Re: can i use an other MAF on TPI?

Its possible to use an LT1 MAF only if you have a frequency to voltage converter and recalibrate the prom for the new MAF.

The LT1 MAF has a ~2500-12000 Hz frequency based signal thats proportional to the airflow into the sensor.

The ECM (if its using the $6E cal.) can be made to read higher airflows above 255 g/sec as well, but this takes a little work: need to source the F/V converter and recalibrate and rescale all the MAF tables using the injector constant to "trick" the ECM into seeing more flow.
