ok heres my situation.
i need a new mass air meter.
i do plan on getting 24lb injectors for the car not far in the future... but not yet.

so theres no use in buying a pro-m meter for 19lb injectors for a month to get a different one to match the 24lbers

so if i just go ahead and put the one to match 24s on with the stockers.
will it run ****ty?
or will it be alright until i get the 24s ordered :shrug:

thanks
derek
(i post too damn much)
 
The only way it will work is if you have a tweecer, eec tuner, or something like that. Your best bet is to buy a C&L mass air meter. They use sample tubes for the calibration which are only like $25 and easily changed. That's what I did. I remember summit had the 73mm for $125, although I don't know if they still do. There wasn't much change at all from using the C&L to switching to a 75mm bullet Pro-m, althoughsome people say they have drivability problems with the C&L's. :shrug: I'm using a 80mm Pro-M now, and it's the best, however they are quite a bit more than the 75mm.

ive only heard bad things about C&L
im just going to go ahead and get a new pro-m and 24lbers
no use in waiting. im probably getting ~300hp'ish anyways
 
staticc - ProM changes their calibrations depending on whether or not you're using the stock air box, have a cold air kit, have elbows right in front of the meter, have a conical hung on the end under the hood etc. So if you buy used, be sure you know what you're getting. It can make a difference if you get one used that was calibrated for different configuration than you're using, even if the injector size is correct.
