Call jdsperformance.com and see what they'll sell it to you for. It's listed at $206, but I got mine for $159 shipped. Otherwise, look in the classifieds here or on ebaY for a good deal on a used one.

I picked up a couple of Cobra Mass Air calibrated to 24# injectors on e-bay. Now I am told that the MAF's on the Cobras send a different signal to the GT computer, so you need a GT mass air calibrated to 24# injectors for the computer to do the proper calculations. Never seen a GT computer calibrated for 24# injectors.

With a Tweecer you tell the computer what injectors you've got, and what the voltage output is for any given airflow on the MAF, so it doesn't matter if they're calibrated - the ECU manages the calculations. Pretty slick.

Now I just need to get my laptop back and my Tweecer software reinstalled.

Usually the MAF you buy has the electronics in it calibrated for X injectors. The cobra comes w/ 24# injectors, but the MAF is actually calibrated for 19's, the computer does the corrections.....

My feelings exactly!!!

I'm told now that C&L has a mass air for GT's that has interchangable air tubes for the injector you are using. That way the GT computer gets the right signal to do calculations with.

I think we need an EEC-IV expert.

Default RE: need a m.a.f. sensor

I was just bidding on a cobra MAF on ebay, good thing i was just outbid....
is it possible to calibrate a stock GT MAF for 24#ers ?
Or will i have to go get one made especially for a GT and 24#ers ?
