I've been doing some research on the LT1, and found out the the Gen 1 from 92-'93 was a Speed Density system, which was upgraded to Mass Air Flow in '94.
I'm a bit confused bythe "upgrade".
I remember from my L98 F-Body days that the original TPI system was MAF, and that was upgraded to Speed Density in '90, IIRC. I remember that the SD cars were considered superior to the MAF cars, at least as far as the F-Bods were concerned.
Going from SD to MAF almost seems like a step backwards, at least as far as that line of thinking goes.
So I'm just curious, which is the better system?
Any downfalls to the SD as far as the LT1 is concerned?
Thanks!
Mike
