Alright, finally getting around to hopefully upping the boost on the engine. Just wondering what the best MAF to buy for a vortech supercharged engine would be?

I've heard of people having problems with the C&L? They sell the regular one calibrated for injectors, or a "supercharger" one that isn't calibrated and only looks like it comes extra with a heat shield?

Also saw the MAC one, but are there any other ones out there that people have had great experiences with?

Is the lightning a direct plug-in or do you have to change out the harness?

You can just buy a pigtail that is premade that converts it to our style

Alright, thanks. AFM is not but an hour away from me so maybe I'll have them do the tuning as well.

Also curious where can you get the pigtail for the Lightning MAF sensor? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

How is the car being tuned, with what?
This is a very important question as it will have a huge bearing on whether you'll need a meter that's calibrated for an injector size or something universal. The lighnting meter is considered universal and requires extra tuning.

I'm not quite sure yet what it will be tuned with. I was thinking an SCT chip, do you guys at AFM tune SCT's? or only the PMS?

We pretty well stick to the PMS for all the tuning on the EEC-IV systems. If we must do a chip, Diablosport would be our choice.
