I plan to get dsmlink in the near future. Can it work with the maf-t on a 3" gm maf in a blow through setup? Also what is the absolute largest injectors I would need for an agp 50 trim?
 
There is no reason not to go huge on injectors with dsmlink because the ability to compensate for large injectors is easilly configured. Usually there is not much of a price difference between the larger injectors. So go with 850's and not worry about fuel for a while. Also some people have not liked how the maft has worked with dsmlink. So search around on that because I don't have any experience personnally with it.
 
Yes, the MAF-T will work with the DSMLink, but you do have to do some MAF calibration to get the thing to read correctly. GM MAF's tend to give slightly off readings, which can fixed by making adjustments with the MAF-T or the DSMLink. My GM MAF was reading about 12% high above 1600HZ, so I made the proper adjustments using the DSMLink's MAF compensation. I could have also used the WOT dial on the MAF-T though.

As for injector size, go as big as you think you will need since larger injectors can easily be compensated for using the DSMLink. Save yourself the hassle of buying injectors twice and get big ones the first time. I went from 550's to 750s, and I wish I had gotten bigger ones still...

The GM MAF is extremely accurate, the quality of the translator and position of the sensor result in many different air flow discrepancies. You don't see GM vehicles needing wacky calibrations like DSMs do while using their sensor, think about it.

I should have been more specific. I meant GM MAF's tend to give off readings when used in DSM applications. Obviously it is not the sensor which is reading innacurately. In blowthrough setup, you are almost gaurenteed to get some off readings due to various reasons. I was just stating that the MAF-T can be used with the DSMLink, you just have to make some adjustments for your particular setup.

my old turbo was a 50 trim and the 720's did not work well for me at all I would stick to the 660's if you want I happen to have some I just got back from cleaning make me a good offer and there yours i have gone up to 780's best of luck

Any DSM injectors up to 1600cc will work perfectly fine with DSMLink if you know how to tune deadtime and global. Pick what you need, not what works for other people.
