    Returnless fuel system with smallish injectors plus boost isn't helping. A referenced regulator will let the injectors support more power.

    Do you have the MAF completely removed, or just failed? Cause if it's removed it'll never get to 100Hz and fail over into SD properly. MAF Fail High should be 0Hz.

    Boost with a non-1:1 referenced regulator has the same effect on injector flow as reducing fuel pressure. Makes the injectors flow less the more boost rises, since fuel pressure doesn't also increase.

    Again, if the MAF is removed, how's it ever going to hit your 100Hz Fail High target and set the codes and go into speed density?
