Can TPIS's new modified MAF support 400hp?

On their website, they have pt#300-144, which is a new MAF that has been modified to flow from stock 529cfm to 750cfm. Can this support a 400hp 6000rpm engine?

Can it flow enough air to support 400 HP? Yes. Can the sensor read that much airflow without getting "saturated" to the point it simply doesn't have any range left in it's electrical output to describe airflows beyond a certian point? Better ask TPIS.

And even if the sensor can read that much air mass, the ECM can only interpret the first 255g/S of flow, so the rest doesn't matter. If you can boost the fuel flow in WOT, it would be worthwhile to saturate the ECM input and hang the injectors out for all they're worth. As long as teh ECM sees a near-maximum air mass at WOT, you'll get maximum injector pulse rates to make power.
