    Anyone running these? Everyone seems to have an opinion on MAF and what to get.

    Based on my experience with Summit brand products, I'd advise against it... I bought a distributor, the Summit one, and it went bad within 2 months of install... Installed professionally even. Luckily, they're great with returns. They took the product back and credited my credit card, no questions asked.

    From looking at your sig

    I don't think you'd gain power from a meter change at this time

    I don't know anything about that meter

    Agreed. You may be at what a stock Cobra puts down, MAYBE, and they had plenty of room to spare using that same stock MAF.

    I just gotta think you really don't wanna hear that :chair:

    But ... Really ... I'd stash that green toward going to the next step

    That is if you wanna make more power :shrug:

    If goin the NA route

    There is not much you can do with any ONE mod that is gonna make
    all that much difference :(

    Yes ... you will need a meter to go to the next step
    but
    The meter is just one of many which will be needed

    Ya kinda sorta need this other stuff to go along with that meter

    larger inj's
    heads
    cam

    Bottom line would be ...............

    None of the 4 above would work all that great without the other 3 :Word:

    Grady I was asking the question following up to your response to my intake spacer question in the tech section where you told me i would need to upgrade injector size with the H/C/I swap i am doing. So i figured might as well go bigger MAF that is designed for bigger injectors i will need.

    Can you elaborate on what went wrong with your Summit distributor? I just had one installed in my Stang last week so I hope you were just unlucky. It's billet aluminium and it does look very well made. I've also had a Summit Racing throttle body for over 2 years and that's a very nice quality piece.

    I have the black plastic 75mm Summit MAF for 24# injectors.
    Works just as good as the stocker with the 19# inj.

    All that generic stuff is made by someone else. It's just like when you go to the grocery store and look at the boxes. If the Great Value box of Mac and Cheese looks like the Kraft brand, and the box is the same dimensions, then it's probably made by Kraft. And on the bottom of the box it says "Compare to Kraft." Just look at the Summit MAF, and see what other MAF it looks like, and that's probably who makes it. If that MAF looks like a PMAS for example, then it probably is a PMAS, and of equal quality. And on that note, my laptop just dinged letting me know my installation software is ready. So hopefully my next post will be made with Linux operating system, and I can finally be rid of the tyranny of Microsoft.

    FWIW, the Summit Racing billet aluminium distributor and their throttle body are made in China. Does that automatically mean they're bad? Not necessarily. Like I said earlier, both look very well made so Summit may have strict quality control on any product that's going to bear their name, including their MAF.

    This is my first post from Linux. I try to avoid anything made in China, but just about everything is made there now. There are a few things well made in China, but for the most part it's a crapshoot.
