[QUOTE="Sloe Truk, post: 8752318, member: 17770"] And I agree with you on all points, conceeding the points that most people do not have access or funds to the higher end of the spectrum of parts. One should always follow the OEM instructions on friction material, pads/clutches etc... I mentioned seasoning rotors, cause it never hurts, most applications that most of us have access to, would benefit from it. The OP and many of us out there are using off the shelf components was intended to that end. Myself I am still using the OE Brembo caliper and OE rotors on my Z. All of the others fail miserablly. I was able to source some used race brembos that will work with my fitment this past weekend and was surprised at the complete difference in apearance and weight, I can't remember which race series these came from but they are about 1/2 the weight of the same friction ring that I would normally expect. I don't even want to know what these cost new (and they only run one race on these) and they were barely scratched. The MAF solution was very generalized, if one wanted to add a wheatstone bridge network to it for calibration and scaling it could be done and cheaply. Calibration would lend itself to sourcing a controlled flow of CFM to set and scale the range of the MAF, again though you have to keep in mind that a MAF was designed for laminar flow and I would not think that the high pressure zone of the front of a Cobra or anything really would be laminar. I think at best one could chart the readings and take an average, and compare that to a desired average. So assuming a 3" straight piece of PVC all but pegged the MAF at 4.5 V. when measuring the flow in the brake duct an average MAF voltage was derived at 3.5V and one wanted more flow, changes could be made in the ducting and retested.
