steve.. i obviously don't know the answer for sure...

but i believe our cars use a hot wire type MAF.. and yes i believe you are right that they do have an range of output voltage that is limited by the MAF's design

another thing though that chipguy showed me is that the tables in the PCM that only go up to 5V MAF signal.. and as far as i know chips can only repopulate the tables with new values, they can't extend the tables... that is the reason for using a recalibrated MAF in the first place.. to get the signal in a range that is allowable in the PCM tables... its possible to recalibrate a stock focus MAF.. but the cost is almost the same as using a recalibrated cobra MAF, so it makes sense to use the bigger unit

what else did your vortech kit come with? i'm thinking there is something in there that is intercepting and transforming the MAF output before it gets to the PCM, and the autologic chip is handling the timing, load stuff and the fuel trim

i'm not sure how exactly the SCT chips work.. but i'm pretty sure the autologic chips just let you get at the EEC-V system and fiddle with everything that the ford engineers can and store different values for the existing tables.. and the EEC-V doesn't have the ability to transform MAF signals....

let us know how your research goes... this is interesting stuff
