Can I install new MAF without a tune? HELP!!

[jrd699]

I currently have stock MAF, I have an SCT MAF sitting in a box for the car. Question is can I install without a retune? Thanks for the help......John

Anybody? ...please...... I'll give you a cookie ;-)

NO!

The MAF transfer will not be correct, and the PCM will not be able to correctly determine the amout of air entering the engine.

The SCT MAF and stock MAF BOTH have 90mm housings, so nothing will be gained by swapping them, unless you need the added range of the electronics of the SCT MAF.

Thanks! You saved me again, I owe you a few beers next trip to the springs! I will install before tune, right?

 

[ugotbit03]

No big deal. :beer:

Yes, you would want to. I'm surprised your stock MAF is not pegged now.

What is your pulley combo?

2.3 Whipple with stock lower, 3.0 upper.... I would imagine the stock is about pegged, I want to do a race tune also, figured I would get the MAF out of the way now.. Now I have to find a tuner.... I know u told me, but I will ask again anyway! Who!!!!!!!!!

Adam is the guy to talk to.

If you want to go mail order, I've had great luck with Don LaSota

SCT; Tuning guides; LaSota Racing Ford Tuning Index

ETA- I would also suggest Kevin @ Wicked, but that's a bit of a drive for you.

Awesome! Let me know how it goes!

It has a mafia, and the car was tuned with a different intake. I guess Dave put that intake in. Sometimes when you change the intake it can mess with your a/f. Sorry I have been busy I will hit you up soon.
