I have some data acquisition that will show if you are close to running out of counts.
If I were to port the blower and add a lower pulley or upgrade to a
whipple or KB, I would require a mass air upgrade...not because of size, but because of electronics.

Better do some homework.
MAF's can be calibrated by their manufacturer for a specific injector size. This doens't necessarily mean the transfer function doesn't need to be changed, and it doesn't necassarily mean it as to be the same injector size the car has....as long as the tuner knows what he has.
Lets say you have a MAF calibrated for 42 LB injectors but you have 36's.
Or, you could have a MAF calibrated for 42s and actually have 42's.
Both may run just fine, but will require a different transfer function and changes in injector control. One may run great on the stock transfer fuction.....but require other changes.
It is very possible (and sometimes likely) that you can buy a MAF calibrated for a cetain injector size and not have to change the transfer function, but you may have to adjust injector mins/max, pulsewidth, whatever.
I'm not being specific here again for proprietary reasons.....
Just wanted to clear up an incorrect statement.
You can in fact have a mass air calibrated for a specific injector size and this is actually the quinessential question when doing an offsite (or without a dyno) custom program for a vehicle with a mass air upgrade.
First question from the tuner should be......What size injector is the MAF calibrated for?
