maft translator gen II and msd btm

[lifted]

i have been considering my options for engine managment for my upcoming na-t project. i was thinking the maft translator gen II, with a 3 inch gm maf and lm-1 wideband, and a msd btw for timing. would this be a good set up? what advantages would the maft pro give me over using the msd btm maft gen II combo?

as always, it totally depends on your goals. what turbo are you going to run? what's your goal power level? those answers should dictate which path you take...

i will be using the ct-26. my goal is more time than power. i want a run 13s

running for time brings up an entirely different discussion....will you running slicks? what differential ratio will you be running?

no slicks, i run eagle f1`s(275/40/18) and im about to put in a lsd i pulled from a 88 turbo.

if your ultimate goal is just a fast ET, you should run slicks and the highest ratio diff possible (w/o shifting to 5th)....so that would be the NA 4.30. with a good 60' (<1.8) you could easily run 13s (albeit high 13s...) all day long with 200whp.

back on topic, the MAFT pro adds the ability to go speed/density (i.e. no AFM) and boost control....not to mention data logging on a laptop. i don't know if the timing control (not released yet) will work on the GE, i'd have to look into that.
