modifying stock mass air meter

[70chvycamaro]

I was wondering I have A 1995 mustang gt 5.0 and ive heard you can cut the center vane out and drill something to make more power. any help would be great.

Don't waste your time. I've tried back to back runs at the track and saw nothing. If anything, doing what you listed will tend to lean out the car more than anything. There are more bad than good things that can come from messing with it. Ours is a lot larger than our fox body cousins and its not much of a restriction in stock/near stock setups.

Welcome to the site BTW!

I was wondering because people say you can pickup 10-12 horses and higher rmp and i was like hey best bang for the buck you know every little bit counts thanks for the help

One of the most important things in how the EEC works and controls the engine is in the maf transfer. This is very critical and need to be right on for best performance and economy for your car. So by cutting or porting you maf you change the meter which could make it differ from what the programmed maf transfer is, thus doing more harm than good. Just save up and buy an aftermarket one if you want to upgrade.

I am sure Grady can explain this better and also give you some good insite. Or......... he may tell you I am wrong but I doubt it.

yeah don't waste your time. rip out the air silencer(the rubber boot looking thingy in the fender) and call it a day...

It's fine if you get it flow tested for an accurate transfer curve.

I agree with what everybody has said here

Most important thing to keep in mind IMHO is

Stock inj's will become inadequate before the stock maf

I'd just wait until you need inj's for the maf upgrade
