mass airflow

can someone tell me what a mass airflow calibrated for larger injectors does.i mean does this mean you have to replace your injectors with larger ones.I want to replace my current mass airflow with a high performance one like the granatelli i dont know if you order certain sizes or they are all the same.the one i saw just fit the engine size thats it and boosts hp ...also does this mean i need a bigger throttle body i want one of those to .....need some extra ponies here!

MASS Air sensors are calibrated to a certain size inj.You can get one calibrated to your stock injs, but i feel that the gains wont be as good as also having larger injs.This has nothing to do with the throttle body. But a larger throttle body will generally give you 8-12 hp. Mass air sensors "senses" air coming into the engine, then adjusts the air fuel ratio.Like i said earlier you can get one without larger injs and you probaly dont need larger injs unless you do some serious exhaust mods.Throttle body controls the air going in the engine, sorta like a carb but without fuel.
