like most people know....i have a SAFC and the GM MAF translator on my car.....i guess the first step in tuning my car is to get rid of one of them....which one should i go with? and which datalogger is better----the one on the laptop or the one on the palm pilot?

I wouldn't totally get rid of your SAFC until you're sure that you can tune with the MAFT. If you've got version 2.08 of the MAFT chip you're supposed to be able to tune nearly as well as with the SAFC. BUT, v2.08 has JUST been released w/in the past couple of weeks as an upgrade to the older versions, so you probably don't have that yet.

We have been having some problems tuning midrange RPMs with the MAFT alone. It seems that the global nature of tuning with the MAFT doesn't allow accurate tuning based on RPMs...rather, it seems to be more airflow-mediated. The SAFC, on the other hand might be better for tuning at specific RPMs and/or RPM ranges.
