Maybe thats the way he got an extra 190 horsepower out of a 318 without internal mods? I know 190 hp is way out of the ballpark, but maybe 50-100 HP could be added by the conversion. Plus better gas mileage and overall performance.
The only difference would be how the computer measures air flowing into the motor. It would not enable the engine to pull more air, in fact, the MAF would be another restriction to flow. (albeit, a minor one in the over all scheme of things)
No. You are simply NOT going to get that kind of horsepower out of bolt ons and a tune. Unless the bolt on is either nitrous, or a blower. (and even then... it would be very temporary, as the engine would grenade is short order.)
ha im just looking for horse power you know.. my friend has a ford f350 cummins and it throws out about 580 - 600 horse power and everytime we go some where im struggling to keep up
Thats because you have a 9000lb truck with a 230hp motor and a worthless, power robbing transmission. You're not gonna go anywhere fast.
Just get a programer, CAI, headers, high flow cat, high flow muffler, bore your thottle body, 4:10 or 4:56 gears, electric fan, 1.7 roller rockers, underdrive pullies, get rid of your AC if you have it, if you have anything bigger than 265 tires dump them, plus do all the things that squirrel said and you might get over the 250hp mark. But you'll still get wasted.
Its a truck, it's built for hauling stuff, not racing. If you want to go fast, get a sport car or better yet, a sport bike.
Yeah, but the computer knows EXACTLY how much air is going into the motor, and can adjust fuel rate much more efficiently, whereas with speed density the computer is just guessing.

And die. Probably wouldnt be a bad thing.
Speed/density is pretty accurate as well..... gas law is fairly well established, with pressure/temp/volume known, figgering out how much air is in there becomes a fairly simple matter. Not to mention it all becomes rather moot once you go into closed loop, and the O2 sensor starts having its say in the matter.
And the minor difference in accuracy STILL isn't going to allow him to generate that kind of horsepower gains without doing some major engine mods. (internal mods. not just simple bolt ons....)
