Ah, yet another person knowing very little about speed density engines.

The speed density cars will accept cams, heads, and intakes. I haven't seen him online lately, but 88workcar is running very low 12's N/A with SD. Edelbrock heads, cobra intake, and an E cam. Basically with SD you bump the fuel pressure to compensate for the greater airflow. Tune the car close, and the computer will compensate. SD computers have a hell of a lot more ability to adjust parameters than MAF cars. I've seen SD cars run 24lb injectors, stock, and only have a very slight rev on startup, and a tiny bit of idle surge. Still pass emissions and get well over 25mpg on the road.

A ton of people do some mods, switch to MAF and then say they really wished they would have tried to tune the combo on SD to see if they could get it to work.
