[Shotimes] MAF connector question

[Paul L Fisher]

What you say makes sense, however, Ted Breaux, who does the LPM tuning 
(basically a chip) for SHO's recommends the 80mm Ford unit because he says he 
has better control. You would have to ask him the details behind it unless 
others on the list know.
