help me understand calibrated maf sensors and injectors

I think the General was on to something for sure. Car ran out of fuel with the 331 on the dyno with the 42's and the tuner and I both were scratching our heads. He turned the pressure up from 39 psi to 46 psi and it "solved" the problem. Fast forward a few years I reworked the fuel system to an 6AN feed and return and had the injectors cleaned. I got the injectors from a buddy and they came off his 2001 Lighting. I just put them in the car and never thought about it. The guy that cleaned and flowed them said their average output before the cleaning was around 38 lb/hr and after it was 43 lb/hr. Also said the spray patterns sucked.

I also found an issue with the cold air kit which was my doing form years and years ago. I used a Procharger adapter to the 2000 GT MAF which necked down to about 2-1/2". It wasn't an issue with the 306 but the tuner was telling me I needed more air when the 331 was tuned. That is what got me looking so I got rid of everything except the part that bolts to the inner fender and the air filter mounts to. Its all 3-1/2" now and I transitioned the lip of the MAF to match the adapter that I bolted to it to reduce turbulence.

So there were issues from my ignorance that have since been corrected.
