What MAF to run?

[Guero]

My mods are in my sig. So whats the best MAF to run? I want to run a Ford maf like of a lighting or something no aftermarket ones.

Im kinda lost on which MAF and Pigtail to get.. Thanks

A Ford Lightning MAF is going to take a computer flash to calibrate it for the injectors (~$100 plus cost of flash). If I am going that route I am gonna get a MAF that I won't peg, like an SCT as well as a dyno tune (about $900 total or $300 for the MAF plus cost of flash). The alternative and probably the logical choice for your combo is to just get a Pro-M calibrated for the 42's (~$200 Ebay). What do you got against aftermarket MAF's?

Cuz I would prefer a Ford one, and are easier to calibrate I think. I doubt I will peg like a 90mm Lighting MAF. But I dont think I need one that big.


Forfot On my SIG that I have a Tweecer R/T

The SCT, or Lightning meter are both going to require the same amount of tuning. Wes's site (tunexchange) has calibrations for both meters on it, for free. You just need to load the one of choice onto the TwEECer and you're good to go. The SCT meter would be a lot harder to peg than the Lightning. I was in the same boat as you and was recommended the SCT by multiple people.

Using a chip or programmer just to use a certain meter is senseless and costly.
That's the reason why you rarely see anyone with a foxbody using an sct or lightning/cobra meter.

I believe my 2000 Lightning came with 42# injectors. The plug will be different though.

It did....but....OEM MAF's are calibrated via the computer.

But If I already the programmer it wouldnt be senseless and costly.

Good point, i didn't see that you already had a tweecer.
Nevertheless, i'd still run a pro m or pmas.
