Default Cobra computer and maf

Would my car run any better with a Cobra computer and MAF? It currently has the stock AOD computer (car has a t5 now) and a Granatelli MAF for the 24# injectors.

I already have a Cobra computer but its not in the car because it ran like crap with it in with the Granatelli maf. I was told I need the Cobra maf with the Cobra computer.

I found a '93 Cobra MAF on ebay that Im considering buying. I emailed the seller and the part # on the sensor is F1SF- thats a real Cobra part, right?

Mod list for my car here: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2442696

I already have the ecm though. Even then the Cobra MAF isnt worth getting?

I might tune it this year but I might not be able to until next year. Im waiting to see what the current repairs its undergoing are going to cost.

Personally, I like the X3Z.
You get 24's with STOCK drivability and Decel Fuel Shutoff.

The F1SF is the right number for the 93 Cobra, just make sure the housing is right... ebay is full of sketchy MAF sellers.

Will you see a power gain?
Hard to say... as that depends on how far out of whack your current MAF is putting things.

At the very least, recheck your fuel pressure and timing if you do make the ecu change.

good luck,
