MAF size & CAI "What to buy" questions

captinmo said:

I have a 97 GT that I am doing the PI swap on. I also have VT stage 1 cams and the C&L upper intake. I would like to put on an upgraded MAF and also a CAI. I am currently running stock injectors and do not plan to upgrade these any time soon.

I am curious what you guys recommend for a MAF. I know there are stock 80mm MAFs out there that I can get but not certain which ones will work with the 97 computer. Also I am not certain 80mm is the way to go with my set up. Need your advice.

Also I am going to add a CAI and 75mm TB. I want to do the CIA, TB and MAF all at once just before I get the engine dyno-tuned. This way it will all be calibrated correctly. Your thoughts?

You honestly don't need a new MAF for what you have now. You are no where near pegging the stock one with what you have. If you really want to upgrade i would go with a 90mm Lightning meter or an SCT2400 90mm meter. Both are good and will give you lots of room to add power. Just be warned if you add the MAF before you go to the dyno pretty good chance your car will stall majorly. I added my SCT2400 when I built my stroker and the car sputtered and stalled and would no stay running. I had to put the stocker back in until i can get it tuned. All of you other choices are good.

he dont need a MAF and even if he did a 90mm, he would have to change the whole air inlet tube and other related parts as a 80mm MAF measures 3.5" and the 90mm MAF measures 4"

save your $$ you're far, far away from needing a different MAF. my '96 run's 11.90's wth a stock 80mm MAF
