Default Forced Induction w/ Speed Density?

Most, if not all, GM and Ford factory "blown" engines use the Mass Air Flow system instead of the Speed Density used by Chrysler, which got me to wondering, what other factory blown vehicles use, or have used, speed density other than the SRT4 and GT Cruiser? Did the old Shelby turbo (Omnis?)use speed density? I'm not a Chrysler guy and don't know the history of their blown cars. Dalite's statement about the look-up tables in another post made me question if a blown engine shouldn't have MAF rather than SD due to the large range of CFM to be measured. The GTP Grand Prixs, Ford SVT Mustangs, and Ford Lightings all use MAF's even though they're more expensive than speed density. Is it possible the good ole boys at D-C went the least expensive route, rather than use the better MAF system to save a few bucks?
Nawww, they wouldn't do that -- NT!!!
