Not a problem to the code.  It may be a problem to accurate fuel
delivery....
It will just go to 254 or so and stay there.  The MAF really can't
overload
the input.  The MAF input is just a 0 to 5V analog to digital
conversion.
I am guessing that a look at the spec sheet for the ADC used will tell
what 
it will do if you put over 5V on the input to that ADC.

Absolutely untrue for a stock MAF.  It will peg and stay there.  It WILL
NOT roll over to '00'.  The stock MAF is limited to about 144 Hz, as the
ECMs
MAF sampling rate is 160Hz. 

Now if someone ran a MAF at over 160 Hz, THAT might prove
interesting....  
I don't know what the C3 hardware does if it gets a higher frequency
than 
it's sample rate.  Never tried it.  That is something for those who make 
MAF "translators" to take a very careful look at.
