the calibration for the injectors is contained within the cobra ecm = 24's not 30's

pretty much cause the ecm is calibrated to be used with 24's ...there may be another way with the use of a special maf..places like pro-m can do some tricky stuff to make combos work but I'm not to sure in this case

Like MJ said...... the Cobra ECM with a 30# calibrated MAF would be ~ the same as having the Cobra ECM with 19# injectors..... keep in mind that the MAF "calibration" is done based on the 19# injectors ECM logic....... not the Cobra.

Did I miss something?

You have a Cobra ecu (x3z), a 93 Cobra MAF, and 24Lb injectors???

IF you really do have those parts, then that is what you should run with the x3z.....

The prom MAF can get ebay'd... it is useless to you now....


I'm pretty heavy into a 6pack though... maybe I'm confused...
