Upgraded to new LS1/Translator(regular) from the stock MAF. Used the same 3in pipe and 9in cone filter and just fitted it with couplers. Left dial settings at 0 and set the switches per the instructions.
Wideband at WOT was about 11.0 before the swap and increased to about 11.7 after. Boost level was about the same at 23lbs. Was getting a little knock so I ended up having to add about 6% fuel to get the A/F back down to 11.0.
I know the TA49 doesn't have to work as hard now and that there is probably less back pressure, but I was surprised I had to add that much fuel. Is that normal? How is it getting more air at the same boost level? Is it just cooler air now? (Just trying to learn something)
Car seemed to run perfectly with the old MAF and the logger files were showing it maxed out at WOT like it should. Runs perfect with the new one as well and seems a little faster on the butt dino, but haven't been to the track yet this year.
Thanks guys.
