How much power...

How much power will the mass air TPI support? Is there a limit to power until the mass air meter is either restrictive or cannot measure airflow efficently?

Re: How much power...

The MAS is not a serious restriction to power (once you gut it) until the engine reachs around 550 HP. The sensor itself can no longer monitor airflow changes (it is maxed out at 255g/s) once you reach approximately 450 HP, you can still tune the system to operate at more then 450 HP but is will not be able to sense minor changes in the atmosphere and make the necessary changes.

Excellent reply. Thank you very much. Nice times by the way. I just bolted on a set of AFR's. Hoping for the 12's as well.
