Sounds to me like you need to get a wideband O2 on there and get some custom tuning on it.. Maybe Tweecer?

X 2 , you need a wide band on it so you can see what your FP ratio is , it will never run right with the stock air meter and bigger injectors , you can have the meter calibrated , but a custom tune is best .....

Your going to have to get in to the computer and change some things , the air meter needs to be matched to the fuel injectors , the AL9 is still set for 19# injectors...

The MAF doesn't need to be calibrated to the injectors, just the PCM does. So a chip will take care of the bigger injectors. Calibrating the MAF isn't technically correct... The best way to do it is through the computer...

....It can be done that way , i have a 302 with 30# injectors , i have a pro m 80mm mass air meter that was tuned for the truck and the injectors , it ran fine with the stock computer , but after a dyno burned chip it is much better....Lew

Ok, so basically, I'm not going to worry about it tell I get the other computer installed. Than I'll look into a chip n leave the MAF alone.
