Use the SCT software(livelink) to add it to your SCT configuration file or ask your tuner to do it.

Which one is it? Does it just say #/min? The only one I saw was MAF, but I didn't think we had a MAF, it's a MAP... right?

I don't know, that seems a little light to me, with stock turbos and no GH IC on e30 with catted DP's and the rest of your mods (in a no-pp '18) I put 398 HP to the wheels. I would suspect with GH IC and turbos you should be well into the 400's.

Although, it was this spring with all that great cold dense air we have up nort.

I would agree with this, with FMIC, coils, intake and e30, I did 421/503 at the wheel. That was before any exhaust work and without a revision for the intercooler. With IC and Turbo upgrade i would imagine you should be deep in to the 400s if not into the 5s.

I think its called airflow

yes it's "AIR FLOW #/min" but I wouldn't read too much into it on our cars. With all the nannies and the DI technology it's not as accurate as it was on previous cars.

I know on our Gen 1 F-150 Eco trucks, we make 540hp with turbo upgrades but only 53.29# air flow #/min.

Likewise, on our SHOs we have customers that made 370/390 (car downshifted on the dyno so it skewed torque down low) while only making 39 #/min mass air flow.

While it's a rule of thumb for comparative gains, I wouldn't take it to heart when figuring your actual power.

Your post should reflect how accurate it is. Lol those numbers are ****** close.

Well previous talk was that it reflected flywheel horsepower, but in our experience it's matching more closely to wheel horsepower since we are comparing to actual dyno numbers.

Best way to find the power your car is making is actually running a quarter mile. It takes X amount of HP to move X amount of weight at X amount of MPH.

Yessir, this is by far your best post for information. Lmao

Different vehicle. E85 F150


I was getting around 57lbs on e30 with my sho with the bolt ons listed in sig.
I’m pretty sure 57 lb/min is well beyond the means of stock turbos. Even more so for 68 lb/min on the stock truck. Sounds like your speed density was/is way out of whack.

No idea. I was seeing around 48#/min on the SHO before any mods with just tune
