I swapped intakes on my 95 a little bit ago and i needed a sn95 throttle body adapter to run my setup. What would it take to switch to a fox body throttle body? aslo when i got my car tuned i am "pegging out" my pro-m bullet mass air flow sensor and was told to get a lightning mass airflow sensor. i also have a mac cai so, if anybody knows what it takes to swap a lightning mass air and a fox body throttle body it would be greatly appreciated

dude, that subject has been covered probably about a million times both here and on corral. a search will find you more info than you could ever hope for.

do you have a blower or something? what is your combo?

Do a search on the fox throttle body swap. Its been talked about several times. As for the lightning MAF, Im not sure about that.

Edit: BlackVert beat me to it.

sure sounds like you are pegging it ... congrats! you have a dang stout combo there

did you have to do anything to the pistons to keep the valves from hitting? that's alot of lift for stock pistons ...

also, what are you doing for an upper intake?

got a tuning device? and what injectors are you running? there are more than a few mass air meters out there to choose from. i have a lightening maf on mine

not too bad for most of it it is used! all the portwork and machining was done my self.
i had to cut bigger and deeper reliefs in the stock pistons for the 2.02 -1.60
i used a flycutter that goes into the valve guides of the head so i could do it incar. im running on the edge for p to v. i didnt know how thick the pistons were and i didnt want to lose any compression. as for the intake i bought a used victor jr. for a carbed application off of ebay for cheap and machined and welded it for efi. then i bought a used 90* elbow from ebay again and chopped welded and machined so it would fit under my stock hood. i just took my car to get tuned so whatever my tuner guy uses i dont know. running 30lb injectors. had 19s in when i tried to get tuned but couldnt even get a baseline it was wayyy to lean
