Big fat thumbs up for the MAFT Ok, against Predators advice, I got a MAF Translator (v6.0) and installed it. Before the maft, my LTFTs were in the 11-12 area, and I got about 3-4 degrees of knock retard at higher RPMs (3500+).
Welp, after setting the thing to base 15% rich, and the WOT to 6% rich, I am not only getting my LTFTs to about -2, I have eliminated my KR. Too cool.
At highway crusing speeds, I was running at about 33 degrees of advance, and now its about 38-40. I was getting about 21 degrees of advance at WOT, and am now getting 27+. I can feel a seat-of-the-pants difference, as well as hear a better tone from the engine.
Hats of the the creators of the MAFT, great product, great price, great, great, great!

Re: Big fat thumbs up for the MAFT Good for you dude!
I was thinking that if you're anything like me, you'll end up getting editing software, so why not put that MAFT money towards it. My MAFT is sitting on a shelf. It's a good interim solution though.

Re: Big fat thumbs up for the MAFT I have stuff coming up thats gonna deplete my 'playtime cash' for quite a while, so this will tide me over. Plus I can sell the thing later on when I do get edit. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
BTW Preditor, I got my intake back on and the new knock sensors in. At the same time I swapped to TR55 plugs and Thundervolt wires, and popped in a Hypertech 160* stat.
Runs like butter! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: Big fat thumbs up for the MAFT Awesome! Great to hear it.
I have the same plugs and wires too, plus I have my fans coming on sooner.
In case you don't already know, be careful if you wash your engine. You don't want to spray water behind the intake soaking the knock sensors. That's how mine got messed up.
It sounds like the car's running great: timing's back, negative LTFTs. Good work dude!

Re: Big fat thumbs up for the MAFT What are your mods. I auto taped my car I got results very similar to yours, 16-23 timing, lean, .1-3.2 kr. I just got a translator too and was thinking if going 10% bas and 4% WOT. You went 15%base and 6% wot and you like it, maybe if I compare your mods to mine I can decide on how to set my MAFT
