how about I'll trade you a lukem80 oil separator 'kit' for your cobra for these plugs.. my stock plugs have 27K on them now so I'll give them a try.
You gotta deal there, partner!!!! Sounds like a plan to me....

Looks like I'm in the same boat as mustangmuscle was less than a year ago.

Took a couple coworkers for a ride tonight, and the cold weather seems to have pushed me past the limits of my MAF (less than 40 degrees outside in T-Town). I guess it's time for that MAF Xtender and a new tune.

Yeah cold weather makes a huge difference.

Funny thing is on the way home with just me in the car it ran fine. It stutttered and broke up really bad when I took them for a ride, then when I wa alone it was fine. I guess that's what I get for trying to be a show off.

I feel ur pain, dude....

Cooler weather makes a HUGE difference.

But, the good news is, that the MAF Xtender and tune will solve your problems.

I've had absolutely no issues, since installing the MAFia and re-tune....

I agree......weird
But, mine did the same thing. Goes to show just how temperamental these cars can be.

It's the "load" calculation. It's definitely going to be different with 400-500 pounds extra on an already portly vehicle.

Then my tuner shoulda "factored in" the "load" of my fat-ass, AND the difference of colder weather, when he was working on my car. Kinda hard to miss the above mentioned "load". I was standing right beside him while he was tuning.......
