GM MAF AND MAF Translator - your opinion on it NEWBIE here

[sillyme]

I bought my car with it (MAFT and GM maf). I tuned it as best as i can. Idle around 14.7 a/f mid around 14 and wot pig rich at 10. My biggest concern is that it runs rich out of no where. Not right away but after you drive it for a good 5-10 minutes. then you let off and step on it and it goes back to normal. I have to keep on doing this.
Now i'm thinking about getting rid it. I already bought a 2g maf. My question is, should I? Is the setup that bad? I hear people complaining about no temp compensation. tuning is a pain in the a$$. I tried it personally and didn't like how it tuned. On another note some people actually like it. I could care less about venting to atmosphere even though it does sound good. My goals are a reliable commuter all season long and 320-350whp. thanks for any help.

A lot of people have problems with them when used by itself. I have one just so I don't have a restrictive 1g or 2g maf on my car. Plus I overrun a 1g maf. I am tuning with Dsmlink though. I never tried the translator by itself. Your going to need something to tune with for your goals. It really depends on if you want to or not. Personally I would buy Dsmlink and keep the gm maf and use them together. But that might not be in your budget.

i don't know,what version do you have,but i got maft genII and i like that ,better then SAFCII.its easy to tune,and the good thing is,that you connect the wideband to the maft genII and it calibrates the a/f automatically

Im running that setup on my car and it works great you probably just need to do some more tuning or add tuning help like a safc or dsmlink.
