So with no MAF your car has better performance?
So only your ECU doesn't go into limp mode when it has no MAF?
So only your car is able to perform better when the ECU has no emeasurement of incomeing air?
And you wonder why people doubt what you say?

Yeah Sleeperz now that you put it that way, no wonder indeed  I am wondering if maybe I have been running lean with both the zetec MAF and duratec MAF and now its faster because it is in limp mode and its finally rich enough. Any way I read the plugs tonight and they look good not too rich or lean. I need another MAF too and have been wondering if there is any other way to calbrate them for the correct amount of air without a chip?

I had a SAFC on my turbo neon, very nice, but $$$$ That would probably do the trick.

ok I know that my old neon is in the same town that I live in as I have seen it before but I can't remember the address of the place. If I knew the address I could see if it still runs and if it doesn't offer the guy some cash for the SAFC. Anyone know a way I could get the plates run and find the address for free in Oregon?

Ok I bought a used SAFC2 today for $250, no scratches or anything, the guy upgraded to a bigger turbo setup and needed a completely new engine management system. So I am gonna go install it shortly and when I have enough $$$ I am going to get it tuned on a dyno with a wideband O2.

Ok I got a baseline program setting. This thing is awesome I should have gotten it a long time ago. Plus I installed it in the driver's side glovebox so it is out of view for thieves. I will need to get it professionally tuned on a dyno but even as it is right now it is faster then it was and no mor CEL or any codes. I think what I am really feeling is the gains from the motor work I did a few months ago. Anyway smiles all around and thanks for suggesting the SAFC. The only strange thing is that according to the SAFC my tach is showing about 300rpms more then the SAFC. Any ideas why this might be?

yeah its running great but the tach on the safc is off and it becomes increasingly off as the rpms go up. So it makes it kinda hard to set. Anyone know why the tach would be so far off? At redline it reads just under 4k rpm while the factory tach reads 7250.
