    Tune Issues...

    The idea of using the OEM meter is a good one :nice: It would match up GREAT with the Cobra file and 24's This would take the maf transfer thing out of the loop for an amount of time which you could use to get the hang of tuning for both CL and OL :banana: One thing to be careful...
