Happy MAF numbers

So.... I took a little drive from the base to the house I'm moving into later this week. Before I left, I added the Cat Temp, and Mass Air Flow to the Xgauges on my ScanGaugeII. found here

On the motorway I had a chance to open it up. Topped out 4th gear, on the way the scangauge reported 194g/s on the MAF (thats 25.66lbs/min)

oh FWIW the things that might play some role... : MS Catback, gutted OEM cat, MM tuned AccessPORT, BHR coils ... thats it

The AP will log the 'high' number so just go out there and 'give it the full beans' and see what comes up.

Last April of this year, I hit 234 gm/sec. That was back when my compression was good.

IIRC I dodn't see over 900C... but I dunno what that really equates to as I wasn't paying it much attention, it changes somewhat quickly depending on load etc, and it refreshed rather slowly on the scangauge

driving back down to my house this afternoon, i'll take the AP along and log the motorway. I'll be in germany most of november but hopefully soon my stuff will be here and i'll be able to actually test the compression, finally.

on a side note, my car seems to be enjoying the local fuel. our ration basically restricts us to only purchasing gas from Total stations. they offer deisel, 95, 98. havent had a hiccup or any odd numbers out of the 95 yet. Don't know that anyone other than local euro guys and maybe MM would even know what the fuel out here compares to though

I need to do another data log and see where I stand with the low compression motor. It would be interesting.

i just went back and looked at my idle log as well. quite pleased with it, loaded area is lights, a/c, etc. I'm amazed at how much people beat up Jeef about nothing on their calibrations.

I'm still on the old school ones, went from the v1_0 where you eye'd your trims, to the v1_1a and I'm pleased with it. Perhaps its not perfect but it works for me
