Stick with MAF or Map

[TheNewRed]

So since i got my new car, which is bone stock, i have been debating on which setup will be the best to use. This is the plan, im going to pull the head and throw a new toyota HG on, with ARP studs, a 57 trim from DM, full exhaust, an aluminum front mount, a walbro and regulator, and possibly the new Lipp intake mani.

I kept my AEM from the last car and i plan on using it with my DH61 ignitor, so the real question is, which way do you guys think will yeild the best balance of tuneability, power, reliability, and efficency; Map or MAF?

Thanks in advance guys!

MAP, imho, for a pressurized engine.

MAF for N/A.

MAF is technically more accurate as it doesn't rely on a VE table to calculate airflow., MAP seems to be the chosen path of most, but i think its also because finding a MAF that wont restrict the intake can be harder to come by/expensive.

Though with modern computer systems i think difference between the two is minimal.

Its whatever you feel like doing and can make work.

Yeah but like you said, it'll be hard to find one that dosent cause a big restriction.

I here you on that, i think the map will be a bit easier to deal with on the AEM to.

Any maf that fits any 6+ liters of engine will work quite well.

Yep, if you wanted to run MAF you could go with a larger 3.5"+ GM MAF.

i think im going to use the AEM map sensor, i was just looking at the software, and it looks a little easier with a MAP setup.

IIRC they make a 4" gm style hotwire MAF, just throwing it out there.
