is this MAF Sensor big enough?
Hey guys,
I got a 96 F-150 MAF sensor off a 4.9L I6 for $5... Figure I would chance it for the $5 that it might work on my 5.8L when I convert to MAF... Would it be big enough? I have everything from throttle body to the air filter box... Just wondering if it would work... I was thinking it might not be big enough but didn't know...
Thanks!

Does this mean if I get a A9L computer from a older mustang I have to use a 5.0L MAF sensor? JW...

For best results you have to use the matching Mustang MAF.. but if you add a tuner you can then use any sensor you like as long as you can find the transfer function for it.

I see Paul has answered...but just getting around to checking post today.
As Paul states you can tune any sensor with the right equipment...and you don't necessarily need the transfer function if you have a wideband and a datalogger to tune with.....but it gives the best starting point if you have the transfer function for it.
