Default MAF

Hey guys - so my S-trim headunit will be coming in Saturday, so I will be buying all the other parts to supercharge the 'stang. I was wondering though - do I need a new MAF? I've seen some people running them, and some not, so I didnt know if it was crucial with the supercharger or not.

some people running mafs and some not?

you HAVE to have a maf dude. most people use draw thru setups with a lightning maf (your stock maf is not good enuff for those power levels) and its located in the fender, thats why you dont see it...but it is there.

i dont know what the stock one maxes out at but your going to overshoot it. you can get the diablosport mafia that lizzy posted, or just go on ebay, stop being cheap, and buy a lightning maf for 50 bucks.
