    I'm at 5 GPH@100PSI (not boost! but 50% ethanol) and 5 PSI of boost.
    It goes from 12.5 to 12 AFR from 3500 rpm to redline.
    More mixture = lower AFR

    Is it necessary to zero the cracker table AND increase the enable speed?
    I "only " zeroed the cracker table and it's already better (my engine was hanging 1 sec while shifting).

    OK this works for SD tuning and for SD driving in general. In this case there will be a frequency to be used for torque calculation.
    But it also works if you disconnect the MAF: in this case how...

    Re: MAF tune changes shift?

    Messing with the MAF (for example to adjust LTFT) really changes the trans behavour (line pressure).
    I didn't like it because it makes impossible to fine adjust shift pressure.

    Re: BOOST Tuning

    As long you have the stock MAP sensor the VE table will have to remain the same: the boost range is outsite of the stock VE table.

    Maybe if it's that way from the factory it will be calibrated correctly.
    Good point.

    I love my MAF :-*

    MAF is an improvement, not a regress.
    It measures what really goes in to the engine, no matter if you have ported heads, cam blower or whatever.
    It's pretty accurate from idle...

    True, the bypass is a grate thing but when not under boost the air mostly recirculates and gets really hot. Also the piping and the blower, and when you mash on it it takes a moment to cool.

    Many setups (like Vortech) measure the air before the blower, the unused air is recirculated so that the MAF will measure the real air quantity.
