Default Data logged AEB - 3" MAF still pegging

I guess its a good problem to have, but still...
In my effort to get the good ol' AEB beyond Giac PC16 levels, I thought I got there by installing 3" MAF and 550cc injectors with C2 stage 5 ECU. The tune does not run well. Our own 'beta' tune runs similarly, I have a hard time getting reliable rpm signal into the Innovate LM-2 logger (for wideband A/F plus 3 more parameters) so I can post-sync the data with the other (limited, slow ECU) OBD2 logs (VAGcom). Still working on that.

Desperate, did a 'fuel match' and plugged the Giac PC16 in again. Runs NICE.

Logged, and found MAF pegging from 5k rpm on again. Flow corrected for the 3" housing, that's 255 g/sec (or around 320 cHP).

Now looking for larger MAF that does NOT peg, the 'ghetto fuel match' again to see what the setup flows. Would like to max out stock AEB block (350 cHP a sane limit?).

^ I think that the MAF I have on my 4.2 is close to 3.5". I have a spare at home I can measure if you like.

Rechecked alignment - rain suggested highway 9 home.
Super nice super fun drive. 35 minutes of twisty mountain roads to test it. ...... Guess what- it passed!

Put new winter tires on, in Germany you have to have winter tires. Who knew the rears with 215/60/16 would rub with stock wheels on the inside with 2" H&R sport springs. 5mm spacers solved that. Could have went wit 10mm.
