Dyno tuner advised me to ditch the PRO-M

Run from this guy, he's trying to sell you a chip. C&L seriously? The worst meter available. If this was a 96 or newer I could buy into the lightning meter, but not on a fox.

If anything you could probably use a larger meter, look for a 95mm velocity.

And for the record, ford meters are usually pegged around 450rwhp, far from 800.

Honestly, this guy has no clue, probably hasn't been in business for long enough to be working on a fox, guys from the 96 and newer era should not work on foxbody's.

Just my .02, back in the day, the Pro-M was the best meters out there, C&L then came out with their interchangable tubes, etc. I never had problems with Pro-M, their drivability and making the horsepower was the best, there wasnt anything else that could have done it. Keep in mind we were running single digit 1/4 mile times, and drove them on the street all over the place. We did have to send them back in for recalibration when we changed injectors, etc. Nowadays, there is alot of other quality meters out there (I heard the ABACO was a great meter), but didnt try them yet. And I will continue to run the Pro-M too.

I thought the point was that the OP was getting a dyno tune?


There is nothing wrong with a ProM meter, unless it's too small.
If buying a new lightning MAF, I would just go with the 90mm LMAF


But I haven't seen any justification for changing the MAF in your post.

Asking someone to change their MAF that doesn't cause any problems when you're already tuning is just a tuner being lazy. Tell them that's what you have, and unless they're willing to swap in a LMAF for nothing, then keep the Pro-M and let them tune it.

I also agree with some of the tuner's statements regarding the Ford MAFs, and yes you can make 800rwhp by manipulating the EEC, apparently. Don't fix what ain't broke, though. Your Pro-M is working fine. There is nothing wrong with their meters, and so far as I can tell, they're as reliable as factory.

Personally Id take a Prom_m meter any day, they actually do some of the work and development with FORD Motor Company. I tend to have issues with the Lightning Meters and overrun them easily on anything over 500hp.

I use the Pro-M 75mm, 80mm, 92mm and blowthrough protubes very often with no issues....

Find a tuner that will use the current Pro-M that's on the car
