By increasing the size of the maf it takes more air to make it reach its max (5v)...so if a stock maf maxes out at around 250hp, wouldn't a hacked maf, being 27% larger be able to handle 27% more hp, 320hp? If so then there's another use for the hacked maf, (ie. not needing to replace it with a z32 maf) Of course to reach its limit you'd need larger injectors and a AFC to compensate but this could still be benifical to some.

As usual, my ideas are flawed so feel free to comment or correct my theory.

Nope...

It's not a proportional increase like that...the cross sectional area is increased by 27%...that ups the metering capability, but not by nearly that much.

Mines maxes out at 5.11 volts at 9psi from a T3/T04E...about 255rwhp.

I was maxing the stock S14 MAF at ~7-7.5psi when I had the JWT ECU, and that was just shy of 240rwhp.

So if anything, it'll get you to the ABSOLUTE max of 370s, like my setup - Overun 370s at 54psi base fuel pressure, 9psi, and about 255rwhp.

(All numbers gained from using a Techtom CMX-100)

Oh, well that sucks...might have to consider a Z32 maf...would a safc be able to handle the Z32 Maf and 440 dsm injectors i wonder?
