Default mass air meter

I was looking at the C&l 76mm mass air meter and wondering if i should get it. would it help out with the mods i have or do i need a c/h/i for it to really help?

I would get it since you already have other intake mods,just make sure you get it calibrated for 19lb injectors.

Yeah but there is really no reason to have a bigger MAF when you car is sucking through a factory air box with silencer and a 60mm throttle body.

factory air box is very efficent with supplied with a K&N panel filter and the fact of the no reason to have a larger maf for a stock motor or TB is actually right.

youre not going to gain that much power. its like believing youre CAI just gave you 20hp. if you go that route every mustang around here is producing close to 400
