Default Mass air conversion

I just bought the ford racing mass air conversion kit and a9l to convert my car to maf. It has a pig tail that comes out of the comp for the mass air. Do I haveto splice anything still or everything setup so its just plug it in and go. Anyone that has used the ford racing kit any help would be great. Also what maf should I buy, my car makes power currently to 5800rpm and I don't want to choke it. I'm still using 19# injectors. PMAS looks good? I don't want to use C&L.

I'm pretty sure that the kit comes with a computer, a harness, a intake tube, and the MAM w/ sensor. The harness runs from the MAM to the computer connector. you have to remove the SD computer, and switch them out, and yes you still have to splice wires. its pretty easy though. i ran the wires through the rubber grommet on the passenger side of the firewall where the other EEC wires are. i poked through the top left quadrant with a flathead screw driver, and ran the wires down one at a time with a coat hanger that i taped them too. then you splice to wires, move 2 wires, and add 2 connections. then run the wire from the FPM to the connector. that's all i did.

You wouldn't happen to have the directions for the kit would you? I bought the kit used and only got the computer and harness. I think I'm gonna buy a 80mm pmas sensor for the car.

Dimebag sd is alright but I hate sitting at a light and my car starts surging badlyand people asking me why my car keeps reving. You can still make power with sd but you loose your idle quality.

I also picked up a 2 stage nx nitrous kit today.
