Hi Jesse,

I attempted something very similar with my '88 Toyota Celica All-Trac Turbo. 
  While I was completing my BSEE at the U of Wash, I took a senior quarter 
project for converting the Air Flow Meter on my car to a Mass Air Flow meter 
from a Taurus.  I attempted to use a PIC micro-controller (with flash) and 
some extenal chips (memory, ADC, DAC, etc) but I never got it to work.  I 
basically ran out of time (10 week project with 5 week parts delays).

I found it a very complicated problem of converting the signals.  You may be 
in better luck as the KV sensor outputs digital pulses which will be easier 
to generate.  BTW, I think Split Second has a KV to MAF converter as well 
called the ARC2 (www.splitsec.com).

Good luck with your project and feel free to email me directly if you have 
any questions.

-Rob
