[Shotimes] MAF connector question

[Jonathan Zane KC2ENA]

Ummm, Dude that's exactly is how C&L sells them and that's exactly what you
are supposed to do. http://www.cnlperformance.com/maf.html  Vortech
re-badges C&L MAFs, they must be doing something right.  Ask them if it's
"way messed up".  And my SHO runs perfect with the Cobra MAF and stock
sensor.  I'll bet If I bought a C&L housing calibrated for 19 LB injectors
(stock) on Mustang, put on my stock sensor it would run perfect too.  The
meter housing would be set up for stock air flow.  Remember what I said,
calibration at the meter is not how ford compensates for larger injectors,
this is how the aftermarket companies make it easy for joe nobody to change
their injectors.  Stock mustang and stock SHO housings are identical in
every way shape and form.  I have them both, and have examined them
carefully.
