mass air flow electronically controls gas air mix. sd is vac.

Some people think that they are easier to mod. They do accept mods a little better than SD but it is by no means a necessay to have. Major upgrades like cam and heads can throw off the readings and it would need to be tuned.

hmmmm well i was just wondering because everyone says you need maf to mod your car effectively but i was reading a 5.0 magazine and i notice an 800 hp lx fox with sd and i was like ??????? how but i guess i know now

maf is way better for mods, they are way more accurate and respond faster.

yeah, after major upgrades it needs a tune. If you build a complete motor, then you can tune it one time and be done with it. Stock for stock SD cars are supposed to make a little more power but I don't think it is enough to mean anything.

if you were gonna do a complete build why not convert to mass air in the first place? they are more accurate is my piont, they can change the according to the conditions theyre in a lot more quickly than sd.

You do not need MAF and if you have a SD car and do a head/cam swap you just get it tuned as you would with a MAF car anyway.

if i were putting a cam in my car id go with a maf conversion. they are not hard to do and they are deff worth it imo.
