Thank you Alistair...

    That site explains a lot.  I had a racecar with an MAF set-up and I
always wondered what my dyno runs were doing...  I'd watch the guys
'tweeking' all the pretty-colored columns on the screen, watch the money fly
out of my wallet and really only understand the Graph printouts...I had a
vague idea they were changing the mapping...whatever that was...

  seems like a great way to help out the Vanagon-era engine EFI.   I am
going to look into that for my inline Digifant motor...I could always use  a
few more hp....especially HP that comes from more efficient air flow/fuel
managment and doesn't come from cubic inches/cubic dollars.
  Thanks again.
  Don Hanson
