What MAF do I need?

[TRDon]

I want to get the pro-m 80 mm MAF (on sale on the pro m site for 249) because io heard it will be good for me when I get the supercharger(2 years away?) I go on their site and there seems to be a ton of diferent Naturally asperated 80s to pick from. This is a problem. I want to get a cold air kit and meter at the same time, but I dont know what is compatable with what.

Can anyone enlighten me on what to get. I want to get it before it goes back up to 360.

Call up muscle motors. I got my PRO-M from them and they ask a few questinos about the setup and then get one calibrated for you, plus free shipping. Mine runs great.

The problem is you need to buy injectors and the MAF at the same time. If you don't you will just have to have it re-calibrated later. If you can afford injectors at the same time then go ahead, otherwise wait.

If you get injectors i like the 42's (even ifyou stay NA). Everyone says they are too big but they will run great with a NA car and they will grow with the supercharger. They are also cheaper than the 24,30, or 36 lb injectors. Get the green top Bosch injectors.

Then order the 80mm Pro-M calibrated for your computer (in your car) with 42lb injectors.

I have heard that my 19s would be good to have up to a h/c/i swap, beyond that, depends on how much boost. I was planning on keeping the 19s and getting the 19#MAF and just having the meter re-calebrated when the time comes. I just want to get the main meter once. Spending a couple bucks to have it re calibrarated once isn't a big deal to me.

19#'s aren't good for a full H/C/I swap let alone a blower also. With H/C/I and a blower I'd do 42#'s.

well thats why John suggested you do it once and be done, if you do a blower your gona need bigger injectors then 19's, so eather way your buying injectors and a maf, but if you buy the injectors with the maf right now you can run it N/A till then saving you the hassle and money of having it recaled

Here is the page with the meter in question. I need to know what all the extra stuff means. I have no idea if the stuff will work with what I want (cold air kit, not a factory box)

As for the injectors, I know what you mean. The reason I wanted to wait is Dan at DB said the 19s have been better with the finickey computer I have in my car. I can step it up, but would help to have it tuned then. He said I will need to have it tuned and a chip burned for the h/c/i swap and again for the SC install. Would be nice to have all the money to drop on it at one time and have it all done once, but I dont have 7-8k to do it, as nice as it would be.

After a re-evaluation of my car, I decided to get a mass air capable of 450-500 hp which was the pro m 75. This was a decision that Dan Wolfson and myself made due to it being able to support the future charger I plan. I want a light hit of 6-9 psi to keep my stock internals safe and pretty reliable untill I get the fully forged rebuild treatment and make sure the charger I get is expandable to that kinda boost (14 psi) At that time I will just get a new MAF and sell the old one. That will seem like peanuts compared to the cost of the rebuild. The 75 is a direct mount replacement whereas the 80 is not and it must be fender mounted with custom, you-build-it bracketry. I decided on the 75 to save the hassel. I also ordered the mac cai to go with it. Hopefully all goes good and I just wanted to thank you all for the replies and give a heads up on what I decided.

Hmmmmmmmm, you should have considered the 77mm. It supposedly has the most accurate transfer functions and would be a good meter before and after the blower.
Did you ever call ProM and ask one of the techs which would be best?
Recalibration is not just a couple bucks. It's $100 from what I hear. Almost half the price of a new unit. You could probably sell yours in a couple years and get a new one and lose little money over the price of having your recalibrated.

I considered the 77 but is was considerably more $$$ than the 75. I was aware the Re-cal is about 120 or so, but it will work well for me and be pretty easy to sell in a few years when I am ready to step up. I never called them, although I really should have. I talked to Dan at DB performance and he suggested this meter and never said anything about the 77. I have heard great things about the 77 though. The 75 will be a good meter for what I have planned in the next 6 years or so. After that, I will need a big gun to do what I have planned. Thanks for the input though, I wish I would have read this before I ordered the meter.

The C&L's I have used work great, if you ever need to change injectors it is EASY to recalibrate. Simply change sample tubes and your done! I sell these

See above post-I bought one already

I have heard bad stuff about C&L. Tim has one and doesnt like it to much and said he had problems at first. He is not the only one I have heard that from, so I will stay away from them in the future too.

[Mustangmatt]

Like what? what type of problems?

[TRDon]

Mostly poor idling/drivability. I guess the sampling tubes arent very accurate from what I have heard.
