Default Mass air conversion

ok i've never done the mass air stuff and i want to try and i have speed density right now on my 87 gt. i need to know EVERYTHING i need to make the conversion work, like what parts and stuff. and how to get the job done. and please dont come on here and tell me to put a carb on it. yes i realize carbs are easier to tune, but thats because i've done carb motors, i want to learn how to do efi.

you need a computer either a A9L or a A9P
MAF meter, and bracket
the new tube that goes with the MAF
and a harness, you can get the harness from FRPP for 60bucks

and there are a few sensors on the intake that need switched around
dont forget the fuel pump hook up. need new wires for it.
but the harness has them

I can give you a guys name that custom my kit for my stang, with C&amp;L truflow pipe and 76mm mass air meter and and 24lbs injectors came with it. All the harnesses and computers came with it too. The FRPP, is pretty bad cause its a 55 mm mass air meter. So if you are interested and want more power let me know and I can give you his phone number.

how much did that run? sounds like a pretty good set up, plus i'm looking for some bigger injectors too. and i was gonna go with a bigger mass air meter. i need a price before i go with it though.</P>
