Awesome! Can you monitor the STFTs and LTFTs with your scanner? Do you have easy acces to make further changes to the MAF table?

Cheers,
I can watch both short and long term fuel trims. I can also have Jet adjust the MAF tables based on that if necessary. It helps to have a second Bonneville to drive while it'* reprogrammed.

All in the quest to prevent having to use an AFC Calibrator.

Keep in mind, that I also have a spare throttle body, and will have the hybrid Supercharger complete, so I can throw the stocker back on at any time. Hybrid will come into use with a 2.5" pulley, stocker will remain at 2.2". Hybrid may go smaller based on scan data.

Well then, since you do have access to changing the MAF tables, with carefull observation you can adjust the MAF table to near perfection. Since the MAF has much more granular adjustments than the AFC you'll have a much better tune all said and done.

Have a beer for your efforts

Cheers,

What about taking some material out of the MAF bracket? In the first picture it looks like there is still some stuff around the sides that could be deleted.

There'* a point in porting where the outlet of the TB and the inlet of the SC are the limiting factors. Taking more out of the TB MAF assembly would be pointless now. I've increased the flow capablility AND decreased turbulence.

I'm encouraged by your testing. You didn't seem to have problems with your porting. So this will answer the L67 question. She should be running (idling) on the evening of the 23rd.
