and various supporting mods
What do you guys think?

I would probably do speed density just because it would be easier........ I'm lazy that way. It would probably run fine through the maf though. Curious to see what Frost has to say.

It always depends on the setup, but sounds very likely to be a good SD candidate...

You can prob pick up some power goin SD.... but no need in an allmotor car with a mild set up like that.

me too.....mines going back to speed density this spring. I ran SD year before last and ran the maf last year. I preferred how it ran without the maf. It just makes the light cruising and idle areas easier to nail down IMO. I'm no expert by any means....just what I experienced with my car.

SD vs MAF
So what exactly does the SD do differently than the MAF?

hmmmm.... Interesting. I really want to know more about SD tuning. Still possible with HPtuners?

I Just had the SD tune done on mine today and it was done with the HPTuner. So yes that is possible. I just wanna know the difference in the tunes and why 1 is better than the other?

well if you or someone you know doesnt have a HP Tuner you wont be able to disable the MAF. When they disable the Maf they will reset your tables to compensate for the MAF being gone. I am really satisfied with my SD tune. The car seems so much more responsive now. Once the Maf is disabled you can just take it out of the car and run a solid hose or tube from the Airfilter to your Intake.

Kewl then your a step ahead of me. I cant tell you exactly what to do once you disable the MAF because I didnt program mine. I had it done by 1 of the racers here localy but I am sure someone here can tell you what to change in your tables to compensate for it.

I have a tuner here tell me that he feels safer with SD over MAF and that he runs it in his own car. I understand how it works slightly but to me fundamentaly it still doesn't make sense how only using one tool could ever be safer then using two?
I mean isn't it easier to lean out a tune when only using one sensor rather then two?
maybe I'm oversimplifying... thanks for the help.

i have a good situation for you. with the MAF hooked up the computer will take all of its fueling comands for the MAF, unless it is overwhelmingly off the charts.
i had an intake tube leak after the MAF, before the TB, it kept seeing the amount of air coming in through the MAF ad sent my A/F ratio to almost 20:1.
sealed the leak and it dropped back to 14.8:1

So your saying with the SD tune you wont have that problem. Becase the comp is not reading what the MAF is sensing?

basicly just unplug your MAF andyou will be automaticly set into SD mode and your fueling will be determined by a preset table (VE table) based off of your MAP and TPS.
but you are going to be running in SD, you have to fine tune your VE table which in stock programing is just close but needs lots of improvement.
that is were you open up hptuners scanner, datalog, tune and repeat sevearl times till you get the base programing nailed down
