Don't waste your $$. If all you have is a CAI for mods, the MAF is fine. Everyone is gonna get all over this post, but unless you are really putting some HP down, your stock MAF is fine. My car is around 360 RWHP and 480 RWTQ and I still have my stock MAF. Ford does an okay job on their air/fuel electronics, so just leave it for now.

RE: mass air meter

I was planning on getting the tunable induction because it included the 85mm MAM but i could use the extra money for some other mods if I just got a K&N intake. I plan on getting an air intake, gears, pulleys, and maybe a TB and plenum. So would a MAM make that much of a diff. with those mods or not?

RE: mass air meter

Like I said, I would spend the $$ somewhere else. My other GT has a Vortech w/DSS forged shortblock, 42lb injectors, etc, etc. Now on that car, yes, I have a 90mm MAF. But, it's a stock Lightning MAF. So, to reiterate, Ford has pretty good electronics straight from the factory. Unless you are going forced induction of some kind, keep your $$.
