Lightbulb Anyone with a aftermarket MAF please assist

i need a maf sensor. i have a pro-m cai and a bbk. with the pro m on my car it sounds like it will die and sometimes it does. when i put the sensor calibrated for 24's in the stock housing with the bbk on my car it sounds to fast, like there is no cam at all and idles faster. obviously i want the bbk on my car since it gets cold air from the fender. i want to know if anyone has used Vortech, Summit or Granatelli. i've definitely read bad things about C&L, please let me know which one you use and how well you like it or don't like it thanks.

I'm running a Lightning MAF but it requires a tune to work. I ran a Pro-M MAF for a long time and had zero problems with it.

the point is i want the air coming from the fender, not from the front of the engine compartment like the pro m does.

i haven't ran codes since i put it the engine back together and the only codes were egr related. and i know how to run codes with the engine off but i don't remember/know how to run with the engine running. anyone have the link?

i really want to know if anyone has used the MAF meters i posted originally. i have the money, i just don't want to buy junk.

i'm not in a big hurry since i broke my ankle the day after i turned over the motor and still have a couple more weeks before i can walk on it or push in the clutch
