To go to the land of mass air?

[DMAN302]

I have a chance to buy the FMS mass air conversion kit for alot less than the asking price of Jegs and Summit, the kit comes with Computer, maf sensor brackets tubes and jumper plate with harness. This kit is supposedly just plug and go...is it worth while to go this route or stay SD. I would chose this kit cause it is complete..piecing one together here in Canada would end up costing as much as I would have to pay for the FMS kit still in the original box.

If you plans include changes to TB, manifold, heads, wild cam or forced induction, do it. With Mass Air, any change that makes big changes in airflow or vacuum will work much better than SD without specal chips & tuning. If they don't & your SD is working fine , don't switch.

Going mass so I can do the rebuild with either Thumper package with aphabet cam and heads, or Edelbrock heads and cam "too be decided latter", or stock cam with AFR 165's....I have had some tuning problems as of late..mostly idle and I think some A/F issues ..car now has Typhoon upper lower, 65mmTB with pullies and exhaust, the motor is tired and I want to rebuild adding a little "MORE POWER" I think a conversion (been fighting idea for months) could cure and prevent some existing and future problems.

i just made the switch and for me it was well worth it.got my idle back.

If it's a good deal, go for it. That is, if you're sure the stuff is in working order.

If it is a good deal go for it. Remember that you will probably need to upgrade the meter. I'm not going to convert until I go with a stroker or blower.

You will see significant gains in the upper rpm range with a larger MAF sensor housing.....

All you need is a A9L and a mass air meter anyway.

Tweecer can tune SD cars though, and more then a few guys have run forced induction with SD.

I did the same thing back in the early 90's. Dart Jr. Heads, B303 and a Paxton. Ran low 12's at 113 mph
