How much HP or cubic inch and MAF handle?
I was wondering if my stock(descreened/definned) MAF sensor is to small for my setup? Mods in sig

No. Stock MAF resolution is capped at 255 g/sec under transitional load, not at WOT....
.... and there's no way your hitting 255 g/sec at part throttle.

The stock MAS is limited to 255 g/sec in all situations not just part throttle. Scan the car at WOT and see if the MAS hits the 255 g/sec reading. If it does you can compensate in the chip to keep the airfuel ratio safe but it will not be perfect.
