Default Installed the LMAF and SCT Chip w/ Pics

Finally got around to installing the 90mm MAF and tuned computer chip. The throttle response has increased and it sounds a lot more angry. The idle doesn't hunt at all but it's idling a touch high right now, gotta work on it a li'l. Here are some before/after pics; yes I know it's a lil dirty.

Old intake setup:


SCT Chip:


Lightning MAF:


Whole deal:

Nice, so what kind of tune is it?

You got one of the coolest cars on here. ( Fast, clean, sweet sounding, black SN95 -- that combo is hard to beat.)Plus it's a Cobra.

Just has my engine combo burned on it, it wasn't tweaked on a dyno or anything. It has a lot of timing advancement, all the detuning that went into the SN95s was removed (there's a TON of stuff), EGR was turned off, temps for the fan to turn on was lowered, etc etc. he went through so many charts my head was spinning, the guy knows his chit. And as always thanks a lot for the compliments

Great choice. I originally wasn't going to use the LMAF because of what it takes to install it but the tuner highly recommended it, it's his favorite MAF. It has a ton of power potential, obviously pretty large, reliable and very accurate. 4" tube is huge though...

So was the chip pre programed and you installed it or did a tuner do it? Specifics man, specifics!! I see you have the multi tune chip like mine. Do you have more than one tune?

The tuner programmed the chip for my setup, it started blank and he went through my whole setup and wrote it to the chip. As of right now it has one tune on it, #3 is a tune for a different car. Reason for this is you put it on #3, turn the ignition on (don't start it) for a few seconds and it erases the computer. Then you turn it to the tune you want and start the car. It fires so good right now

You really cant beat OEM parts for MAF's, Coils and distributors

4" power pipe will be needed for the 7,000rpm 347 going into the Mamba
