Default what mass air brand?

I just bought the ssi bbk intake with the 70mm throtle body i was told ur mass air meter should be at least or around 5mm bigger than the throtle body so im gonna go with a 75mm i was wondering wich one 2 go with. Ive heard bad things about c&l so i was thinking about pro-m. WHAT DO U THINK?

I'd get around that size. Ive heard good things about the pro-m. I bought a c&l just cuz it was cheap off ebay, but i havent installed it yet cuz its calibrated for 24#ers and i only have 19#ers. You oculd also get the lightning MAF, but i believe its a 90mm, which might be too large in your case. Do you have stock heads ?

Get a 75mm, but what ever you do, don't get the C&L. I stick with Pro-M, P-MAS, or Granatelli, they're more expensive than C&L but the results are much better.

I was about to ask the about the same question. Why would you not want them the same size?

If I get a MAF that is calibrated for larger injectors, is all I need to switch is the injectors themselfs?

90mm Lightning MAF is going to be a bit big for stock heads ( I'll be running the 90 for 30# injbut I have TW 2.02/1.60).. Go with the 75mm MAF for your set up (I use to actually run a 73mm C&L MAF on my stock Notch and it ran well).

My C&L meter works great. I don't know why people are so against them... I had both, Pro-M/PMAS and C&L and noticed zero differencebetween the 2.
