A speed density system has less restriction(and more hp potential)
than a MAF system. The MAF system has more latitude in "correcting"
for mods. The best of both worlds would thus be a speed density system
that's easily adjustable. There is no MAF conversion for our
engines(nor is any probable). The best you could get at this time is
custom programming to suit the mods you have.

BTW, the next step will be real time analysis and engine controls
based on the exhaust(not intake). O2 Sensors that are fast/accurate
enough already exist but are $$.
