bigger maf or stock?

Yes I ran the OEM meter for a while with 30's ... see the sig combo

I was right at the little meters limit

First of all ... I believe you will be close to the limit on those 24's

Of course ... you can do the afp thing and run elevated levels

While mechanical means may allow you to dodge a tuning bullet
for the fuel needs

What you can't do with mechanical means that I was able to do
with pcm access is cheat a bit for more head room for the OEM
meter as far as air flow capabilities are concerned

To find additional air flow for that little meter my combo produced ....
I had to cheat with pcm value manipulation by .....

loading the pcm with a different maf transfer curve
and
raising the maximum maf voltage output

All the above tells me ... You will most likely peg the OEM meter
but
If not
19's are gonna be too small anyway so a new meter its going to be :Word:

Now ... about the rpm question

Its more about air flow than rpm when talking maxing out a meter

Your real concern about going with a lightning meter would be
getting the pcm to play nice with different size inj's and the
new meter.

The adaptors and cai is nothing but simple mechanical stuff and
can be dealt with by using a bit of creativity while rummaging
around at a hardware store.

Now ... about that FTI cam

I got a bit of understanding about making one work with our cars

Lets recap your objectives for clarity

1) You wanna use the stock meter with 24's
2) You wanna use a lightning meter with 24's
3) You are gonna use an FTI cam with either 1 or 2

You are not gonna do ANY of the above with mechanical means only

My friend
IMHO ... I see a self tune or chip in your future

btw ... did you tell Ed you wanted to end the fun at 5500?
if so
Why
