I'd like to use the excuse about different elevation and fuel, but I can't. Christian on the 37 forums shipped his car from Maryland to California for his twin build and there hasn't been one issue with his tune.

It's the damn draw-through style MAF sensor. It's not able to properly account for the air that's going through the throttle-bodies, Weiboy said it best.

Do you think there is an alternative solution to those MAF weak spots? Is there the possibility of using a different style to solve the problem?

My mechanic is working on a 3rd MAF sensor (after the supercharger, before the throttle-bodies) that could be added, who knows how much of a pain in the *** that's going to be. At this point, even if you properly tune the car for summer driving, you'll have to tweak it during the colder months, otherwise you're more prone to knocking issues.

Ah, that stinks. Thanks for the information, it's a shame the stock MAFs are so finicky! What about converting to MAP sensors; I know it is not an apples to apples comparison, but I know that LS2 GTOs can be converted to run with MAP sensors only and that relieves the issues you talked about with finicky map sensors.
