Question Speed Density vs Mass Air Flow

question copied straight from my post i edited from a thread in this section

although this is off topic, i have a ?.....what (if any) are the advantages of speed density...everything ive read sounds like its way inferior to a mass air flow set up therefore, whoever stated speed density cars would be very desirable in the future, why would a speed density car cough (my 93 hawk) be more desirable than say a 94 hawk (or newer) with the same miles, same condition, same options, which we know has mass air flow?

Speed density is not limited by the MAF like mass air cars are. That is the main reason most people switch over to SD tunes.

Mass air cars can tune more on their own for mods than speed density can. Performance changes to a SD car require more tune changes as the sytem is not as able to compensate for the changes as what mass can do on its own.
