Well, as some of you know, im able to get something off ebay for free cuz of a friend of mine. well, i recently found out that i dont have a MAF and started questioning it. My friend (previous owner) told me it has speed density cuz its an 87. i was surprised, so now i dont need a MAF. what should i get for $100? or around that much. max $110. i dont wanna push it. If you find anything that can come in handy performance wise, plz tell me. i have a cobra intake getting installed (finishing it up today) 1.7RR which are going to be installed very soon (tomorrow) and a 65mm TB.

save up and do a mass air conversion. do a search in tech and get some info on it.

It's needed if you ever want to swap in heads or go to a better cam. speed density has a hard time compensating with certian mods, it usually gets really rich and bad idle problems and you have to tune it, which is a little more tricky than a mass air car to tune also. some food for thought.

If not open a college fund .

A friend of mine let another guy buy him a watch...

What he wanted a little while later in return was, well I'm sure some can figure it out. Needless to say my friend said no, avoids the kid, yet still has the watch, so it might work for you in the end.

$100, maybe some underdrives or real cheap headers?

Im gonna get myself a comp cam powermax with the lifters in the box for $155

be careful when you put the shaft in, use plenty of lube and dont force it. you might hurt something.

Mike, don't worry. As long as YOU stay on topic, you have nothing to fear. These other guys who can't seem to let go of the gay thing are the ones who are asking for it.

I was talking about the camshaft. make sure to use plenty of assembly lube when you insert it into the block. go slow and rotate it every so often so you dont knick a lobe.
