Fundamentally you can force the ECU to calculate volumetric efficiency(VE) rather than base its calculations on MAF G/sec. It isn't something you just slap on and requires alot of baseline tuning to get the VE table, which is a modified maf/AF table, to pin down the VE of the motor. Even the same motor in different states of repair will have a slightly different VE table.

It's not an intake. It wont bolt on and requires a fairly steep learning curve. The definitions are not available for all ROMS as of now. I think there may only be a few actually.

Contrary to some opinions, I don't know who exactly but I am sure some would argue the point, MAF is better for resolution and drivability by far. Running SD using VE is good but resolution of a MAF sensor is much greater than running based on MAP/IAT.

There are dozens of Evo's running 450+ HP on a stock MAF. How much do you honestly think you're going to be pushing that the MAF is going to be a problem?

^ Mellon is still on the stock MAF and he's in the 600awhp range. It's holding up fine to the flow of a 35R.

You could always use MAF Translator Pro.

You could use ecu+ for logging and the gm maf feature but still do your tuning threw the ecuflash.

But personally if I was looking to make 800hp I would go with a standalone.

Good luck.

700-800 hp i wouldnt even worry about driveability with a funny car

standalone will be fine with 800 hp.

i wouldnt wanna drive a 40r everyday anyway.
