I just bought a 90mm Lightning MAF and I think I had a brain fart when I bought it. I obviously now know I need to modify something somwhere. Has anyone run this MAF without switching to a cold air intake? I'd love to retain the stock air box if at all possible.

I was thinking like some flanges on each side to do the reduction/expansion but I wasn't sure how I would seal it or where I would find them. Plus the plug is slightly different, the pins look the same just from a glance. The only major difference is the connector itself... am I right? I could have sworn the Lighning was a 6 pin but looking in it I only see 4 pins.... am I crazy?

Please advise!

The MAF will not work properly without a Tweecer or custom chip tune. The transfer curves (voltage output compared to airflow) are very different from the stock 5.0 MAF.

Yes sir, I already knew that. But I need to get it on so I can have it ready for the dyno tune on Monday. I've already got a chip in the computer for my old 76mm MAF but right now I'm running the stock MAF cause the 76mm took a dump on me. The software is already in there for a different MAF, now I just need to get the 90mm on and get it tuned exactly for it. Only issue I'm having is fitment.

Anybody ( ya know, anybody being the 2 people who actually are reading this lol ) know where I coul get that "CFM" adapter he's got on that one in the picture? Otherwise I will have to modify the MAF and get rid of that part so I have just the circle.

I don't know much about the Lighting MAF but you might try this place for the adapter http://www.kustomz.com/components.html but not sure if they make one quite that big.
