It's fine to say things like that at the beginning of the post, that's why you've come and asked a question. But to say it AFTER i've already related the facts to you that directly contradict your opinion is extremely irritating- You've recieved your answer from a knowledgable source and then gone and spit in my face and said "I don't believe you" or "Bullshit." So if you are going to do that, if you're going to ignore the things I took time to inform you of, to answer your questions, why ask the question in the first place? Is it more convenient to pretend you didn't read my answer?

I'm not aware, Paul, of any scientific studies done to accurately measure the number of people who have a well running car on a piggyback versus the amount of people who have melted a piston, versus ran lean, versus _____. If you have any scientific studies showing the benefits and magic that a piggyback is able to work, then I'd love to see them. Until either one of these massive studies gets underway, I'll continue to use my knowledge of how EFI systems work and how piggybacks function and communicate with stock ECU's to guide my selection of automotive computer electronics.

Why dont you say that the air flow meter maxes out at a set voltage on a skyline? because you dont the facts. You should know the range of measurement that the stock ecu uses, if your a professional tuner.

Oh, I didn't know you new that. A Nissan MAF generally cuts off at a max of 5.112 volts. Like a MAP sensor, you do not want to run up to the maximum voltage, so knowledgable people usually say that the MAFs reach their limit at "About" 400whp. You don't see people using a GM 3 bar MAP sensor at 29psi very often, even though @ sea level you "should" be able to. Instead you say that the MAP sensor will reach its limit at "about" 26psi.
If you want to continue to insult me and say things like "You dont understand the question or the cars you are tuning" and ignore the facts I've presented then there is no reason for me to continue posting in this thread, best wishes, I look forward to seeing your "Engine rebuild" thread after the installation and "tuning" of your AFC and subsequent detonation due to high timing advance #'s. If you want to ask pertinent questions and pay attention to the answers, I'll keep posting, and I'd appriciate an apology for insulting my intelligence (which really ticked me a lot, coming from someone who can't even spell "knew" correctly.)
Read my posts. You'll find that although I am straightforward and blunt I don't insult people until they (and even then, only sometimes) insult me first. I present factual information. I seek to destroy myths and end speculation and misinformation. If my answers piss you off, frighten, or offend you, then "perhaps you should cease asking scary questions."
