I see a lot of BMW stuff. Nothing for DSM's, though. Where is the "MAF Kit" that you saw? Can you link to the page?

I think he is talking about the universal kit

Oh, I see the one you're talking about now. Split Second MAF Kit
In the future, if you provide links to whatever it is you're inquiring about, you'll tend to get a better response. The less work people have to do, the more likely they are to help you.

A quick search for "Split Second", "Universal MAF Kit", "ARC1", "ARC2" and "PSC1" returned no relevant results. Of course, this means that you'd get to be the guinea pig, if you chose to purchase it. So don't expect much in the way of support or feedback for it when you run into a problem, at least not from DSM owners.

My suggestion is, when it comes to tuning hardware, to "wait and see" what others have to say about it first before pluggin' one into your daily driver. Particularly from those who've used at least a couple of the other common DSM tuning products so they can provide a decent comparison.

I can see the attraction to this product, particularly the kit that includes the PSC1. The ability to program it with a laptop and record information is nice, plus you don't have to provide a spot for yet another 1/4 DIN device that sticks out like a sore thumb. However, considering there are so many tried and true DSM tuning options out there, this alone isn't enough to sell me on it. Especially after seeing that prices start at $737 for the 3". Also, the sensor they're using looks a bit more obtrusive than the GM hotwire style MAF.

Here's the way I see the Split Second unit compared to other, more common DSM tuning devices:

MAF Translator and GM MAF - Can't plug your laptop into it and no cockpit controls (unless you mount it inside the car). However, it's cheaper, simple to use and just about every DSM tuner in the world can give a hand with it should the you need help.

I've never really considered the MAF-T a "tuning" device. Yes, you can tune with it in a limited sense (such as compensating for larger injectors), but, it's primary function is to "translate" the GM MAF signal.

SAFC - Still less expensive, more tuning capability than a MAF-T, easy to use, many have used it and can help you with it.

DSMlink - Slightly more expensive (if you don't already have a socketed EPROM laying around), yet offers much more "tunability", pretty large support community and made exclusively for your DSM.

That being said, if you had a car with very little aftermarket support that you wanted to modify, this looks like it would be a good upgrade.

I only know of one tuner who uses ARC2 to tune; Matt Monett, the 1/4 mile record holder for the 3000GT/Stealth platform. I believe he still uses the ARC2 in the 900awhp Stealth he has.
