I was just curious my truck has been modded with stuff in Signature. I have a 76mm turbo kit 4" I/C. I have 80# INJ but plan to install 125# when my fueling upgrades are installed.

Is this to much for stock MAF should I get an upgraded one?

Or go SD Tune.

Now Im not a tuner so hit me slow with your responses please learning as I go.

 

Use a ls3/7 card style MAF, with the weld in flange... What size is your intake pipe?

 

I just picked up trick turbos 4" IC and cold side so no clue on size yet

 

I think he runs a 3.5" to the throttle body, not sure? But I would use the ls3/7 slot style MAF and weld in bung.... You have to switch a couple wires around, but I can tell you which ones. 3" charge pipe is good for around 10psi of boost with the ls3/7 MAF... With a 3.5" or 4" charge pipe you could run as much boost as you like before maxing the MAF range out

 

Thanks Jordan. I will go that route and pick your brain when time comes. Thanks again.

 

Is there anything that you have to change in the tune when upgrading to a card style maf? I am thinking I am going to do the same.

 

No problem man, anytime!

I'm sure there is something, but maybe not? I installed mine on the Tahoe and drove it around with no problems at all for two weeks, and then drove it to Lubbock to get it tuned. I'm sure Mitch at TES messed with a lot of stuff in the tune, including the MAF.... But you can install the ls3/7 card style MAF and drive off like nothing was changed.

 

I have a 2006 Silverado crewcab with a jet pro maf sensor,intake,80mm bank tb, and efi live tune my mass air flow kicks my check engine light on after I drive it for a few minutes is there a better sensor I can use or upgrade to I can't stand the engine light but I can tell a difference

 

If you have a 07 or 08 the swapping to a 09+ or car will work as the flanges are easier to come by

Make sure to place it in a 4" tube to give you plenty of range....Maf vs Maf theres no performance gains over another when referring to car or truck

 

Will going from the stock truck MAF to the card style need a retune? I'm tuned for my blower set up. I want to do this mod so I have full 4 inch intake but I don't want to mess with it if it affects the tune.
