Eh, I obviously don't know nearly as much as he does, and it's awesome what hes doing. But are you telling me that if he removed the MAF he wouldnt see a power gain? I have a hard time believing that.
You may be correct, however, I’m not sure anyone believes that to be a sure fact any longer
For proof, check out the Supra dyno numbers on Steve Vache's website. Mohd has stronger numbers than any of comparably equipped cars that are running either a VPC or AEM.
It's been an interesting progression the past couple of years, compared to "in stone" beliefs from only five or six years ago: First there was the “MAF restriction above 500 WHP”, then came the “log manifold restriction above 500WHP”, then the “HKS Type S restriction above 500 WHP”. Amazingly, Mohd was using all the above equipment, yet he hit 685.
Sure there will be a ceiling (and Mohd thinks he's currently in that range at 685), but considering not many (if any) Supras running stock cams and the T04R/.81 combo have ever equaled his numbers, I personally don't believe there would be much of an improvement (if any) by doing away with the MAF.
