I plan on getting a bigger MAF sometime soon (probably the C&L 76 w/elbow) and I was wondering how to get the sensor off of the base of the stock MAF. Or does the C&L come with a new one? All the pictures doesn't show one on it. Reason I ask is because the bolts holding the sensor on are some kind of weird torx bolt with a raise right in the middle where the socket would fit down in. You know how they are. ????????? Some help guys? Thanks.

A trip to the auto parts store for some tamper proof torx bits (about $6-$9) fixes your problem.

C&L mass air meters use stock sensors, the only thing that they change is the size of the oraface tube... the sensor is really easy to get off, you just need the right tool, take the meter with you to a parts store where they sell tools and find what you need, simple as that. Mine were just torx screws.

I wonder how they calibrate the meters if they use the stock electronics. I got an 80mm from a 4.2L and swapped in my electronics. I was running low 15's at the track that day, when I switched to the 80, I ran 16.2 @ 88.

C&L use different size sample tubes depending on the size of the injectors not the size of the Mass Air Meter...

When I got my C&L 73mm a couple years ago it came with the bit to remove the old electronics...
