Help me with Cold Air Intake for my 88 GT!!!

Antnydude47 · 04-17-2005, 09:15 AM

Hey, im not to good w/ this whole Cold air intake but i get what it does basically. If im trying to buy one for my 1988 GT, i found some online that are for 1986-1988 mustangs. The problem is....EVERY ONE of them comes with two options....Mass Air Flow Sensor....or NO mass air flow sensor.....what does this mean? I know that some of the foxbody mustangs have Mass Air flow and some had speed density. Does anyone know if an 88 GT has MAF?? And i also need help with buying the intake with the Sensor or without it. HELP ME!

OK, FIRST THING EASE OFF THE CAPS LOCK, ITS GENERALLY CONSIDERED "SHOUTING".

*Ahem* To answer your question, an 88 will be a speed density car, which does not use an MAF. You can buy accordingly.
Hope it helps,

ok thanks..and also..if i were to get the Mass Air Conversion...then if i got cold air intake..would it be wise to get the MAF sensor with the Cold air intake?

The MAF doesn't come with the CAI, the CAI is merely designed and fabricated to accomodate a MAF. If you do the mass air conversion, you'll have to buy all the MAS components individually or as a complete kit. Generally, a cold air intake system is not part of the MAS conversion kit.
