4.6L Ford MAF was Re: Heat crazed mad scientist

[Mike Rolica]

Less we forget theier is resolution lost.... I'm looking at seeing if a ford
maf will work with a gm or even the ford ecm and sensor.. since the eec is
an intel based processor it is easier to prog.

		Whoa, whoa, whoa Mike....what are you saying??

		What ever happened to the load calculation in the computer?
I've read some
		of your articles in the past regarding how the computer
computes the
		engine's load from the mass air meter. By changing the
meter's output scale,
		you're effectively changing the resulting load calculation.
This in turn
		would throw off the spark tables. Doesn't this still apply?
