is it gonna make a difference

dragstang86 · 02-13-2003, 06:58 PM

With the combo in my sig will putting a 76 mm c&L maf sensor going to make a noticable difference? If im not going to pick up at least a tenth or a tenth and a half in the 1/4 ill spend the money on something else for now. About how much horsepower and what kind of 1/4 time do you think i should be able to get out of my car as it is right now? Tracks are closed so i just wanna get an idea.

thanks for the help

I feel like a ***** in church to reply to a MAF question. But I am here so this is my .02. Buy the one with the plastic body, it is usually cheaper, and yes I think you will see a gain.

On a stock 302, saying you'd get a tenth or more gain from just the meter change would be pushing it a little bit maybe, but in your case, I would bet you'd see atleast 2 tenths, if not even more.

Your engine is trying to breathe alot more now with the intake, heads, and exhaust opened up so well now, but it is unable to because of that tiny stock MAF.

Have you ever taken a look through a stock 5.0L MAF? I dont see how a lawnmower to have to breathe through that thing, not to mention an AFR headed mustang!
