RE: MAF Brand Question
I bought a C&L meter because the dyno shop I plan on going to would rather tune with that than the Pro-M one I had. When I got it in the mail I was very impressed with the quality. It's made very nicely, and would definitly recommend it to anyone. I don't know why anyone would think that its low quality, besides the fact that you have to transfer your stock electronics to the new meter, its a really nice setup in my opinion.

I have had a hard time finding info on 'how' the MAF signal is innacurate, but it is commonly brought up.
Your comments are the first time I have heard of a tune shop that would only work with C&L, and not ProM. Normally, the roles are reversed.
I do not feel that C&L is as bad as some make it out to be, but there is potential for 'mismatch' no matter what calibrated MAF you decide to use.

Well that's what I'm saying, you should check with whoever is going to tune your car, which they prefer. Think of it like getting 10.5:1 pistons and then deciding that you want to use a turbo or supercharger. Granted it's alot easier to change a MAF meter than it is pistons, but you get my point.

RE: MAF Brand Question
I just bought a C&L off ebay for 50$, its in really good shape too. I'm not gonna put it on right away cuz i'm stickin with my 19 #ers for now with my HCI and its cal. for 24#ers. I could buy a sample tube for 19#ers, but i'm not gonna worry about it for now. I've heard some shops would rather tune with the stock MAF than a C&L, but i'll ask before i go up, maybe i can find some really cheap 24#ers before i put on the upper intake, which i hope is by atleast tuesday.
