Converting to mass air is tricky. Doesnt always work, SD is only good to about 300 hp ive heard. I would say by a new ECU from ford, bout 600 bucks but is suppose to be good.

this kit from FRPP is what you need to get http://www.fordracingparts.com/parts...rtKeyField=935

you can get this kit from Summit or many other Mustang parts retailers for less than the FRPP retail price if you look around some.

I got a complete computer wiring harness, meter, and A9L computer from eBay for $225. This will be a little tricky to swap the harnesses and since I need a VSS sensor, but it's better than the other frankenstien kits they sell for $70...for just he mass air meter harness. I figure since the harness I got is Ford it'll work fine and I won't have to swap any pins in the computer connector. The $600 kit is a lot simpler than swapping entire harnesses but I couldn't justify the $600.

the FRPP kit is just a plug and play deal and there's almost no way you can mess up using it so it's probably worth the $600 IMO.

Especialy if you are a novice at working on cars. Pay the money and make it easy. You could go the cheap route at 1st then screw something up and it will cost you more than the 600 bucks in the end.
