Using MAF Translator with SAFC 2

[Lithium]

Is that the only reason? To run open atmosphere? Or is it good for running larger injectors too?

I don't have any experince running anything larger than 600cc with this setup but I'm sure you could run larger. The nicest thing I've noticed is my car runs much better with the MAFT and SAFC 2 with the 600cc Injectors then just the SAFC 2 alone. I would tread lightly if you're planning to use larger injectors with this setup. They are both basically fooling the ecu by the same means, and some what scary if you think about it.

i surprised the maft and the safc dont "argue" with eachother and screw it all up. i guess i dont know anything though lol

my spool time also got better when i went blow thru. there are other advantages like if you blow an intercooler pipe you can still drive, and your tune will be more consistent because the maf will be right before the throttle body (after the turbos) instead of the very beginning (before the turbos). ON TOP OF THAT the popular GM maf is a true mass air flow sensor whereas our stock mas's are volume air flow sensors... so there are quite a few reasons to switch. besides the money there is really no downfall.

and using the maft with the safcII is probably the "easiest" but thats a relative term. the maft pro is a great tuning device though, i dont know anything about the genII.

Which would you suggest:

Original MAFT with SAFC II

or

MAFT Gen II --- also, would I need to use a SAFC II with the Gen II and does the MAFT Gen II come with its own built in Boost Controller?

Just use the 2G DSM MAFT and an Apexi SAFC 2. If you wanted to control boost then you would need to buy the MAFT PRO, But if you're going to buy the pro you dont even need the SAFC.

Does the MAFT PRO have 2 maps, and let you do the 2 step?

[Lithium]

^ I dont see why it wouldnt but you could call and ask.

so let me see if i understand correctly:

maf sensor by filter = draw through.

maf sensor by throttle body = blow through.

is that correct?

should i ditch the safc2 and get a maft-pro; or should i keep it and the safc2 & stick with my MBC?

(looking to run 680cc injectors, 16g's and 3.5L)

Blow through = maf reading sfter turbos.

Draw through = maf reading before turbos.

I would keep the SAFC and just use the MAFT to compensate for your injector size. Use the SAFC for all the fine tuning. If you havent setup a MAFT before then you wouldnt know about the built in injector compensation carts.

sounds like i need blow-through and a maft. (i know jack-squat about tuning, injector-size signals, etc).

since i won't be getting the pro, what should i use for boost control?
