i got some work done on the stang today. Changed some header gaskets again, upgraded my small 12" E-fan to a nicer 16" fan, and put in my vortech (made by C&L) 73 mm maf for 19lbers

started fine and idles fine. I dont know what all these poeple are having problems with.. maybe its cuz i stayed with stock injectors.

no real SOTP i can tell, really havent got on it to tell yet, but i bet once i ditch the stock TB i will feel a difference.... hopefully.

also. the difference in MAF is HUGE i mean HUGE. the stock one is small compared to the 73 mm. you think the mm difference in your head. but it seemed to look alot biggger in person...

My C&L 76mm MAF was badass at WOT, you could feel a good difference(already had intake/TB). Driving around town sucked, the car bucked and would stall if I did a panic stop. I got tired and sold the C&L and bought a 70 cobra MAF. Not as much improvement as the C&L but way better the the stock 58mm.

mine does sorta the same thing... it doesnt surge but when you first start it you can hear it WHOOSH when it sucks a bit of air and then idles.
