im not questioning what you are saying about the maf thing, just wondering if you could explain a little more. are you saying with a bov vented to the atmosphere you need a blow through maf?
thanks

Yep, you hit the nail right on the head. The bypass is used with a draw-thru MAF, blowoff is used with a blow-thru MAF, because you cannot vent metered air to the atmosphere, your car will run pig, pig rich. However, in a speed density car or (non-maf) then you can(I believe) run a blow off valve since there is no metered air. I am not sure if the OP is MAF? Not to get off topic, but Kyle, did you get your car running properly?

no not yet haha,
Got the header at the shop getting a bung welded in for wideband, got new plugs (just have to put them in), got my msd 6al ignition box almost hooked up. and then ill be ready

i havnt been able to work on it due to school. I have my spring break coming up next friday so it should run then!!!! lol

Awesome, I hope everything works out. I am going to the 1/8th strip Friday and hoping for an 8.0 or lower. We'll see. Also, are you Tweecer'ed, since your getting a wideband?

nope no tuner yet, will probably be getting a PMS system from anderson ford motorsports

And i think i figured out my problems lol i never hooked up a the bypass, so basically i was just using it as a bov oops
Slight problem i have is the fact that the hook up spot for the bypass tube (from bov to power pipe) was moved and is in a funky position now

PMS is supposed to be good, just a bit pricey. Yep, an unhooked bypass valve would make your car run like crap. Let's hope that is the problem. Anyway, good luck and hopefully your car will be running great soon.
