It might not be that the MAF can't read that much air but that the air it's trying to read doesn't flow correctly into the MAF. That the air flow is disturbed. I've read that this is a problem with some aftermarket cold air ducts.

You can try re-clocking the MAF with your CAI but honestly... There really isn't a better CAI for a Fox than the stock one with the silencer removed... Unless you're running some 80-90mm inlet tract.

Hey guys wanted to give you a update. Change some more vaccum lines just to be on the safe side. Change the intake manifold gaskets and the fuel pressure regulator. Put new o2 sensor and recheck timing. Started it up took it for drive same thing so I took the cold air intake off and put the stock back on. And it was a total diffrent car. Guess the stock maf can't read that much air so I'll have to upgrade but thanks for your guys help.

Like the last two posts touched on the stock CAI is about as good as it gets. If you removed the stock air box and installed a filter directly on to your MAF with the air filter now located in the engine compartment then all you did was changed it from a true cold air intake to a hot turbulent air intake. The stock setup draws cold outside air which is what you want. You want some distance between the air filter and the MAF to smooth out the air flow before entering the meter.

Glad you figured it out!

Yeah i did not think it wold ether. I can't remember the brand off the top of my head. But it's real close to a BBK as far as size and shape and how it goes together I bought it off American Muscle. Check to see if it was leaking around the maf could not find leak anywere. So I'll put it back on when I upgrade to new maf and throttle body and intake.
