ok i am a newbie to map what is the difference between my 89 maf 350 tpi and a 91 map (speed density) if tuned properly will there be any hp changes....will the engine run any better...i want a break down of everything... and i will be switching the car to a t-56 at the same time

please no use search quotes cause i have been for 3hrs

uhh ohhhh Not this topic again. This is like asking which came first the chiken or the egg. Go to DIY PROM and search because you won't get very far on this topic with out a argument. I know you didn't want to hear This But use Search more,

Yeah, search again, but limit it to the DIY Prom board.

We only say this because flame wars go started and there are many many posts about this.

When you are doing you searches try . . . "Why MAF is Better than MAP" or "Why does SD suck so much?"




Seriously though check out the majority of the posts made by Ski_Dwn_It - he had a MAF 406 SBC running 10s.
Good luck with your research!

jealous steve?
tell ya what... since you're a friend, i'll sell you my 91 SD harness and ECM for $400... of course if you sell your MAF harness, you'll get less, but hey, its a nice deal IMO.

SHOOSH!

My MAF works just FINE!
Someday I'll have the money to finish my 400 and then you'll see some MAF POWAH!!
:hail:

ok, until then, can i get you to stand behind my car at the dragstrip? i need to see how tweeked shes getting during the launch... you know.. because its running... and all..

My car runs!

And, yeah, I'll stand and watch the rear of your car . . . it's the only way I'll ever see the back-end of that thing at the strip!

BOOYAH!!

pushing it around doesnt count.

you dont have the new motor together yet and i know it.

besides, you look at my rear all the time.. (and that disturbs me)

True, the 400 isn't done but the 355 is still in there and it still runs great.

Took a co-worker out for a ride in the MAF IROC and had him giggling like an idiot at the top of 4th and screaming half-way thru 5th.

MAF is a wonderful thing.
As long as you can control spark and fuel nothing is impossible.

Chicken or the egg...

Yea, thats about it. SD is going to be easier to tune, although you can tune the MAF too you just have to think more I doubt you are going to see any significant power change between the 2 unless the MAF really is restricting your intake side. I think the runners and base on a TPI take care of restriction better than a MAF though.

I totally agree.
They just don't flow enough to create the power the majority of us are looking for.

So it's time to port the stocker. . . or buy a new intake tract system (SR, MR, HSR,) and port it.

By the time your MAF becomes a flow restriction you should be making MAD HP!

ah HA! so you admit its a restriction!


then again, you arnt making MAD HP, so you'll never have to worry about it....


btw, my happy HP is going to whoop your mildly upset HPs ***! w00t!

of course you could go to the almighty carb and a vortech SC oh yeah and the only good fuel injection I've seen is on a 69 Camaro owned by a cop named Mel down here in Colorado. W00t W00t

Oh yeah, instead of a SD vs MAF debate, let's turn it into a carb vs EFI debate. :P


12.5, SD, *and* 21.5 MPG. kthx

SD Vs MAF Vs Carb VS aftermarket ECMS...... ITS A FREE FOR ALL! LETS RUMBLE!

11.7, carb, *and* 5MPG. kthx



(carb is sooooooo not tuned. good at WOT though )

double post

can't forget Vs.supercharger Vs. turbo Vs. nitrous Vs. Chevy Vs. Dodge Vs. Ford Vs. V8 Vs. 4 cylinder Vs. 6 cylinder Vs. torque Vs. horsepower and so on.

pffft.

there isnt even a challange there. everyone knows that the horsepower 4 cylinder Dodge/Ford Hybrid car is better.

with or with out turbo/supercharger/nitrous/chrome valve cover?

Yeah it wasn't. :P I seem to recall seeing something about a Chevelle running 10's @ ~5 mpg.

hey me too but I decided that I didn't quite believe the time ( I believe the mileage) since its still isn't done and didn't want to get called out over something I don't quite know yet.

the BRIGHT RED VALVECOVER!

Type R! the red adds horsepower
