A9L bbk mass air meter or x3z with cobra mass air meter?

Right now im running the cobra computer and mass air meter.I plan on trying an A9L computer with a 76mm mass air meter calibrated for my 24lb injectors and cold air intake.Will this be worth the swap?

Imo I wouldn't swap to the different maf and computer. Is there a reason for this? The stock cobra stuff runs the 24lb injectors. If I remember right the cobra maf is a 70mm unit. The 76mm maf sounds like a C&L maf and I would definitely take a cobra maf over that one. There have been many problems with the C&L mafs.

Actually its a bbk unit...i just heard the A9L is more agressive than the cobra computer.Also i have a 70mm bbk throttle body and was told to run a larger mass air meter to create velocity.With the cobra computer im limited to the cobra mass air meter.

Hmm, I didn't realize bbk made 76mm mafs, of course I never checked if they did either. If you are going to get a tune down the road if you go with a h/c/i or s/c I'm pretty sure they can make whatever maf work with the cobra computer. Usually, you want a maf that is the same size or bigger than the tb. As far as the A9L being more aggressive than the Cobra I have no idea, I don't know too much about that computer.

Spoke to one of the guys at kennedy dyno tune and he told me he likes the A9L better.He said the cobra computer is a good computer but the A9L seems to respond better to a custom tune.I plan on trying the A9L as soon as i get my new mass air meter so i'll let you know how i make out.

Sounds good to me. I have no experience in tuning so it's good you talked with someone who does a good amount of tuning.
