    Hey guys, HP Tuners have MAF disabled and all trac control disabled for LTFT tuning. (3800 swapped cavalier turbocharged 15psi) So a few things here, in the editor the highest MAP reading that I have on the table is 140 KPA, scanning im getting readings as high as 200KPA on full boost and bad hesitation. It feels just like im hitting a rev limiter. Since I have the MAF disabled does the PCM just not know what to do with values over 140KPA? What are my options here? Im not "seeing" this hesitation on the scans either...
    97 cavalier with L67 swap. F23 Getrag trans with stage 3+ SPEC clutch, KB pistons, L32 rods, LS6 valve springs, 3.4 pulley, ZZP downpipe 2.5, Full rotating assembly balance.

    Correct, the computer has no idea what is happening past 140kpa, that is the end of the fuel table.

    That is the main reason why theses cars are a MAF based operating systems. You can tune the VE up to around 2-3psi of boost then you have to tune the rest with the MAF.
