You need a mass air computer, the wiring harness, and the meter. Depending on whether you go with C&L or Pro-M, you'll need a stock MAF sensor. <br /><br />I used an A9L computer, the conversion wiring harness from Pro-M's website, a C&L 76mm plumbing and sample tube, and a stock MAF sensor I bought from a CaFords member. In all, it cost around $350. If you get a used C&L, it'd be a lot cheaper though.<br /><br />Good luck. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>cobraman_1994</b> <br /><small>Member # 467</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2004,1,29,20,58,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> oh, one more thing. if you do this on a stock car it will be a little bit slower. but you can mod the car just like the maf folks. totally worth it imo <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>zpyro35</b> <br /><small>Member # 3745</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2004,1,29,22,40,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> sure, with absolutely nothing it will be a bit slower, but when you can put a better cam, heads, MAF, nitrous and s/c, you'll be a little bit faster than a speed density car <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" /> <br /><br />speed density only measures the incoming air. actually, it guesses the incoming air is more like it. it uses the MAP sensor (manifold absolute pressure) to measure the vacuum in the upper intake manifold, along with other inputs like vehicle speed and throttle position, and delivers the fuel accordingly. it doesn't have anything to do with the exhaust, so you can do whatever you want back there.<br /> <br /> <small>[ February 29, 2004, 10:43 PM: Message edited by: zpyro35 ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
