[s-cars] MAF location

[mlp]

We looked at doing this at one point.  It seems to me that velocity would be
a more a function of tube diameter, which in any event is already partially
"set" by the design of the MAF any way.  

It's a closed system, so you're metering the same "weight" of air
regardless.  Don't know exactly how this would play out vis-à-vis the hot
wire, but my college room mates sailing experiences in comparing Rocky
Mountain winds to Rio de Janeiro racing, suggest that it takes velocity AND
density to move a sail boat, i.e. a low density 40mph Lake Dillon "breeze"
wouldn't flip his Force 5, but a 30mph Rio de Janeiro blow would.

HTH, gotta go wash the dog
