Although, I might be wrong on the whole purpose of the o-ring to begin with! Sorry if the above ^..

seemed like a class room lecture.

MAF 301!

I know from the Taurus SHO community there's tunings for different injectors. Lets say you get a MAF for your SHO that is calibrated for 24lb/hr mustang injectors. Since the SHOs are the same as a 5.0 mustang (19lb/hr) you'll run rich.

I'll have to do a little trial and error.

I completely misunderstood the purpose of the o-ring:...

This is from a post above about Mance's all aluminum intake. This is how he described the purpose of the o-ring in the MAF.
Good to know info...

gave it 150 miles - 15mpg :(

Guess I was running rich. I usually can get 18-19 mpg under the same driving characteristics. Needless to say I removed the o-ring and will see what that does.
