My 95 Stang..
I see where you guys are coming from and I appreciateyour input, and I thank you for it..but it comes back to my Uncle, he said that I am better off without out, so I just listened to him..
What else do you guys think I should do to realy make this thing a beast?
And, I know I may sound stupid, I know a decent amount but what is that bar that goes across that block called; its under the hood? and i have no idea what its called or what it does? thanks

OK
to clear things up a little.
With the MAF pulled the ECu will use the preprogrammed "best guess" fuel/spark tables. It will not adjust for ACT/ECT and will not be able to monitor air flow to the engine it could try to use adaptive from the O2 readings but I can't remember if that becomes disabled when the MAF is excluded. While it is possible that the car will run, the tune I'm sure will be ridiculously out of wack, especially if he's dropped in 42 pound injectors with no chip or tune. From the sound of your mechanic uncle (very old school) if he knows what he is doing and was good at the craft 30 years ago, I would guess he yanked the maf, put on bigger injectors (not sure why) and adjusted the fuel pressure way down so that the car didn't fall flat on its face at WOT. The 94/95 gts where very particular in terms of mods the stock comp would accept and still allow the car to run. Can't wait to see how this guy feels about trashing the MAF his first major change in temperature, or when he can't start the car after its warmed up.
I did see a guy with a 95 last year who had ridiculous amounts of work and was running a stock computer, he had to wait 30 minutes to restart his car if it was warm else it wasn't starting, he did however have an aftermarket ignition and adjustable fuel regulator which he had dialed in for WOT, so at least he wasn't going to blow the engine.
My recomendation... put the maf back in and get a chip burned for a few hundred alot safer and more reliable, then you an start worryinng about maxing out your MAF!

I do plan on purchasing a new chip, because I know how much they really do make teh engine better compared to the stock system..Do you guys recommend any particular brands for the chip?
I now understand what you guys mean about teh MAF sensor and I will talk to my Uncle this weekend about it.
Any other recommended mods?

And agree with the folks above: It is a scientific cerainty that if you take out the MAF, and you'll be lucky to be able to accelerate at all (limp home mode should engage). Do you know what the MAF is, by the way? Maybe your uncle took out something else?
Thanks for clearing up the strut bar thing..I talked to my Uncle and I misiterpreted him, he took out the "screen" as he says in the MAF not the MAF itself..sorry for the mix up

And,
Thanks for clearing up the strut bar thing
Thanks again for your help, guys, and don't worry I have been getting greasy with him, he doesn't let me do anythying, lol, but I watch and learn a lot from him, hopefully I can make my mustang as insane as his 650 hp Chevelle..haha doubt it but you never know.. Thanks again for all your help guys
