I thought of this but then I realized that would just make things worse. Currently the MAF can measure between 0 and 4.8V. The resistor is going to make that range even smaller.

What we need is a way to accurately measure more air flow utilizing the existing equipment or else swap for equipment that will. We already know the stock MAF will not measure accurately over 5600RPM regardless of what you do to the wiring/ECU.

Significant Technical Input
I didn't mean to inspire a hijacking of the thread. I was just suggesting that the maf voltage output be the next analog data he log along with afr.

I'm curious to see if the meter goes up to the full 5.12 or not but anything at 4.8 or above will read the same in the software. The table values for 4.8, 4.88, 5.6, & 5.12 are all ffff-it's maxed out mathmatically whether the hardware is maxed out or not.
Michael, I'm definitely going to log the MAF voltage reading. I have a suspicion that the slight lean-out at WOT peak rpm is due to the MAF maxing out, but some of my data suggests otherwise. The last plot I posted on the 1st page shows the afr at about 1/2 throttle (vs WOT) all the way out to 6500 rpm, and even here the afr leans out a bit near max rpm. So, I wasn't going to say anything about the MAF possibly maxing out until I could get some concrete data. I'm super busy at work right now, so I don't think I'll be able to get the data until mid-June.

I log data for both wide band and MAF voltage on my CAMP system. But this does not help much due to the fact that it is on a turbo car.
