Lightning MAF Sensor?

[mustangman9812]

If I get a Lightning MAF sensor for my stang will it work? And how do I calibrate it? I know I prob dont need it right now but all the little things help!

Leave your MAF alone...

Agreed w/ Kilgore

however, get an SCT when the time comes

No need to upgrade to the L-MAF. If it's the earlier 80mm version....there's really no advantage at all and you're engine can't possibly utilize the additional airflow in N/A trim that a 90mm will provide. You’ll end up with better results spending the money you save not buying the meter, on a dyno tune as an alternative. Another suggestion would be a 75mm T/B and accompanying elbow. It’s going to cost you a little more than the MAF would, at least you get some real results from it.

Actually either LMAF is going to require a tune to run it anyway, since the curves are different. So by the time he paid for the MAF and the tune, the t/b and elbow may be cheaper.

This is true, good memory. I forgot about the need for the correct "transfer function" programming needed on top of the meter itself in order to make it work.
