Yes, you can work with MAF<--> fuel, but basically you want to cut back fuel for the test, then add it again later.
The Throttle table is more intuitive, especially with aftermarket intakes or turbos.
If you know the test is a certain range of RPM or throttle position, just cut it there. With the MAF, you need to have an idea of what the MAF "actual" flow rate is in the area tested, and fueling alters MAF flow rate since it's a turbocharged engine.
I can tune up to a GT45 single for street use without even a MAF sensor plugged in usually.
You can do this with Main Injection Pulse too.
