Lightning MAF and 30# injectors= $200?
Is this a good price fora used80 mm Lightning MAF and 30# injectors? It is from the Mustang shop in my area and they have yet to steer me wrong. Just want to make sure, though. These will be going on a 97 GT for the S Trim I am putting on.

My car already has an 80 mm in it? Hmm, then why do I need a bigger one in the first place? Why can't I just put the 30# injectors in there and reprogram the MAF?

80 bucks for the injectors, and the LMAF assuming its a 90 is a great deal.

Alright, so if it's a 90 mm MAF, it's a good deal to pay $200 for them. Sweet, thanks to all for helping me on this. Feel free to coment more if ya want.

MPH has a new 90mm Lmaf for 135 bucks, and summitracing shows that new 30 pnd/hrs are going for 275 bucks if that helps you out any. 200 would be a ok deal, but nothing stellar for used parts.
I still would plan on going larger than 30 pn/hrs... your not going to need it right now on a NPI car, but if you ever do anything to the heads/top end(aka PI swap with thicker gaskets etc) you are going to find yourself with not enough injector for the job.

LOL, whoops, sorry about that. Yeah, it is $200. But how is that not a good deal. New MAF is $135 and injectors are $275. That is over $400 for both and if I can get them for half that, how's that bad? I do see what you're saying with the larger injectors, though. I'll see if they have bigger ones lying around. How much HP can the 42 or 48 punders take? I want to see a good amount of HP eventually and if I need to spend the money on new, bigger injectors to prevent having to buy some later I will.
