The switch is usually done to go above the airflow limits of the vane air meter...to be properly done, you'll need an EEC-tuner and do a lot more research.
I'm looking at mass air myself, but will more likely use blow-through vane air...I'm expecting to get into the 350-400rwhp range with my Holset turbo and this should be beyond the range the VAM will support.

WOW WOW WOW...Ok slow down
How does this work ? I was wondering if Craig Gillis is running this set up also because if you look at his car hes got a MSD on it and I can't see either a VAM or MAF
Does MSD make a control box that is plug and play that you just buy and it takes place of the VAM/MAF
With my head swap and few mods I'm looking for around 250hp and will make do until I get my new turbo next year which I hope to get 350hp out of it. Will this MSD set up work on low power lvls like 250hp
I'll have some info on it once I complete the swap. You will need an EEC tuner to do it though. There is no "right" way to just plug it in and run it no matter what some companies may try to tell you.
The advantage isn't really all about HP...it's more about a more accurate way of measuring airflow and a less restrictive unit which does add some power.

I'll be going the other rout, no meter with an MSD, so both intake choices will eventually be posted. Problem is I don't know when I'll get to it. The car needs a rad, (afco) and I need to work on the rad support (rusty). The car goes to the body shop for paint as soon as that is complete and then I'll start working on the engine. I posted up some vids of startup in the SVO history thread.
I'm looking forward to reading your results Stinger. I may go MAF for the DD if the change over is simple enough. Can you PM me some info on that IC you're going to use in place of the volvo one. I've got two volvo IC's, but if I'd rather use an NPR or equatable alternative.

Thats cool, I will be waiting for both systems reports
Well here in the next few days I'm taking my SVO off line for a few months to get a few things done like my ported head, newer intakes, and LA3/35lbs. The first is my exhaust system and exspecialy that cracked E3 is killing me
