your mass air will need to be calibrated for the 30# inj. that is the way the Granatelli's work what does it say on top of the meter for the cal# or you could get a tuner of some sort or just get a new mass air cal. for 30#. Why are you gone with 30# are you gone to add lots of upgrades in the future?

if the mass air is cal. for the 30# then you do not need to have the computer done

He has a different type of meter. His does not use the replacable sampling tubes. You are thinking of the C&L meters.

You can get one of those custom burned chip jobs for a fraction of the price of a new computer. I'd go that way, you can basically tell the manufacturer your entire setup and the chip will send the new signals to the computer.

Its best to get it tuned by a reputable shop with a dyno. Mail order chips and off the shelf tunes will usually be better than your stock tune, but arnt always best for your specific application.
