Default Need A Mass Air Sensor

Is the Summit brand mass air sensor any good? It has been years since I needed to buy one. I need one for my wife's 94gt. What brands does everyone prefer??

Just don't buy a C&l, they're mechanically calibrated and tend to have issues over other brands which use electronic calibration and work nicely! Reason I know this.. unfortunate experience...

That 94/95 cobra mass air wont work for me because I have the GT computer. On 94-95the calibration is in the computer not the sensor like the 89-93. I have checked ebay and they only have stock/cobra meters.
I see in Jegs that the Pro-M meters have one for Cold Air and a regular one. Is there a big difference in calibration in them?

are you seriously arguing with me about a MAF sensor and the way they are calibrated???

the 94-95 cobra and GT run the same exact MAF... the 3.8l v6 uses the same ****ing piece as well

also, the calibration is in the COMPUTER for ALL ford MAF cars... when you buy an aftermarket "calibrated" sensor... the sensor puts out an altered voltage to make the car think its getting less air in, which decreases the injector pulse width, and then your larger injectors dont inject too much fuel!


I'm running a "fox 24# calibrated" maf in my car right now. Since my ECM is already factory tned to run 24# injectors, my maf is actually instrusting my computer to inject 20% less fuel than if it was running the stock maf... which alows me to run a set of 30# injectors, with no ill side effects

buy the maf I linked, and dont ever argue with me about maf caibrations AGAIN
