Speed density vs maf

just curious on the pros and cons of driving a car w/out maf. I can imagine that a street car would do better w/a maf and thats what my car is . But how bad is it w/out one. The ''tuner'' said that he could tune the car w/out it but I'd rather ask here since I'm sure plenty people have tried it. Thanks pete,

I'm thinking of converting. I'll need the tune tho. I think I can get a mail order tune dialed in for it. THey said it somewhere in one of them thread things.
