I have a 88 LX with a 327 stroker in it and am installing mass air at the moment and was wondering what was the best ecu to use? I heard that a 93 Cobra one was the best? Is this true? Is an auto ecu better than a manual? Im running a 24lb injectors and I believe my mass air is 75mm...

Thanks,

Get either an A9L or A9P

The only reason to use the X3Z is if you want to use 24lb injectors and a stock Ford MAF.
The advantage of the the Ford MAF is accuracy. There is a much smaller risk of MAF related issues when using a Ford meter, as compared to an aftermarket unit.

If you are not going to use the Cobra MAF/MAS, then there is no advantage to the x3z.

You will be able to find an A9* computer quicker than an x3z.
There are some ignition timing differences between the A9L and A9P, but you won't feel the power difference.

Are you looking to tune the ECU or just install one. Which trans are you running Auto or 5 speed?

I have a tremec t5 which is bolted to a 327 stroker motor. Im going to get it dyno tuned and get a custom chip burned for it but its not mass air at the moment so Im doing to conversion and just wondering whats best to use for the computer...

A9L

This way you won't have any issues getting the car to run, so you can actually drive it to the tuner.
The custom tune will allow any injector and MAF combo you can dream up.
For getting the car to the dyno, just find a stock 55mm 'F1ZF' MAF/MAS and run the 19lb injectors. Once the car is at the shop, they can install the new MAF and injectors. OR make sure the MAF is calibrated for the injector/computer.

WTF !?!?

A standalone is not required to run an LMAF.

When running an X3Z, there is nothing wrong with a 93 Cobra MAF.

A9L, A3M, A3M1, D3D1 all the same, anyone will work.
