FW: MAF Upgrad

[lkurek at smtpgate.anl.gov]

     Well....
     
     Two things. First, they do have such a box. I know S&P has an 
     "integrator" box for $395 which replaces your MAF and pre-90 computer 
     with a MAP and 90+ box using your existing wiring. Second, the whole 
     point of me asking about this in the first place was that the MAF 
     controlled system is MUCH more accurate and flexible than a speed 
     density system. However, the MAF on pre-90 GM's is quite restrictive, 
     being only 3" in diameter. I WANT to use a MAF, but I want to be able 
     to flow enough air for a 400+ hp engine...
     
     TTYL!

My .02 why not just come up with a MAP sensor to MAF output, 
converter.   This would be basically a simple voltage to freguency 
converter.  I've heard of this device, and it sounds simple, but 
it's beyond my skills.  Have the device look at air temp, engine 
vacuum, and rpm..  For the price of a replacement MAF this
would be a great idea in my book, but hey what do I know. 
With a little (OK maybe alot), it could be programmable or 
have an adjustment knob for setting max flow displays to 
match max air flow usage of the engine.  So no resolution 
would be lost.
