on a 95 5.0 with a/c do you have to buy the bypass pulley or can you just run a shorter belt. i know i did that on an older stang before but nothing this new. another question while im hear is it worth taking the screen off my maf?

I'm not sure about the mustangs but on "other" makes of cars, removing the screens from the MAF caused a loss in power. The screens main function is to actualy smooth airflow and keep it more even across the entire sensor. If you think you are exceding the limits of your MAF (air flow wise) then the correct thing to do is replace it.

It's not really worth taking the screen out. I've tried just about every "free" mod out right at the track to see the results over the years with a ton of different 5.0's. You can pick up a max of 10hp roughly with a short belt bypassing everything but the waterpump and alternator. I did it at the track one night because I wanted the extra .10 in the 1/4 LOL.

the only way i see to rout the belt now is to go the other way around the water pump so that the tentioner still works what will get messed up? i drew a diagram and mapped it out all pulleys are turning in the right direction so i think ill be good
