Default MAF Question

I need to buy a new MAF for my stang. I have had a 70mm throttle body and a trickflow street heat intake on for quite sometime and forgot about changing the maf meter to a bigger one. On ebay theres cobra 70mm ones. What MAF sensor would I see most performance gains on if I have those two mods. The rest of my mods are underneath my post in the signature.


Thanks

Get a 94/95 mustang MAF from a 3.8 or 5.0. It is 70mm and can be had for around $30 off ebay.

that one has bolt holes on one side, it wont work on my car. i'm just going to buy a cobra one. its around the same price too

i just wanted to make sure that i had to match the MM's and get the 70.

what would a 76mm c&l do for the car? would it be better?

Don't expect huge HP gains from a new MAF or huge differences in HP from one MAF to the next. The real difference comes in accuracy, which affects tuning. You're not going to get 10hp from one and 50 from the next. A MAF is more of a supporting mod... something needed when your airflow gets too high and the stock MAF is ither too restrictive or the stock MAF pegs at 5v.

Yes, and that it what I am running, you will just have to buy an adaptor. For some reason I am thinking you can't run the 93 cobra MAF with your computer..not really sure.

I also believe this to be correct

The injectors aren't programmed to the MAF on factory parts

on the ebay ad it said programmed and calibrated for 19# injectors..


im not expecting the car to be a rocket but it just feels very sluggish now, and i think that is due to fuel starvation
