustments, fan adjustments, rpm changes, and so on. I am not familiar with lt1 tuning software but I am sure it doesn't cost much more.

i realize that you can just dune the AFR with it, as far as the other adjustments, they arent necessary at this point. i will get a PCM tune by mail for all of that or maybe get some LT1 edit software.

Yeah but what you want is almost $300 and you still have to get the wideband. Then you have to pay again for all that other stuff. The software cost what?

please let me know what is the difference in the knock sensors? i have a 94 setup with a 95+up block that already had the sensor in it and never changed it. as far as the maf translator.i would not waste your money on that. get tunercats for less than 150 with cable and all and be able to do anything you want to to your tune..

he's got '96 in his sig OBD2
94 & 95 are the same 96 & 97 look the same but are not
cost twice as much.
