it will let the computer adapt to changes you make, mass air cars measure the actual amount of air entering the motor,

the speed density computer you have now uses fuel tables programmed in the computer to control the injectors and other sensors, and it uses load to metermine how much fuel to add.

it will alow you to make a lot of modifcations to your car like heads cam intake and will adjust its self right now you are limited to maybe a intake and a very mild cam befor you have problems with teh way your car runs.

just look on the intake tube, and if theres a black sensor there its a cali model, if he converted it he would have put heads and a cam in it by now
