What chip are you running. You don't have to have a translator... I was referring to people that have run 9's.... w/o a translator... you only need a translator if you are running a newer MAF mater like an LS1 or Lt1...

Definately get the MAF working properly. BLM's will usually show to an extent if everything else is functioning correctly... if the MAF is mis-calibrated... IMHO...

I was basing that on your boost level of 10 psi and might have been thinking 109 motor with stockish heads..... usually that doesn't make enough power to get you very fast.... I realize you are running a newer vintage motor... and heads... and I don't know what they flow.... so maybe it is quicker..... I just wouldn't expect mid 11's on 10 psi boost.

I agree 100%. Your setup is different.

I hope my last few posts haven't discouraged you.... I just think/thought you shouldn't need to buy any new MAF or injectors just yet. I'm trying to keep you from spending any un-necessary funds... that's all.... just trying to help.

When you mention the possible calibration issue on the MAF... it does need taking care of.... and you might need a new chip to try.... Are you running the same ECM as a GN? ....
