i have 24's on my setup now. from what i read and under my circumstances, i can benefit from going to 30's now.

im worried about finding the right maf. ive heard of problems with the c&l meters, and ive heard of some success. so im really iffy about purchasing that.

what im wondering is, does anyone know where to have a pro-m meter re-calibrated still? if not, is the c&l meter for 30# injectors safe/reliable to use? im wondering the best/cheapest way here to get a maf for 30's.

even if someone was interested in swapping my 24 setup for 30s? thanks

Your 24# inj should be fine with that set-up, is the car lean down low that would be the true indicator of needing a larger inj.

Go 80mm Pro-M....last meter you'll ever need.

Professional Mass Air Systems out of Lansing Michigan is recalibrating. They are a renamed Pro-M company. I sent mine there and have waited a while to getting it back.

i have a c&l 73mm with 30# injectors....the C&L worked fine with 24's on the car but with the 30's it has hot start issues, stay with the 24's they are fine for your power level just bump pressure a little if you need more

I've got the c&l, no problems, but they are for 24lb, haven't had any experience with the 30#'s and c&l.

Anderson Ford Motorsports has the Professional Mass Air meters in stock in near ever size, it also comes with the AFM open end element filters now.

its past about 3/4 throttle that it feels laggy to me. i upped the fuel pressure like 4-5 pounds and it got better, but i never get on the car all that much. so still sometimes it feels laggy to me.

i guess the easiest and most direct fix would be getting tuned with a wideband? i have just been really discouraged from any dyno shops. i call in and i get a reasonable estimate, then i call back to schedule and the price is triple the first time. i dont have the money to go in and then have a bunch of extra charges tached on. so i was hoping the swap to 30's would for sure keep me safe on fuel if that makes sense. plus it costs alot less if i either trade my setup or sell it towards new.

about the place re-calibrating maf's, that is what i was worried about. they are still accepting them but how long does it take? its my daily driver so i cant really just sit back and have it gone for 3+ weeks.

i saw a guy on the corral/ebay selling pro-m meters still, for 320. i was trying to avoid paying that much. i am definately pro-m biased if i get afford one though.

thanks for the input
