Thanks again for the detailed response and willingness to share. Those additional E67 sensor inputs make sense - similar actually to what I see with the late model Mustang GT500 tunes we've done, although the Mustangs are messier because of the "torque demand" throttling strategy.

I completely agree with all you said, but I think you might have meant to say that Speed Density calibration is calculating mass air flow from MAP/RPM/displacement? I'd completely agree that a properly calibrated MAF sensor is not only precise, but also provides compensation/insurance against all kinds of other variables that affect air mass (intake manifold heat, intake valve temp, spark variation due to knock retard, etc).
