Hey, someone said he had a lightning MAF....ok i have had so many issues with my saleen install, so i took it to a shop for a pulley alignment, cause i did an 8 rib conversion and they werent lined up correctly..opps. But i was having some idling issues. Now the guy at the shop tuned it, and said im running about 13lbs of boost on a stock bottom end. He then took apparantly the lightning MAF and put the stock one on somehow. I have a 10% bigger than crank pulley on so it was pushing apparantly more lbs through the supercharger. I have to buy a bigger pulley, just i dont know which one to buy lol. Cause it changes the ratio, so i need to buy a bigger pulley like a 6lb pulley, and maybe that will make it up to about 9-10....But on the dyno it pushed 430rwhp at 4500rpms. It apparantly leans out really bad and i dont drive it above there..............Moral of the story is......... why do you have a lightning MAF, and should i have the one that i have on there, and take it to a better shop cuase the dude is a f*cking moron

It might be time to look for a different shop.
There are a lot of Top Notch Performance Shops.
You don't say where you are located so can't recommend one.
