Hey fellas, just wondering will a lightning 90mm mass air flow meter fit with a mac cold air intake? And are 42lb injectors mandatory or can I use 30lb's?

Click to expand...

I would not know about the cai thing

All Ford oem mafs do not fall in the category of the maf is caled for certian size inj thing
or
Cheat mode as some call it

That maf does happen to be able to support air flow that 42lb inj's would typically be used with

You could use that maf with 30's but you would have to get inside the pcm

You will need a chip or you will run way to lean. The best set up I found was a C&L pipe a 3.5" to a 4" adapter (I got from race part solutions www.racepartsolutions.com ) and a 96 gt C&L filter and shield (the filter is a super tight fit) at lest thats what I did. You probably could use a adapter on the mac coldair but I think you would have to fab something up for an airfilter. As final5-0 said you can get the tune on the chip for the injectors. Also you will need a lightning mass air harness, or a lightning harness adapter from http://www.musclemotors.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=1066&HS=1 I do have this Lightning harness adapter sitting in my room I will be willing to sell for a lot less if your interested? Here is a link from when I did the swap http://forums.stangnet.com/showthread.php?t=608796&highlight=lightning+mass+air hope this helps. Pm me if your interested in the lightning mass air adapter.
