Installed my Paxton now trying to fix the bugs

I have base tune in the car right now and the car is running rich as hell , well my question was is okay to use my stock maf with the blower or should I upgrade to a lightning maf and if I go with the maf would I need extra to make it work

no you wont need anything extra to make it work if you have a 4.6 if you have a 5.0 then you might need an adapter. (not exactly sure)

I had a Lightning MAF and it was plug in play. You need to get rid of the stock MAF get a Lightning and then get a dyno tune. Real time tune by a tuner can't be beat by some mail order tune

read more here for MAF information.

Paxtons setups are draw-thru MAF's

if you've got 42 lb injectors then you should look at this.

If you have a 5.0 (best deal so far)

I'm going to order one this week so I can get my car tuned! What sparks plugs should
Run cause Paxton recommends the autolite 764s , how much power you guys tthink I'll make, I got stage 1 cams, Paxton blower running 8 psi and Anderson power pipe with shorty headers, lightning maf, x pipe, slp catback, 75mm tb and
Plenum and pi intake

 

[blown98gt]

if paxton knows all your supporting mods and recommends autolite 764 then use them..

What should I gap my plugs with the supercharger?

 

[blown98gt]

call autolite and ask them, they can tell you exactly what to gap your plugs at

if it's only 8 psi you can use the stock maf. you could try some ngk tr6 gap in the 30 range. that's going to add a little over a 100hp to the flywheel and then subtract you 10-15% drivetrain loss for rear wheel hp. get new 02's also help it run a lot better.
