Default Rogue or vitesse maf?

I wanna try a different maf set up. I wanna go with the one which will require the least amount of tuning. I'm leaning toward the rogue with injectors... Seems like a really nice setup for the $$$. What do ya think. My goal is about 400 chp.....

There isn't much of a difference between the two besides the use of high-z vs. low-z injectors. The only other difference is that Vitesse has a piggy back available right now, Rogue will have one available in the future. You can't go wrong with either one.

why do you need a piggyback if the tune already handles true maf conversion?

no piggyback needed for the M-tune although Josh has plans for 1 in the future. It's really only for the guy that just can't resist to tweak the last 2% out of the system. I have it installed on my new 3L and the car runs perfect. Perfect a/f ratios idle to redline. May sound like I'm a fan, but really I spent many hours fiddling with a piggyback and it's a total PIA. To have a system that is really plug and play is a beautiful thing. Talk to Josh and he'll hook you up.

Thanks guys!! I'll probly go with the Rogue. I just don't have the patience to fiddle with the old school Quad-M maf I have. I even ordered a new set of chips with it and used the suggested maf file, and the car runs PIG rich @ 10:1 ,or fatter. I asked if I should try a different file or try to tweek the maf voltage some and never got a response from LR so.... Seems that everyone is really pleased with all the Rogue offerings. There is no dyno to tune where I live so the less back road tuning runs the better. Sorry officer but I'm tuning my car... Understand? lol

I personally have a Rouge C-Tune which is his MAF chipset made for a Ford Lightning 90mm Maf and personally find the tune and drive-ability excellent.

Rogue, hands down. Actual true technical knowledge behind the product - Josh writes what he sells. And when you factor in the cost of his full kit (MAF + injectors) it's a no-brainer.

I'm on the A-Tune now but think I'm gonna make the jump to the M-Tune once my tax refund gets here

Rogue for life :-) lol.

I have certainly been proud to be a part of it from the start. I know Josh really cares about doing the absolute best he can to make all the improvements possible.

Alright!! A lot of happy Rogue users out there! I was going to try to get my '88 S sold before dumping $ into the '89.., but I'm gonna have to give in and get the M-tune + injectors soon.... I want to see how much I can get out of the k26/8 in the '89 before (maybe) pulling the super 53 off the '88 or going with another turbo....

I just think its awesome that someone put in the time and energy to provide the plug n play maf. It will make my quad-m unit seem pre-historic I'm sure!!

Dunno, had good luck with Vitesse in the past - ran 23psi on 26/8 every day...
Have another Vitesse in the garage waiting on my slack self to get it installed...
