RE: Cold Air Intake
not true about it running like crap, if you start doing alot of mods, then yes you want the maf, because it measures the air going in and tells how much fuel is needed, i wouldnt get rid of it period, its good. i have an 88 gt, i want to do the conversion but i dont want to screw something up. IMO dont get rid of the maf.

RE: Cold Air Intake
Figure this, you can run a speed density car without a maf just fine. When you have a mass air car to begin with, you can't just take off the maf and expect it to run speed density. Your computer has to be looking for the signal from your maf to do all that stuff, and it isn't there; so it runs like ****. I think the term is "closed" loop, which ever one runs on preset fuel/air/timing bs. It could be "open" I can't remember, but in any case, it's not a place you want to be in constantly.
