The stock meter will peg before it becomes a restriction.

Whats your mods? Throw that $65 in the mods piggy bank and save for something worth it.

My mods are:
Edelbrock RPM 2 intake, trick flow adapter elbow, GT-40 heads, comp valve springs, bbk 70mm t-body, cai, ford racing 24lb injectors, Cam Motion custom cam

It will work but without custom tuning it will not.

For $25 more, I'd have a LMAF and peg at around 450 HP, instead of the stock Cobra MAF.

gregr1971 · Aug 31, 2009

Ok, someone explain "peg" please, Im an old carb guy, all this efi is new to me.

Venom351R · Aug 31, 2009

when a meter pegs it means it reachs 5.0v , thats the max voltage.

Save your money for something else.

Wait, how are you running 24lb injectors if you have a stock MAF? YOu have a GT right?

What do u want out of the car? Are you trying to squeek every drop of power? Trying to polish off the combo? What are your goals?

gregr1971 · Sep 1, 2009

a good solid street performer, with occasional track use.
i do have a gt, the 24's were in the car when i bought it, and i have no idea if the MAF is stock or not, it is a black plasic MAF with w a 4- bolt flange on it.

how do i tell if this car has a tune? The car pulls strong to 6200 and still not hitting the rev limiter.?
i have 2- a/f guages , one for each bank, both are running in the green until WOT, then they are running on the rich side.

BlownFiveLiter · Sep 1, 2009

If you have a chip on the J3 port of your ECU, then you have a tune. Otherwise, you can't flash the ECU, so without a chip you don't have a tune. The factory rev limiter is 6250 RPM, but if you're relying on the factory tach and it's still pulling, chances are you're somewhere in the 5500 RPM range. The factory tachometers are well known for being quite inaccurate.

gregr1971 · Sep 1, 2009

i am using an Auto meter, the factory one is approx. 400 rpm behind the auto meter.

gregr1971 · Sep 1, 2009

HA! plenty of guages

rj95svt · Sep 1, 2009

If your maf is black plastic its not stock. What are all the mods your car has? Do you have any pics of the engine or maf?

nmcgrawj · Sep 1, 2009

I would post up pictures of all parts that u dont know exactly what it is. Because u aregonna buy parts that u dont need.

I know this much, that car wouldnt run well with 24s swapped in with the stock computer and stock maf. So just investigate the parts, take pictures, and figure out whats there.

99FiveOh · Sep 1, 2009

Exactly. And what color are your injectors? IIRC, all of our stock meters were aluminum housed. Plastics ones came in later models, I know the lightning meter is plastic for sure and some later 4.6 meters were too.

gregr1971 · Sep 1, 2009

my injectors are silver with a blue top, i will get some pics this evening.
