Default C&L accurate?

http://www.cnlperformance.com/76mm_94-95cobra.html WTH thats crazy if you look at the dyno. It says its on a basically stock 95GT auto. I can believe it cause the stock numbers arent that high but that is a nice improvement in performance. Do you guys believe it?

HEY GUYS WITH C&L Is the chip on the top of the MAF the same as the stock, as in the screw holes and such? Cause I can get the one for 19lb injectors or for 24lb injectors and it would be the same price. Now if it is the same size then I will get the one for 24lb injectors but just switch the 19 on until I need the 24's. Or is it something else?

Thats prolly after a tune. Im sure they just stock a C&L on there and got those result. They prolly put it on there and then tuned it, its all in the tunning.

i dunno if i believe that or not. i guess it could be true. I've been reading about C&L meters for the past few weeks on mustangtuning.org i think, and a few guys made charts of all the calibration tube diameters. they're showing that some of C&L not holding their tubes to a very tight margin of error or what, but that would explain why a lot of people hate C&L meters.

As for the performance, I put a 73mm maf on my stock 90 GT along with pulleys, CAI, and no air pump.. I definatly felt a change with it on. It accelerated a lot quicker and felt like it had alittle more torque. They're pretty tempremental meters though.

Yes the electronics are from the stock unit.
It bolts up the same.
Yes, it will work w/ many injector sizes by changing the flow tube to match injector size.

Ok so you have to change the flow tube not the electronics yes? Also what else is out there other then C&L when it comes to this type of intake? I want to explore more. I dont want JUST the MAF I want a whole assembly like they have.
