Ok i just installed an 80mm mass air meter on my 98 cobra and now it lacks power that it had before, it has the right sample tube in it, and the air sensor is installed in it right. any sugestions?

Ya, sell it and buy a pro-m, my car did the exact same thing.

The C&L is proven to be a bad MAF. It gives erratic voltage readings back to the computer and every tuner I know hates them.

I'm not sure what you are talking about, the C&L meter uses your stock electronics, are the eratic voltages caused by turbulence in the meter?

what he said: A lot of the tuners I have talked to would much rather recalibrate the factory MAF or get a PRO-M........The Univer. is the preferred one for a blow thru application, which I think you may have......but I don't know your setup.

on the 23rd of this month i will be at a dyno tune session here in connecticut put on by superchips and bristol dyno. do you think that they would be able to fix my problem with the C&L meter? If not i'm going to buy a pro-m meter.

If you are talking about SCT, they probably won't want to tune your car if there is a C&L on it.
