MAF -v- MAP

[Dave Williams]

-> and running. The first time you change anything (higher altitude, new
-> cam, wear n' tear), you'll have to reprogram if you went with MAP.
-> MAF will adapt rather well to most changes.

 True, but it doesn't seem to be *that* critical.  If I'm going to have
to go speed-density+O2 to calibrate the MAF, then I don't even need the
MAF, right?  And I don't have to worry about a big cam fooling the MAF
into thinking the engine is pulling more air than it is at idle; if I
have to fudge things to correct this, then I'm back to speed-density
again for all practical purposes.

 If someone can recommend a MAF that doesn't have to be calibrated
somehow I may reconsider.


-> Besides, MAP won't work at all if your setup doesn't develop any
-> vacuum, even at idle (which is where we're all heading).  :-)

 The cam's not *that* big... but it's big enough the O2 sensor ain't
gonna like the overlap, so I'll be running on a map at idle anyway.
