Speed Density to Mass Air power difference?

[bigyet12]

Is there any noticable power difference by converting sd to mass air? Will mass air alone gain you any extra hp's?

NOPE... In fact, in stock form an SD car will run faster than a MAF car.

If you add Bigger Heads, Intake, etc (save for the cam) the SD car will probably still run harder if you know what you are doing.

When you get into changing the cam, that is where mass airflow systems are better

Speed density is the *****.. You might loose some if you swap it.

thanks for the info...i am putting an e-303 into a rebuilt motor on an 88 lx...65mmtb also...so I am going to convert to mass air so the car will run right.

While you are doing the cam, are you putting some heads on there? Ported / GT-40's? What about an intake?

To take advantage of the E cam (or any cam for that matter) you will need Heads and Intake. They don't need to be the biggest parts, but they will really make your motor happier.

I am using stock heads, although I believe my mechanic ported them...stock intake.

 

[srothfuss]

If you are getting your heads ported your will be OK, but you still need to get your stock lower intake ported (the lower only)

You should read these....

There you will learn all about ported stock parts.


Edit: corrected spelling
