things things they simply cannot do as well as a MAF system. If you have the
time and facilities for mapping and engine's air consumption, good for you.

OK, so the hot wire system seems to be the simple solution for measuring air
consumption by an engine.  If a person wanted to experiment with such a
device, could you recommend an OEM part to start with?   

Also, I have a table somewhere of various OEM injectors and their lbs./hour
ratings.  Is there a similar list somewhere of the various OEM hotwire MAFs
and their primary operating ranges?

If anyone wants to send me any information about OEM parts that might prove
useful to DIY-EFI people out there, (not just MAFs but things like inductive
pick-ups, driver circuits, injectors, throttle bodies, etc.)  I'll compile
them and post them back to the list for the convenience of the group.

Part numbers would be best but if you have just the applications, that might
also work. Be as specific as possible with the application information, you
know how parts guys are sticklers for specifics.
