Default CAI Opinions needed

Hey guys, so my 89 has been throwing koer codes 42/92 rich for both banks and it has been this way since I fired it up , it runs good, with a few minor issues here and there which I attribute to the unknown sn-95 maf it is running, It has a computer chip and may contain the calibration for being able to use the meter with 24 lb'ers, ANYWAY, I have tested everything else and all tests good so I believe the maf is causing the rich conditions, so I have a pro -mm 75mm maf calibrated for 24's a friend is letting me borrow but I need to purchase a CAI for a fox that is decent but inexpensive and I'd like to know by tonight so I can get one before thanksgiving.....ANY PICS OF YOUR GUYS setups and or places to purchase one at a decent price is appreciated

BBK fender mount, one of the best looking ones IMO. About a buck fitty or so though.

Mike, are you running 24's? I have a stock meter you can try if you have 19's in it.

^^^^^yeah I have 24's in it right now, however if this doesn't solve the issue I'll take you up on the 19's, do you have the 19's and the meter and all the appropriate tubing before and after MAF, Bernie??

Nope, just the meter and the injectors.

I think it's mostly for looks. You can take out the air silencer and drop in a K&N (which is what I did in my wifes car) and achieve the same results.
