Default lightining meter question

alright guysi searched online and the site but it just got me more confused. first off a lightning meter has nothing to do with the calibration its all in the lightning computer? and if it is calibrated for 42lbs will it be a direct plug in?

From what I've heard the LMAF actually isn't calibrated to any injector size and to use one with a 5.0 you need a tune no matter what.

The lightning has 42lbers in it, so if it is at all its set up for that size but you need a tune no matter what because there completely dif computers and engines.

If you're getting a tune it's not a big deal, and you can either by the wiring harness or splice in the correct MAF connector. The nice thing about LMAFs is they can be had for cheap and support high HP applications.
