And you would want more fuel . . . why? So your car can run MORE rich?

OK I am sure this has been asked of you before, but how and why is the car running lean??

I would find it hard to believe that with NA you are getting too much air into the vehicle for it to run lean. What is your set up. As was said above these cars generally need the amount of fuel to be leaned out unless your vehicle is Forced induction.

And btw how do you know it is running lean?? have you had it on a dyno with an A/F meter or what?? When you had it on the dyno surely the tuner would have made suggestions like putting in larger injectors.

What gives??

Re: what will a 3.8 mustang maf do

If you change the MAF you need to reprogram the ECU.

A MAF that flows more air would actually give you a lower voltage output for the same amount of air flow. So, it would run leaner.

Re: what will a 3.8 mustang maf do

The guy has no reason to change the Maf or I should say he hasn't responded or give any real info on the subject.
If you change the Maf your car might accidently open a rift in the dimension and you might end in the Abyss or maybe in the Demonweb pits.
