i talked to a mustang tuner buddy who owns a mustang shop where i live. today and he checked my car, told me what he thought was wrong with it and called around and got the same answer from another tuner and from a vortech engineer.

to give you an idea of what my car is doing is in second gear... and early third the car lunges kinda like hops forward and back a bit under medium thorttle, WOT is fine i guess surging would be another word for it.

my car is a 2001 supercharged bullitt with paxton novi1000

basically they said because i have a kit thats demanding so much air and im still using my stock 80mm MAF its causing the engine to kinda choke in a way making it lunge, so they ordered me a 90mm lightning maf thinking this would fix it... sound right?

Sounds fishie to me. How could it run fine at WOT if there is an air shortage?
I'd call Paxton, 888-9-PAXTON (toll free).
