Default 90 MM Lightning MAF Sensor Max?

What is the max power these sensor are good until before they peg? I am targeting high 400 to 500 rwhp max will this be good?

If not, what should I buy that would be a plug and play?

I believe at around 400 they begin to peg. I have a Lightning, and I have a MAFia in series with my MAF to keep it from pegging, and I only have 450rwhp

Well I will call Haney Motor Sport today about their BA3000 95mm MAF which suppose to be good for 900 hp - Just another added cost

Anyone running this MAF sensor???

You can still use the `L MAF, just get it tuned, and if it pegs, buy a Diablo MAFia for it

I called my tuner this morning and he mentioned that lightning should be fine as he has seen them go to 500 rwhp so I will see what happening post build.

Where can you buy Diablo MAFia if I need it?

Well I will start off just using the special forces and will be following up my build with a custom dyno tune as well. I figured for extra $160 I won't have too ever hopefully upgrade again.

Problem is finding someone local to tune with the Sniper software. I understand the whole point of that software is to tune it yourself, but theres so many variables the average joe cant comprehend.. Thats why I went with SCT and a guy who does nothing but tune with it.
