I have an 2001 Cobra with a 80mm MAF and was wondering if a 2003 Cobra 90mm MAF is a direct bolt-on? I also have a BBK CAI that may or may not prevent a problem with the bolt-on. Anyone know if this will work. Will the 2003 Cobra MAF make much of a difference, or would I be better off with a C&L MAF or something similar.

Thanks.

Pretty sure the 03 MAF's are calibrated for boost. Probably not what you want on a NA motor. When I put a ProCharger on the 99 GT I had, I switched to a Lightning MAF. Gotta be upgraded 01 Cobra MAF's out there somewhere.

Good point, I didn't think of that. I guess I was just thinking of a quick Ford stock bolt-on. Probably best I use a C&L or something since the car's computer is going to plug into it.

It's not calibrated for boost...but it is calibrated for their 39 lb injectors. So you would have to swap out the injectors as well. All this and you still wouldn't see any gain in RWHP.
