[QUOTE="cj428mach, post: 12895457, member: 142081"] I was reading a file on tuning and saw this and thought of you. Maybe it helps answer your question. [I][FONT=Geneva][SIZE=1][FONT=Geneva][SIZE=1][LEFT][SIZE=2]Resolution - basically, it has to do with airflow vs. MAF voltage. Two factors affect it: Physical size of the MAF, and injector size it's calibrated for.
