Default Overkill?

Is 75mm MAF sensor too much for 24lb injectors?

Not as long as it's calibrated properly.

as long as its calibrates to 24lbs injectors i wouldnt think so. what are your mods? that would be the better way to tell if you need it or not.

if its a 94-95 yes 65mm would be correct. if its a prior to 94 its only a 55mm. you want your maf bigger than or equal to your tb size so if you want to increase your maf you can but if its calibrated now i dont see an issue with it. why do you feel you need a bigger one?

Well the throtle body is a 65mm the sensor is stock, I thought I would need one calibrated for 24 since mine is 19, its a 91 5.0 coupe. Thanks for all the help by the way.

If your TB is 65, you need to go a step higher with the MAF. 75 is a bit much with your mods unless your getting it for real cheap.
