Speed Density tuning?
What are your thoughts on speed density tuning. Getting my new motor tuned monday at G-Force. Will it gain me more power and driveability? Tell me your thoughts guys. Thanks!

I'd like to know this as well. I've heard everything from "its just as driveable as a MAF tune" to "you don't want SD unless its a track only car". Then I've heard everything from "you'll only gain about 5 hp" to "SD tuning is da bomb". I honestly don't know what to believe.
It does seem that the cars putting down the highest numbers are using SD.

I tuned my car both with MAF and SD no peak power difference at all. Drive-ability on the street SD was much better with my combo. In your case I would say that your best bet would to go with a SD tune for drive-ability purposes.

The question was would it HELP. not IS IT REQUIRED.
AS far as FI. Again, SD HELPS. BUT, again ITS NOT REQUIRED. What was everybody doing before the 2 bar craze? Skewin the MAF, and loadin up the PE.
And again ,I'll say, its not required. For most the diff would be nil.
And really, there was SD before MAF anyway. All the stand alones are SD.
Do you advocate MAF tuning solely?

You could just be fueling off the PE table at the max airflow your maf reads.
Show us the logs with nice airflow readings from the maf then we will believe you
Otherwise Id tend to agree your maf isnt doing the fueling anymore, you are running off other tables!
