Maf Sensor???
I am a new owner of a stock '94 Coupe w/42,000 and auto trans.
What is the general opinion of replacing the MAF Sensor w/ a new "HI-Flow" performance one. Is the $300 worth it? Does the computer need reprogramming? Do they really help or hurt things.
Thanks,
Tim

Yes general consensus is they are worthless.
And yes you would need reprogramming. There are 4 separate MAF calibration tables in the computer on your car (and mine) and it would take a fair amount of testing to get those absolutely right.
For $300 you could so some roller rockers or a few other things.

I agree... Waste of money
I m new to the forum and also the V8 cars. I was a former Rotary man, which nobody cares about. I have 96 lt4, and put in one of those MAF's for Granetelli or whatever it is and spent 400 dollars on it. Didnt feel a thing. If you didnt upgrade exhaust. I know thats where to start. I put muffler eliminators and an x pipe at a local exhaust shop for 500 and i felt a differece.

I might be alone in saying this, but... Before you start modding, make sure you check things such as the Opti and water pump, especially on a car that will soon be 14 years old.
Oh, and the "upgraded" MAF sensors are a waste.
