I believe the only thing the pcm reads form the maf is teh hrz reading. I don't think the lbs/min matters. Where are you getting lbs/min anyways? I have never seen that on a maf before.

Ok so your tuner shows the MAF as lbs/min. The pt shows it in g/sec. Just like HPT IFR is lbs/hour, and pt is m Sec/gram.

I would love to help you change it but I know nothing about HPT.

Then why didn't just say that in the first place? Any idea how much one mod affects another's effectiveness?

I haven't dyno-ed my car, but I have gone to a 1/8 track.

This is with MSD coils and wires, headers, exhaust, and the intake.

Probably because of how you acted and called him a noob.
