Yeah man stay with the MAF, if you are staying N/A it is much easier to tune. Get that VE dialed in as close as you can then go back and do the MAF. It's much easier to tune that way. Have you bought a wideband yet or are you still tuning with trims? As long as you tune the VE right the MAF will be super easy to dial in and will yield the same power gains after tuning.

Can you tell me what the IAT sensor does?

He was talking about VE, but even with speed density, if you have a good enough tune you wont have to tune it for weather changes. In trucks, the IAT is in the MAF and it measure the intake temps for SD fueling calculations.
Also, MAF is a blend with VE off idle all the way to 4000, not just 3k up. Any transition state till 4k rpms is blended.

Ok I am going to stay with the maf Chris. Yes I am dialing in the Ve the narrow band way. Until my Wideband gets here after Christmas. You mentioned dialing in the MaF after I finsh with the VE table, what do you mean or where can I find out how to do it?

displacement and VE determines effective volume
MAP, Temp and gas constant for air determine density
airmass is effective volume times density
airflow is airmass times RPM
so MAP and Temp affect density, accounting for weather/altitude/pressure changes.
VE is displacement and conditions independent, so you dont have to retune it for weather.

Chill dude, its christmas.
Im not sure how I miss quoted you considering I used in the inline quote feature to quote your exact words.
g/cyl = VE*MAP/charge temperature
Thats the calc the pcm uses to figure out air and from that the commanded fuel to use.
As you can see Temp and Pressure are in there. So open your mind and realize every day is a learning day.
Seeing as you have read my blog page, Im sure you have read that Im learning all the time too. Hell reading Marcin's pages (RedHardSupra) you will see he is too. Thats why we use this forum.
The fueling changes you speak of for temperature variations are determined by the "Charge Temperature Blending" Table in efilive, B4901 This table has nothing to do with MAF and SD, but is solely related to ECT and IAT, as seen above its part of the g/cyl formula.

My point exactly why taking the MAF out of the equation leaves you 100% with the fueling you programmed into the VE table. And for the street--that sucks.

Also a FYI, gametech is a developer from HPTuners so I think he has a fair idea what he is talking about.
