Hi, my friend just picked up a Stang yesterday. It has supercharger, cam and intake. It also has Pro-M meter calibrated for 19lb injectors. Now the guy gave him a new regulator, 30lb injectors and C&L meter with a 30lb sample tube. The question is will the Pro-M meter work in the C&L Meter? And will it read the air flow correctly for proper fuel control?
Thanks

Pretty sure the c&l uses factory sensor, that's why you have different sample tubes. I wouldn't recommend using a c&l in my opinion.. Seems kind of like a bandaid fix to me..

I have a c&l meter housing with a 24 lb sample tube, color blue with the stock 19 lb meter sensor and 24 lb injectors and my engine runs and idles nice. The pro-m meter sensor should work just fine as long as it bolts onto the c&l housing and you use the matching 30 lb sample tube for the injectors, company's that recalibrate your meter sensor are just taking your money in my opinion. I got the best results by adding a mass air housing screen on the housing inlet to straighten out the incoming air so the sensor wire gets a better reading. There's only one way to find out if the pro-m sensor works on a c&l housing, hook it up, let us know how it works out.

NO,
You do not want to put the ProM sensor in the C&L housing...

I want to measure mine. It doesn't look that tall.

there are several companies that will re-calibrate your meter. I'm with Vristang, you dont want to put sensors in different housings.

I wouldn't mix them together but there's nothing wrong with C&L meters....

First, thank you for all the input...I get what you all are saying, but if the C&L meter housing uses your stock sensor and it measures the air flow with different size sample tubes woundn't the Pro-M meter be better than the stock one? I'm just trying to understand how a stock sensor in a C&L housing would work better than the Pro-M electronics which are supposed to be much better?

The sensors have different output scalings.

The only way to make a C&L work properly, is to run the stock sensor spec'd for the ecu you are running.

What he said....

--PLUS--


The Pro-M sensor is bench tuned to the housing it cam in. Swap it into a different housing and you'll just end up with TWO crappy meters.
