Default air inlet temp sensor

Ok do I really need a sensor. Now I am.running a maf but the car seed density tuned. Now I want to get rid of the maf sensor. I have been told I need one but was told today I do not.

The car is a 1999 firehawk with the stock pcm. I am running a f1a with a 402.

Also if I.do what is the best placement

Thank

are you asking about the MAF or the IAT sensor?

The air inlet temp. My first tunner said I would have to get one if I went with no maf and my new tuner said he thought my car has one that will work. So I am lost.

just make sure your tuner knows what he is doing... a f1 on a 402 is gonna be no joke.
