Anyone here know anything about a 2001 lightning mass air? There is a local guy selling a brand new one for $100. Just looking to see if they are blow-through or draw-through and what injectors they are calibrated for. Also, would it even work on my 95 gt? Thanks

The lightning MAF is setup up for 42lb injectors, and using the MAF as a Blow-through. Your going to need an adapter for your SN95 and probably a chip. Here ya go

yep, it's a draw through. Lightnings have a roots type supercharger so the air is being sucked through the meter and the meter is right after the filter.

Lightning meters ar NOT set up for any injector size - that's done in the EEC. They are used as draw through MAFs - but can be used as blow through - but they peg sooner in that configuration. You DO need a chip to run an LMAF.
