Thanks that helps alot! Do you know if i can use a truck MAF or a super coupe one?
you could try one off a truck, but the t-bird is gonna be different since it's made for the 36's or the 30's.
but i'd say to get a new maf like a c&l thats calibrated for the 24's just pull the sensor off the top of your current one and throw it in the new housing. it's not the actual sensor that effects it, it's the ammount of air it samples in an aftermarket maf. so if you ever wanted to change the injectors you buy a $20 tube to bolt in that c&l housing

doesnt really matter, injectors last a long time. normally you dont hear of them being replaced cause they're dead, people just want bigger ones.
clean out some from a junker and throw 'em in and they'll be fine

ya agreed you would probably be fine, just would suck for 1 of those to not flow right, the car to lean out, and 5-6 grand down the tube...

im one of those safe then sorry guys after a few mistakes i made that cost me some money, but in retospect a new injector could fail too

if u are using used injectors it would be best to spend the few bucks to have them flow tested at a shop it only cost me like 12 bucks 2 years ago and a rebuilt kit for them is only 20 bucks so save yourself a future problem/headache.
