[Shotimes] Which MAF is best?

[Dave Kegel]

Yes, plenty of people have had success with this combo, but several have
not.  As most people on the lists know, I personally think the LPM is a
waste, unless maybe you've got nothing better to do with your money than
spend hours fine tuning your car on a dyno.

With a properly calibrated MAF, the LPM offers no advantages at WOT (unless
you spend the above mentioned time fine tuning the A/F mixture on a dyno).
The part throttle timing advance is iffy (often results in pinging) there is
arguably no reason to change the opening point of the secondaries, nor do I
think the idle speed needs to be bumped, even with UDPs.  That leaves
turning on the cooling fan(s) a bit sooner than stock, big deal.

Obviously if you have some wild cams or a blower, that's a different story.
As always, this is my opinion only, YMMV.
