I'm really trying...but I'm going to need you to be more specific. I'm really confused on some of the things you're saying and asking.

cold air tuning ![[Confused]](confused.gif) yes you will want to stick with a mass air for 19 lb. injectors.

that's all marketing BS and lies. The factory airbox is cold-air, just run a K&N panel filter in the stock location and thank yourself for saving the $100+
also I'd say 90% + of the gain from an aftermarket MAF has zilch to do with airflow and everything to do with leaning out the mixture a tad. Something an adjustable fuel pressure regulator is capable of doing as well (for WOT anyways)

this is where I gave up.
As for injectors, I agree....stick with the 19's.
I think you mean cold air induction, not tuning.
If you must buy any of it.....
Don't buy a gms meter. Go with either a pro-m meter, or c&l. Both are good pieces, and fairly reasonable in price.

it just asks me what type of mass air flow sensor do i want with cold air tuning or without. and it also says which injector size that i am currently running. so that when i put it on it will recalibrate correctly. it reads this....
1988-93 GT/LX - 5.0L w/Cold Air Tuning, 75mm do i need to replace the thottle body with a 75mm also to match? thanks for the help.

I dont know where you're reading cold air tuning, but whatever it is, put it down and walk away. Unless that's some new technology I dont know about...they are clueless about the parts they are selling. Any meter you buy, have it calibrated for 19's.
As for matching it with a 75mm Throttle body? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Not a chance. Leave your tb alone. And at best, with more bolt ons go with a 65mm tb...TOPS! A 75 mm would absoutely ruin your cars drivablity. It's far too large for anything I'm sure you have.
Good luck! ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

Nope you guys are off on this as some mass air makers now are tuning their mass air meters to be used with a cold air intake. The reason behind this is that the makers are finding that some mass airs have difficulty with the bend present in some cold air kits. This is a new thing that I've heard of recently. I've always used Pro-M and have seen the least amount of trouble with them.

Aftermarket mass air meters are very sensitive compared to stock...These aftermarket MAF's will not pick up the air flow correctly from a 90* elbow infront of the MAF...That is why they are requiring it...

OH yeah, for your combo I'd get a 76mm C&L with the True Flow inlet pipe and a 65 Ford Racing TB and EGR plate...

Learn something new everyday
That makes perfect sense honestly. I know some systems dont like you using a fender-well mounted because of the different air flow.
Thanks
