Hello everyone. I'm new to the site. I have a question and was hoping someone on here and answer it for me. I am converting my 88GT to mass air and was wondering if an a9t would work. The guy says its out of a 93 saleen and is alrdy programmed for 24lb injectors. Will this comuter be ok?

I also was wondering if keeping it Speed Density would be ok while running an FRPP x-cam? A friend of mine said it would "idle wonder" and would be very hard to tune. Is he right? That is the reson I am considering going to mass air.

Yes your friend is right its not going to want to idle correctly on the x-cam you would have to choose a more SD friendly cam .. there are good SD cams out there !! I just installed a nx264 cam (not the best but i got a good deal on it) , ported intake , ported heads on my 88 SD car.

A9T 5.0 89-93 Mustang MAF / Auto .

I dont know what he means when he says programmed for 24lb injectors since you get a calibrated maf for that.... Im not a expert on mass air computers.

Click to expand...
An auto computer WILL work in a 5 speed but a 5 speed computer WILL NOT work in an auto, so you should be fine.
