33 lbs of fuel pressure held 12.7-12.9 at WOT all the way to rev limiter so dont be afraid to cut the pressure back on it .....

Your computer still thinks you got 19#. Have a chip burned to the 24#

the computer doesn't know what size injectors are in the car, which is why you have to get a compatible MAF when you change injectors.

you mentioned it popped , have you check and double check the injectors harness to see if any are crossed ? have when you pulled it apart did you pull the plug wires , if so double check them ...even if you have already ....better yet get someone else to check behind you ....

my brother bought a C&L 76 for his car and he had idle and drivability probs. he tried everything to correct it. He ended up putting his friends pro-m 75 on, and the car immediatly idled fine and drove great when he put everything back to where it was before the C&L. both meter's were for 24lb injectors.

Well, I went out and took off the cold-air, put the stock intake tube on along with a 73mm C&L and it runs pretty good.

I've got the C&L Intake tube and 73MM MAF... with the stock air box with a K&N, with the March ram air kit... It idles perfect, if not better then with the stock meter.

Yep. Buy a MAF that's not even made anymore... Buy a product from a company that can't keep it's head above water.

Umm, the new pro m company is run the by the same guy that ran the old one.

Same meters.

It's easy for C&L to stay in business when you buy a couple hundred stainless steel coffee mugs, cut holes in the bottom and call them Mass air meters.
Does help that they are major contributers to the magazines too, so they get good write ups, when things really don't go so well. This info from someone that worked at a shop that has done a ton of dyno tests for the magazines.

Had the same prob as you 88WHTGT awhile back. C&L makes their MAF's for the stock air box. Cured mine with the stock air box back in and a TPS adjuster plate.

IMO, go with a Pro-M and be done with it!

I've got the C&L intake tube also, but the coupling is too big I try to put it on the throttle body. Are they made for larger throttle bodies? I have a 65mm, but that tube seems like it would be better for a 70+
