i just put a 76mm C&L on my 89 5.0 with 24 lbs injectors and its seems if i go to the floor it takes a second to clear out. its like its getting too much gas or not enough gas. i guessthis would fall into the stumling catogory.

What about partial throttle Fordgasm?Just resting my foot on the gas at about around 2500 to 3000 it will occasionally buck,but not all of the time.I have heard of other driveabilty problems similar from others who have used C&L.

not really it only does it when i go to the floor, it seems like it takes 2-3 seconds to clear out and then it will go up smoothly. it could be my fuel pressure i realy havent taken the time to adjust things and see if it will clear up.
fordgasp...do you have the right sample tube for the injectors and the size of the mass check their web site to be sure ..if it's ok clock the maf you be good to go
i woudnt even worry about it...ide put the stock unit back in. the C&L will give you 0 hp, unless you actually need more airflow, lets say like you had a blower on your car.
an aftermarket maf is a waste of money. you gain 0 hp, no matter what people tell you. the only way to pick up hp is if your engine needs more air ie. blower, stroked
that's partialy true that why exhaust is the first mod and the maf is needed because it is the restriction going biger than 73 is not needed becuase you T/B will the the next restriction....most people have a positive hp gain on this mod AFTER exhaust has been addressed
