MAF Up Grade
Hello All
What donor vehicle MAF works the best with the stock Computer Sys for an 87 GN/Regal System? What do you need to do to tune the system for the different MAF and other up grades? I am new to the Tuning Game, so I should probably ease into it at first I guess. I have a Pent 4 Laptop with Windows XP, what software or hardware do you experts recommend, and what would the cost be like? Thanks in Advance for any assistance. Dusty |

Re: MAF Up Grade
You need a MAF translator box from full throttle. Then you can use an lt1 or LSx style MAF.

Re: MAF Up Grade
This upgrade is well worth it. Improve idle etc.. You will see a nice improvement over the stock setup

Re: MAF Up Grade
The LT1 3" sensor is found on mid-90's F-bodies and B-Bodies.
The LS1 3.5" sensor is found on late 90's and early 00's F bodies. There is a larger MAF from the ZO6 of a similar era, but it requires wiring adapters, larger piping, etc. Pacemaker knows these well.

Re: MAF Up Grade
Do you have to use a laptop or will these MAF translators function with the stock 87 ecm?

Re: MAF Up Grade
No laptop needed for installation. Some sort of scan tool is always best for fine tuning, but you can get it running fine without.

Re: MAF Up Grade
I just installed a GENll Translator with the Extender G chip so far I really like it.
If you want simple its not the way to go but I'm always tweaking so it is fun for me. A scan tool is a must for anything you use should be your first upgrade IMO even if its bone stock.
