AFC'* are tuning AIDS, in order to determine proper pcm tuning. They are not a performance or long-term solution to tuning.
They have a reputation of being unreliable, and they cannot replace a proper PCM tune. They adjust by 'linear step' function. If they fail, you don't know it, and you could pay a price.
We have a member here who is on his 2nd or third AFC, and just ditched it for these very reasons.

Then again, if the OP knows someone who can program his hybrid OBD "1.5" PCM, he may not need a MAF translator anyway to use a bigger TB.

The C-body is longer and heavier. Not much heavier, but heavier than the lightest chassis in a bonneville, which is 95. This causes weight transfer issues in the C body, not to mention the fact that an Olds 98 will not have a PCM like the unrestricted 1995 L36 PCM.
Totally different animal because of these differences. The challenge to hit those numbers for him are greater.

Well i was arguing that it would be harder to hit it in a C-Body. You stated "to hit that in a bonneville". I was commenting on that. I know it will be harder for him. The problem around here lately is everyone is talking about modding and no one is modding (well a group of us are). The L36'* respond nice to mods. Go ahead and mod the car. Even with the list of mods that were listed you will have a much more enjoyable ride (even if you dont hit those numbers). And that is exactly what they are just numbers. I know that my setup was very fun(for a low budget L36 build) and i think you would enjoy a setup just like it Eric
