^^ not. But as a general rule of thumb, unless you're comparing dynojet to dynojet don't waste your time. DD can be programmed to read anything and don't even read the same as each other.

yes the stock maf can only read a certain range of air flow, around the 350whp mark is its max. You must buy an aftermarket MAF sensor if you want to run more airflow than that.
Unless you are going to use a different EMS and run a MAP sensor.

I drove my car to ZDAYZ up in North Carolina from Atlanta which was my first trip with the new Vortech V3.

Car ran perfectly.

Nice smooth power curve and other than the subtle whine of the Vortch you wouldn't know I did anything to it from a driveability standpoint until you get on the gas and then it is just a rocket as compared to before the Vortech.

Enjoy your new power.

These are great cars made even better by the added power.
