can you tell me where the MAF sensor is on those because my 96 f250 has a 351 and id like to do the same cam as that and idk if its maf or not

[ottergt]

@PS3FORDRACER Don't know about the F250, but usually the MAF is in the air inlet tube at the air cleaner.

where did u get you hi flow cats at?

[ottergt]

@xacdcx7 Auto Anything...I bought the kind for a '95 because they don't make them for a '96. Up through '95, factory pipe had 1 sensor at the junction of the Y. '96, with Mass Air Flow system, had a sensor for each back of cyl. I had a mechanic weld up the single sensor port in the Bassani pipe and add 2 bungs in roughly the same position as stock. Works like a charm! No MIL lights on in the dash :-)

How much did the cam mess with your gas mileage?

[ottergt]

@uoweme50 The previous owner had the cam put in, so I can't give you an "A-to-B" comparison, but with this set-up I get over 16 mpg on the highway at 65-70 mph, if I don't have a heavy foot. My best around town is just over 10 mpg (a LOT of stop-n-go), but usually it's 9 or so.

@ltdyfz99 I had true duals running Cherrys and this sounds way better.

Damn that just got me hard

[ltdyfz99]

This is the best sounding 5.8 351w exhaust set up. Definitley bitting this set up real soon.

@ottergt thanks im getting ideas for when i do a 5.8 swap in my 93 with a 5.0, i wanna run true dual

[boobsmaster]

ive got a 1992 eddie bower 5.8l efi bronco, it came from the factory in that exact color with those exact wheels. over the years its been painted black and got larger tires but still the same truck, i love the sound with that cam! gotta get me one of those

[njdcknsn]

@ottergt 9-10 could be better even on a bronco at least I hope. Is the cam the previous owner added worse for mpg? Im planning on my own bronco and id love to know so I was glad to see this bit on here , thanks
