    lightning MAF adapter for stang?

    i hear they are a bit of a pita to tune even though you can make them work. a friend had one on a procharged car, shop couldnt get it perfect with it on the car. put a pro-m on and all was perfect. might want to just spend the extra money. or get his old one recalibrated if its aftermarket.
