- after any aftermarket maf is installed you should dyno with a wideband 02 to get air -flow readings

If you use a calibrated MAF by itself its usually fine. If you use it with a chip you need to get a wide band O2 graph because its probably going to be too lean with a standard burn.

what would be the rough cost to burn a superchip for a maf sensor on a v10?

Hello Ford Bros, I see that you are talking about 02 and lean burn, I and issue and I hope that you all my be able to help me out.

My 97 F-150 has over 119,000 miles and I have add coldIntake,75mmTB,MAF, F.M. catback,w/20in shoes and I'm now adding a stage 3 chip.

Will I need to change my stock 02, and if so change it to what?

Thanks

You don't need to change the O2 sensor unless its gone bad from either failure or extensive rich burning for a lot of miles. You need the computer programmed for the mass airflow sensor. The chip needs a custom burn, and wideband O2 reading on dyno will help a lot but is not 100% required if you have a calibration sheet with the MAF.
