I need to get a new MAF, it looks like the Lightning MAF is what everyone is using......whats my best choice? Pro-M...C&L....LMAF???? (I'm guessing I need a blow-thru, it's mounted after the blower) btw...the car is an '02 Saleen S281...and has a D1-SC Procharger (8# pulley)

Have you datalogged the MAF to see if it is pegged? Also, you will need a tune if you change MAF.

I believe Pro-M is out of business, and avoid C&L at all costs. The other choices you have are the LMAF, and the SCT Meters. Both are good, but the SCT meters will allow you to make more power before maxing out. Both will max out sooner as a blow thru than a suck thru.

another maf question...

at around 5k rpm im showing 4.8v with just a JLT intake, mac prochamber and weldin mufflers with a predator canned tune.

i didnt think i would be that close to pegging the meter with so few mods.

You shouldn't be. Try putting the stock intake back on and see what you get.

This is what you need...unless you want a BA 2400 (prefered)...then go to the below person store and buy JUST the O ringed flange. In a blow through app, this is a MUST. My stock non O ringed flange wouldnt hold any pressure...but CFMs O ringed flange works GREAT and doesnt leak.

^ Includes LMAF and O ringed flange

I'm still installing the blower right now, I just wanna get the right parts on before it goes to the tuner, because it's a few hours away....it's kind of a catch 22, I won't be able to drive my car hard cause it only has a base tune, so how will I know if the MAF is pegging?

You've got to have a tool to datalog it, but you do not need to know yours is going to peg. Adding the supercharger guarantees that you need a new one. Since you are using it as a blow though I'd reccomend one of the SCT BA meters.

go with the SCT BA2400, the Lmaf is good for lower boost, but doesn't provide alot of room for growth.

which is a better setup for my blower???....a blow-thru or draw-thru???, from what I hear the draw-thru is easier to tune, but the blow-thru is good for more power

I have dynoed both the pro-m (Professional mass air meters now) and the C&L....The pro-m with a tune will actually net you about 4-5 more HP and abou 10 more rwtq.......on the dyno back to back it made that much difference.....I was using this with the AFM power pipe with a NA set up! Pro-m has a better meter and reads the voltage better than the stock meter.....Actually had to retune the different meter right there also.....

Get the flange I listed in my link...but JUST the flange that that same CFM guy sells. then google (froogle) SCT BA-2400 MAF for the best price. Thats all you need.
