    I always use g/sec - but lb/min seems more sensible. Smaller numbers :wink:
    Cheers,

    lbs/min x 10 at peak = HP(roughly).

    I usualy think in terms of lbs/min. but it doesn't really matter to me.

    Maybe there can be PIDs for each of them...

    The V7.1.9 Scan Tool will be changed back to lbs/min.

    A calculated PID of MAF lbs/hour will also be provided as:
    CALC.MAF.lbph = {SAE.MAF.lbpm}*60

    It may not be the "correct" way to repesent air flow but it is the most popular way.

    Regards
    Paul
