Default MAF question

I was thinking about buy a 90mm MAF. Wanted to know if I upgraded to that size. Would I need to change out anything else?
Like the tubing or anything else? I have a 99 Mustang thanks

Im not sure why you would wanna go that big? You'd definitely have to have it recalibrated to accept that big of a MAF with a tune. But I dont see why you would wanna go bigger than 85mm MAF with a N/A engine.

You don't need a different MAF unless you go forced induction. I still run my stocker calibrated for 30# injectors.

I am so confused...is the motor in his sig in a 99? If he has a stock MAF with that motor, his car must run like $HIT.

Why would you say my car runs like **** ? It actually runs GREAT. I was only asking the question because I recently purchased the Diablo Mafia chip for my stock MAF. It didn't really work out the way I thought, so I wanted to get the Lighning 90mm MAF.

I dont understand what's so confusing about the question...

Yes I 5.0 stroker. I know I put all of this info in my signature.

Yes, but I purchased this Diablo Mafia Extender it is supposed to make the computer think the settings were correct. It was recommended by my tuner. Now my car is really messing up and and running rich, the service engine soon light is on. I took the mafia extender off and started getting the same readings. That is why I wanted to purchase the 90mm MAF. So can I keep same tubing after installing the MAF or will I need to get a larger setup?

Does this make any since to you guy that are confused ? Thanks
