The Cobra MAF is already calibrated for 19's

It's the cobra computer that changes the calibration for the 24's

Are you sure on that? I put the cobra on there and it ran awful.. no power at all. I put my stock one back on it and it was a world of difference. Has to be a difference there???

Yup i'm sure. The calibration lies in that junky computer.

Take the electronics off your stock meter, and put them on the cobra meter. Perhaps the electronics are bad.

I had a Cobra MAF (70mm) and 24s and the car seemed to run the same with the 24s and the 19s... shouldnt there have been issues (these parts are long gone, just looking for info).
