Default MAF on previous speed density cars?

http://www.vcm-suite.com.au/85mm_maf_upgrade.html

Found this link over the weekend, and found it interesting. Everybody on here is a huge fan of SD, but this was interesting.

Also, on NA cars whereby to achieve the absolute best power output in a daily driven application (not those vehicles restricted to strip work or are equipped with over-the-radiator cold air intake systems) the best approach had been to go Maf-less, the new VCM Suite Australasia 85mm Maf upgrade (includes all clamps, intake pipe, bung, custom patch harness and Maf meter) has proven to be just as effective.

Via several tests we established that the upgrade Maf kit is almost the equivalent of our best Maf-less tune. The result is a nice, smooth power delivery with no hiccups, excellent fuel consumption and none of the pitfalls associated with Maf-less tuning.

I don't see what the issue is. Some folks have issues tuning cars. MAF's can help crutch poor programming.

SD works very well in IR setups where you can't run a a MAF, it also works very well when you have a cam with overlap and reversion that causes low speed isssues with a MAF.

SD also works well when you have a F/I application where you may have boost (pressure in the intake tract, but not a lot of flow across the MAF, or the car on in PE mode (say part throttel), in a MAF setup, the car would go lean in SD it wouldn't.
