I agree with quik, throw the maf away and get a speed density tune. If you plan on the turbo, why waste the money finding a bigger maf? Turbos require an SD tune. SD tunes on non turbo/sc vehicles is an option that some prefer due to possible restrictions by the maf.

IIRC, Flaco does tons of MAF tunes on turbo trucks using a card type sensor. Mine is done SD but thats just how my tuner prefers to handle the tune.

dont forget that no matter what maf you have on a GMT800 truck the PCM is hard data at a set value. nothing is gained past that point then you use a half breed tune of maf/sd
on the GMT900 trucks its totally different
2002 Lightning - GT headed 5.5Litre w/ Twin 7665s
2002 Silverado - 427Lsx w/ Twin gt4202s
2010 Silverado crewcab Z71 - 5.3litre w/ procharger
2000 Wrangler - 5.3litre with some stance
2014 Xsport- 3.5 Eco boost
412 Motorsports
it ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em..That's the difference
Can you explain the differences and how it works? I understand that the OS on the GMT900 is 3bar capable from what I've read. I also hear the MAF is good to much higher levels than the GMT800 one. In your opinion, what would be the best way to tune a NNBS turbo truck? I know Greg is full on SD, but I've read about a lot of the Vette and Camaro guys using the MAF.Originally Posted by Quik

Can you elaborate further on this method, never heard about it?

Maybe Flaco will see this thread and reply. He has all the details on what and how he does it. He has some of the fastest trucks in the south so I can definitely trust his opinion. I believe he puts a C6 Corvette card type MAF sensor in a 4" tube and tunes it.

Greg, I emailed Flaco about it and this was his reply
"I use the cobalt map sensor. And the stock maff. We made 1001rwhp on one of my customers 370 with a stock intake and maff."
I seem to remember this build being posted on this site at some point.

Really? Maybe he has changed his method. I too emailed him a while back and his response was to use the card type MAF sensor. I guess we all evolve as we learn life's lessons. When did you email him, mine was after I installed the STS kit and needed help with getting the tune right.

I emailed him after I spoke with you via email. I asked if he was using the LS7 style MAF like others had and he said stock, so ....

Cool, I'd like to know what OS he's got a 2.5 bar tune for. I'd really like to be able to tune for 20+ PSI.
