Yes I had one for a while until I decided to up my injectors to 42lbs and needed a better maf. Then I went to a SCT B3000 maf.

No its too rich and max's out the maf. I bought the SCT B3000 and have had no fuel problems since. Also I have the SVT Focus fuel pump.

i am going to be buying the on3 turbo kit and was going to get it with the MP t70 turbo and also add the svt focus pump, MAF and 60lb injectors. THey say that they calibrate the MAF to the injectors that you buy. Does this sound like a good way to go.

Well with the Turbo kit I have no idea because I'm SC but if you have a tuner that says that he can do it then go for it but if it leans out in the high RPM then go with the SCT B3000 MAF. Thats my feelings on it.

dont waste your time get a mafia extender and then buy a REAL maf once the time comes for serious power.

Yeah, I need to call on3 and ask them what MAF it is that they sell bc i don't know if it is the Lightning one or a different one.

is your bottom end built? if not 60lb injectors are too big, you are fine with 42's.

no bottom end yet. Actually no car yet even. I have the money in the back but am trying to find a car that I like around here. I live in a town of 700 people and it is about 3 hours from a "city" so I just keep browsing on the internet for the right car. I can tell you that I will be getting another GT and this time it will get a turbo kit(also have money saved up for mods). I won't have enough money within the first year or two for the built motor(at least I don't think so now) but it will come in the near future so I want to do the fuel system, etc. right the first time and not have to redo it later.
