I dont have one for the supra, but the talon build i was involved in used an older model of the MAF trans, (the one that says 'horsepower in a box') and it allowed you to manually tune the car to an extent. worked great, but you really needed to graph the activity of the o2 sensors in different stages of operation. the new one that i'll be investing in will let you tune if you think you know what needs tweeked. Also, it adjusts the fuel trim automatically if it runs too rich or too lean.

200 bucks is a small price to pay for the advantages that will offer, even if you have to shell out another 50 bucks at a yard to get a GM MAF to work with it. Also, upgrading the diameter of the MAF has its own yeilds... the fact that its actually circular makes intake replacement and upgrades SOOOOOOO much easier.....
