C&L MAF is in!!
 
I put in my CAI/80mm MAF from C&L today. The company claims 16rwhp on an otherwise stock GT. I think that is quite tough to believe, but I DEFINITELY did feel a noticeable gain!! The car feels like it's breathing a lot easier and revs much more freely. Probably picked up a nice gain over the entire band. Overall, I'm very pleased with it and I would recommend it for other GT's.

I was thinking of getting the C&L meter also. Is it just the MAF or is there anything else included? About how much did yours run?

recently added a c&l to my 98
 
i also just added a c&l 80 mm unit to my 98 gt,it came with a new conical k&n the meter which u put the stock sensor back in i might add and a plastice heat sheild, i also noticed a postive difference. has anyone here used this in conjunction with a 70 or 75 mm throttle bodie i was thinking of upgrading that too but i am still skeptical of the 6-12 horse power gain claimed by bbk.also one more thing about the c&l.... if u hold it up beside the stock unit and compare you will laugh at the stocker,the stock one looks sick in comparison,and it took me about 10 minutes to install

black281:

The kit comes with a conical K&N filter (much bigger than the one's you buy at the auto stores) a heat shield, and the 80 mm MAF. It took about 10minutes to install, like japslaya said, and I felt quite a noticeable gain.

Japslaya:

I also have a 70mm Throttle Body that Im gonna put in whenever I get off my lazy butt. I'll let you know if I feel anything from that part. Later.

Question; if you install bigger injector and 75-80 mm throttle bodie do you have to have your computer chip re-adjusted.
And what if you decide to install a supercharger do you once again have to have the computer calibrated.
I know that there are places that will sale you a chip according to the parts you installed but do you have to send the chip back everytime you install something new?

I just installed the C&L 80mm MAF. What I can say is that I felt a noticeable difference. The car defintely pulls harder from 3000RPM on up. It also makes a cool sucking sound as it draws more air in. I felt that it was a worth while mod.

Hey Rocket99GT
 
I have heard that if you put bigger injectors in that you have to get your MAF recalibrated, the manufacturer usually charges a nominal fee for this. As for the computer I think it should be fine, unless you already have one custom made for your current configuration, then you might have to get it updated.

C&L's been good to me since 98'...congrats.

Rocket: in other words, the sample tube has to be replaced to match injector size..not a biggie.

I am going to upgrade the MAF on my car along with the injectors, underdrives and timing advance from Steeda. I use the factory intake box, except it has a large hole in the top of it where it's been converted to a ram intake from the hood. This new C&L or the Pro-M, you think i can get them to fit onto the boxes output to the MAF, or would I have to resize the hole? I can prob get something to make the adjustment, I have a large selection of tools here at the house, and I know a lot of people that do custom fabrication. I would just rather not have to call on them to do it. I want to do it myself. Thanks for any input.!!!
