Its actually an 87 coupe, i think its a CHP car because it has the trunk release by the steering wheel and has holes on the piller but no 160mph speedo.How hard is it to upgrade to an 88+ MAF

I'd upgrade the mass air last. SD coupes are the fastest of all the years.
KC was running 13.1's next to stock in his 87 coupe before it got ganked! ![[burnout]](graemlins/burnout.gif)

If you have any questions about coverting the SD car to MAF, PM me. I did it in mycar a while back.

you can do all the little bolt ons with spped density. comp cams also makes a spped density friendly cam for your car. after that, your pretty much done. but your car would be pretty damn quick ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

I can second that, I bought KC's car and transferred the guts into a 4 banger coupe, it pulls HARD!

I guess it all depends on what you plan on doing to the car in the long run. If you plan on doing a heads, cam, and intake combo then I'd at least buy the mass air conversion parts first. I made the mistake of doing the heads, cam, and intake and then waiting to convert to mass air. With the H/C/I and speed density, the car idled like shit. It ran just decent under throttle, but it ran like shit when it was cold. Now with the MAF, it doesn't spew smoke at idle, it idles at 800rpm consistently (instead if idling at 1200 and jumping up as far as 2100). Basically, just think about what you're planning on doing to the car and go from there.
