Every car is different and nobody can tell you your settings for idle/mid/wot. You need to tune those specifically yourself by watching the wideband or logging a pull and adjusting accordingly.

Here's instructions you can pull up on word:
1G / 2G DSM MAFT version 2.XX (Current Version!) - Full Throttle Speed Tech Support

Now, this isn't what you asked. BUT I would seriously consider ditching that MAF-T and getting ECMLink. Your MAF-T is a piggyback system and is a very crappy "tuning device" on its own being that the adjustments are in 5% increments. You aren't going to be getting to your cars full potential without a better tuning solution.

I noticed you didn't list a wideband. You really should get one and not do any WOT pulls (especially on your bigger injectors) without one. Don't make any other adjustments other than your base until you get a wideband and also preferably a logger.

oh okay and oh I have a wide band and oh I thought the MAF-T was a good but it came with the car so I wanted to hook it up so whats the best thing I should go with with my set up?
 
If you don't feel like paying $600 for ECMlink, check into the Ostrich 2.0 that can be purchased from Moates.net, and both TunerPro RT or Jackal. Jackal is easier to tune and setup than ECMLink ever will be, but its features are lacking. TunerPro RT is a little more involved to learn, but making changes to TunerPro is easier than ECMLink is as well. Just edit a window, click upload to Ostrich and you're done. Not shutting the car off to make changes to the DA tables, and not to mention the features that TunerPro offers is only limited by your imagination and current skill level of the coders out there today.


If you're interested in pressure-indexed Speed Density maps with a laundry list of features, and all the power that TunerPro offers for the cost of $185 shipped(TunerPro is free, you need a socketed ECU) head on over to forum.dsmecu.com or dsmap.net. :)


(ECMLink fanboys can save your breath. I'm not going to get into a debate with you, I'm merely showing him there are more options than one product).
 
If your just tinkering around and wanna do some simple tuning an SAFC would do alright, but I tried using the maft and it was a pain having to tune it and getting in and opening the hood everytime you wanna make an adjustment. I now have it zeroed out and just use it as a connector for a 3inch gm maf. I personally highly recommend Dsmlink, even though I don't even have it yet. Heard so much good about it
 
The MAFT can be used to just adapt the GMMAF signal to the DSM ECU, or it can be used to (roughly) tune the car.

If you're on a stock ECU then set the MAFT to the MAF type (e.g. 3" or 3.5") and then set the base setting for your 650's. At the least, that should get your car driving. You can play with the other adjustments if you want to try to tune with the MAFT. It's doable, but there are definitely better tools for that job these days.
 
I know when I was trying to tune mine, I located a simple kind of guide to tuning the maft, and for the life of me I cant remember where. Pretty sure I googled it and it brought me to a post here with a link. Sorry I cant be more help than that
