enlarged photo shos proto-type production is done and half the size. displays realtime HP figures in realtime based on airflow through meter.
for more info start asking question and or call us. Just ask for me

The Only 50 State Legal "Truly Calibrated" Mass Airflow Sensor. Cutting edge technology. Now we have Suspension and 200mph Gauge Faces.
We have a meter for the early model
part Number 350100 is Meter for 85-89 TPI as for HP meter it can be made to adapt over - we will have a direct fit in 4 months for early model cars
As for testing - ya - it has been tested and accurate to within 4 hp.
This device will do everything a MAF translator will do and more. Plus it shows true HP at all times. It does not rely on inertia is function off airflow. Also it mounts in the car so reading HP is simple plus calibrating your idle as well as air fuel ratio is a snap

Why do you want this? With the ability to program the chip so easily...and a cheap WBO2 sensor for actual A/F ratio...along with Moates software, the adjustable MAF sensor is a band-aid...
This is especially true given the hardware limitation of 255 gm/sec in the programming...
JMHO,

Regardless of which everyone else thinks is better, I'd buy one...if it does ever hit the market.

The computer programable MAF is $300, $275 for the POTS adjustable one... I burn chips for less than $200 for everything. What will I do with my extra C-note?:lala:
Where's the advantage?

In its simplest form programming a chip is ...
1) Load a Binary chip file in a program like TunerCat or TunerPro and make the necessary changes. Exit the program.
2) Load the programmer's software and load the new BIN.
3) Put a blank chip on the burner and program it.
4) Swap chips
Wow. Rocket science. It really isn't hard to program a new chip for your car.
Fact is - any MAF translator for a thirdgen MAF car is basically a total piece of chit. Piece of chit - there, I said it again. Why? Because any reasonably modded thirdgen can't benefit from it. Those guys with reasonably modded MAF cars tweak the power enrichment tables to make WOT changes. Guess what? The MAF translator won't do squat in that arena. The only thing that it will allow you to do is to register up to 255g/s at any airflow level. Wow. Big freaking deal. Any thirdgen that maxes the MAF will not benefit from this device at all except for those points lower in the RPM range where the MAF won't be maxed out.

I dont agree that being able to use a MAF that will accurately read more than 255 gm/s is of no use. Everyone is still in the dark about how to get around the 'problem' (well... not everyone), so they say that its useless. I guess if you think that 255 gm/s is a limit cast in stone, you'd think so. Nothing is cast in stone, especially when it comes to something that is programmed what to think.

True, but if you are talking about changing ecm tables, then we arent talking about stock code... and at that point, there is no more problem with the ecm only understanding 255 gm/s if you want to spend a little time on it. And no, has NOTHING to do with rescaling.

I firmly believe that turning a few screws on an adjustable MAF is a band-aid...and won't be even close to a real solution to the issue...
The adjustable MAF seems simple, but in reality, tuning is more than the MAF, it includes the spark and/ or fuel tables as well...If the stock bins were perfect in these areas, maybe I would buy the MAF translator...but the stock bins ARE NOT optimized...especially for any combo other than bone stock.
Learning about chip burning is analagous to school...the more education I have had, the more I realize that why I don't know a lot (I have a 4 year BS in Finance)...and when you start learning about prom tuning, the answer to your own questions about "why not just use the adjustable MAF" will be answered...
Good luck...

I do not use it for fuel though. I just use the MAF data to compare calcualted (SD) and measured (MAF) airflow. Sort of my own full time OBDII comparison. Also use it to calculate VE. VE table values and calculated VE values can be recorded and compared after a run. Combined with calcuated AFR and WB AFR comparisons, it makes tuning fascinating.
