I'm using a C&L 76mm Mass Air Meter Calibrated for 30lb Injectors on my 347.

Don't even consider using a C&L 76mm (sorry slayer) on your 347.

I've heard good things about the meters from Anderson, unfortunately the use of them isn't all that widespread (yet), so feedback is going to be minimal.
Anderson is most known for using quality products, so purchasing based on their reputation IMO would be acceptable. If you call there, more than likely Rick will field your questions, so i'd ring them and get a feel for what they have to say.

You could also go with a PMAS 80mm.
But you will likely have to find it on ebay, since i think 80mm units aren't made anymore.

You can't just slap a lightning meter on the car. For it to work correctly you usually need a tuner or chip. Which pretty much eliminates the savings and then some of buying a lightning meter.

Let us know how the dbx works.

Make no mistake... an LMAF *requires* a J3 tuner/chip...

But, there are other advantages to a J3 chip...
