I must be so happy today and on cloud 9 because of my bearing clearances and Ive checked em twice and plastigauged them and all 100% the same measurments and PERFECT like .0035 perfect (and thats what I wanted) and all so close I was scared and checked em again.
I didnt pay attention, well I read it but it didnt "compute" that you were using the stock ECU, makes a world of difference .....
Derrrrrhuuhhh......
Sorry didnt read the MAF either read it as MAP ?
Deerrrrrhhhhhhuuhhhhh.....
I get it good point, it seemed like an awful long extra way to go on an aftermarket ECU......
But your not and I see every one of your points 100%.......Now......see good for me to ask than be confused....

I do lean on guys like Mr. Ed Wright with Fastchips and Geoff Skinner with Engine Power Systems alot when it comes to using stock ECMs. Mr. Wright did my first tunes on my computer by mail order and Geoff was able to sell me the ability to do my own programs so I could make moves at the track. When it comes to engines that at their max RPM could never outflow a MAF why not at least try. With the factory cold air intake and ducting a MAF shouldn't hurt, but how will you know unless you try. Now I have never ran any programs but MAF; however I could pull my race motor and install a 4.3 bone stock from the factory and it will not only run well but great(as for a stock engine). The MAF is the answer. If you have most of the maps built to use Air/Fuel ratio via the MAF and calculated flow of the injectors & temp, what is behind it shouldn't matter much. You can set up a MAF program and use that to build AN or SD program by datalogging your sensor reading in running situations. Now I may be oversimplifying this but that is my thought process.
P.S.I can't spell worth a crap and I don't have spellcheck so forgive any misspelled words.
