Alright cool, yea I am really not sure about the computer.

I am going to get a MAF for the injectors for now.

What do you mean you are going to get a MAF for the injectors?

well like baine21225 said, The Maf should match the injectors correct? The MAF that is on the car is stock (not calibrated for the 24lb injectors). I know they sell intakes with MAF sensors that are calibrated for different size injectors.

You don't even know what computer you have or if you have a chip. If you put a different mass air meter on the car you could very well screw things up. Tricking the computer with a mass air sensor is one way to use different injectors. Programming the computer so it knows what size injectors are in the engine is another way and the best way. The Cobra computer is designed to work with 24lb injectors. The A9L computer is designed to work with 19lb injectors. With a custom chip the either computer can use any size injector. The mass air sensor has nothing to do with the injector size. Aftermarket mass air meters use changes in airflow or electronics to electrically fool the computer to adjust pulse width to the injectors.

Alright, thank you for clearing that up.

C&L makes a tuner MAF that is flow tested, then compared to the voltage from the sensor, so you can program your tables perfectly.
