@madmike1157 may be a little busy with stressing over a bicycle purchase but we have @a91what that is our resident ms tuner guru, among others that will help you.
There is actually a turbo/tuner thread here that is informative.

That meter was sold by Anderson years ago. Do you have the software and cable to calibrate the meter? Is the meter calibrated now?

It will support over 1200cfm or 1500hp

The transfer curve for that meter with that calibration (42lbers) should be available somewhere on Google....

I'm not overly familiar with the pms system maybe @Decipha knows something.

The best way to tune with that meter is to "remove" any calibrations from it's tables (in other words, make V in = V out) and tune the car from there via the EEC (in your case with the PMS). I've been running one for about 6 years without issue.

It just makes it so that it reports its true transfer function to the EEC. When your V out is different than your V in, you're "lying" to the computer, which is unnecessary when you have tuning ability via the PMS.

Did you reach out to AFM? Are they able to get you the software? If not, I can see if there is a way for me to share a copy with you.

Ok, cool. The Abaco software is kind of confusing, let me know if you have any questions and I can try to help.
