If the MAF ever failed, I sure as hell would not try and drive the piss outta the car. And its very unlikely that it would fail while trying to break a speed record, and if it did the car would just fall on its face and you'd let off anyway. Would be easy to see on the scan what went wrong.
I can understand wanting to use the VE on a different car like a V8/LS motor, but ours just don't need it really. I also never understood why someone would want to spend so much time getting a 3.8 to run good in open loop.
