Hi everyone,
I've run into the predicament/opportunity of purchasing a car that has had some work done to it (see sig), and currently runs on a 20-25psi TurboTweak 5.7 chip burnt for 91 octane and Alky., but maintains the factory MAF sensor. If my guessing is correct, I could make a little more power by purchasing an LS1 MAF and and a MAF translator, and it would be fine, but that seems like the easy route. My other option is to bypass the MAF all together, get rid of the 5.7 chip, and go right to the SD2, MAP, and PowerLogger.
There will most likely be a learning curve with this, but I don't want to make my decisions based off of convenience alone and have 6 months go by and be pushed into doing what I should have done the first time around.
What do you all recommend?
The car made a little over 450whp at 22psi as it is right now and that was with a blown plenum gasket. How much power could I really gain with the LS1 MAF and translator too?
