Which translator setting for maf?

[Turbo6Smackdown]

Ok, I went to get an LT1 maf a while back and came back with this LS1 maf that's suggested to use with the 2nd gen translator. Well I guess this plastic one replaced the aluminum one a while back. So which setting do I use on the translator? LS1 aluminum or LS1 85mm? I was told the only difference between these mafs are the deletion of the aluminum. So why is there a different setting? My car runs ok on both. Which one is correct?

Huh? On what? You sure you have the "same" set up?

So, you have a Gen II Translator? If so, you can use the LS1 Aluminum setting. On the newest version there is a "3.5 Plastic" setting, but that mainly gets the BLM's closer, it runs pretty much the same as the LS1 Alum setting. Make sure you have the MAF Output setting matched you whatever chip you have.

3.5 plastic. gotcha. will try that. Maf output matches the chip? I thought it was supposed to be stock gn maf? What did I screw up now lol. I get off in 2 hours. Will start fartin' around with it then and report back. I have your standard issue chip in it, cut for all the appropriate stuff you see in my sig. Was I on the wrong setting then?

MAF Output: Stock GN MAF is correct for a TurboTweak chip.

Oh ok good. What if I had an extender extreme? What would I put it on then?

Ok here's my options that are close: 3.5 maf LT1 LS1/LS6 85mm and LS1 aluminum.

For the Extender Extreme G, Maf Output should be "GN/Ext Pro"
