Granatelli Adjustable MAF

Guys

I am working on a car that runs this MAF

I'm not so sure I can get this car running right with this thing installed.

The car is either Pig rich down low and okay in boost or okay down low (idle and cruising) and it is extremely lean in boost

A whopping 15 psi and it's knocking bad

There are other issues to sort out but I want to know if I'll be wasting my time with this sensor.

TIA

Stand the MAF on its end on the work bench and you can store your pens and pencils. For more storage space ram a jack handle through the middle knocking out the guts. Now you are the coolest cat on the block with a $460 pencil holder! Get my drift on the Grenade-telli?

Funny thing is their Tech support guy is shocked that there is a problem and has offered to put the sensor on their flow bench to check the calibration (for a $30 charge plus shiping and handling)


I had a bad feeling about this MAF the second I saw the readings over 17 @ idle...
