TO MASS AIR CONVERSION, OR NOT TO MASS AIR CONVERSION????

[~-Ws50's916-~]

OK...I KNOW I HAVE POSTED THIS BEFORE..BUT I KEEP GETTNIG DIFF. OPINIONS. AND IM JUST CONFUSED. SO THIS IS THE LAST ONE..

WELL, AS YOU CAN SEE MY SPECS ON THE BOTTOM, I WANNA PUT ON MY TRICK FLOW, MY 70MM TB/ 70MM EGR PLATE. SOME PEOPLE SAY IF I DONT GET MASS AIR, IT WILL IDLE FUNNY, OR IT WONT RUN RIGHT. WILL IT BE OK IF I PUT ON MY TF NOW, AND JUST MASS AIRED IT LATER? WILL I GET MORE HORSES AND HAVE IT RUNNNING MORE EFFECIENT IF I MASS AIR IT? LIKE I SAID BEFORE GUYS, SORRY FOR THE POSTS OF THE SAME SUBJ. LAST TIME K THNX

I've read that you can change intakes/throttle bodies without too much issue. If you have idle problems, Ford has an idle adjuster plate you can add for less than $20 and solve your idle issues.


p.s.......CAPS LOCK is your friend....

ALRIGHT. SO I DONT NEED THE MASS AIR. IF I DO GET THE MASS AIR, WILL IT HAVE MUCH OF A HP/TORQUE DIFF.?

 

[1987stangman]

You really should have no problem with using SD system installing your intake or any other mod you listed. You should only worry when you start getting agressive on the cam. I have not yet converted to MA and really dont plan too untill later when the need comes for a new motor.

 

[~-Ws50's916-~]

ALRIGHT, I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND THAT I DONT NEED THE MASS AIR. BUT IF I HAD THE MASS AIR WITH IT, WOULD IT ADD ANY HP/TORQUE? THNX

No as stated before no...there is no performance advantage to mass air...I stated that before.

 

[FoxRod87]

you probably would gain a little hp but not enough to feel.

No if anything you'll have alittle more power with speed density, although it wont be enough to feel a difference. You can pretty much do any intake an exhaust mods with SD and be fine, with heads it will run good but the idle will start to suffer, mine idles fine untill I turn on the A/C, then the idle starts to surge pretty bad. With an aftermarket cam, as long as you get one that is speed density safe, or creates quite a bit of vacuum at idle it should be fine.

This statement is just wrong.

I went quicker with a bone stock engine and 3:55 gears with SD compared to after I converted to a MAF. Depending on where you plan to go with your engine mods should be the deciding factor to conert your car over. I knew I was going to add a blower and cam is the reason I converted. Your car will be no quicker, although my car did idle slightly better after the conversion.

mass air flow is a good idea if you are going to go to an agressive cam.
