What MAF are you guys running?

I pegged my 80mm Pro-M a few months back and was on the hunt for a "better" meter. I was wondering what you guys ran and how you liked it. My Pro-M was great for me under 550rw, once I started to make power beyond that my tuner always complained.

I did alotta homework and since I run a SCT chip I went with the SCT BA2800.

Thanks guys

Im running a Lightning meter right from Ford. They work great and theyre actually cheap!

What do those meters go for

Hows this look? $99. You need to buy the pigtail and solder it in place of the original style connector.

Same deal with this meter, i researched and those meters are only good for 450ish rw it says

Im running one in my car now.

is it pegging?

The only thing that was pegged at my last visit to the dyno was my fuel system. I will ask my tuner about this and see if I need to upgrade, but as far as I know, this wasnt my barrier.

What injectors do you need to run the lightning meter again?

Im running 42s now, but Im checking to see if my dyno wizard thinks the Lightning one is going to give me problems with the 60s. Ill let you know as soon as I know.

Note: The LMAF is not calibrated for a given injector size....the calibration is done in the EEC itself through programming such as a chip or Tweecer.

SCT big air

Ok, I have a C&L 80mm with FMS 42lb injectors now but I tune with a PMS and an LM1. Would there be any problem going to a lightning meter for me?

You guys that are pegging the Lightning meter can use this product to extend the range a considerable amount

Yes...you still need a chip to make a LMAF work. The PMS does not have the ability to do the job as it can't alter MAF transfer function....it can only trim the fuel curve by a limited percentage + or -. Even the current gen PMS with it's Global Fuel adjustment does not have the capacity to make a LMAF work.

He is right the PMS will not work with the LMAF, but I wouldn't say it was limited in changing the fuel curves. It will change +/- 200%. I got sick of all the bad cals and crappy meters out the so i went with a standalone system and now run a map sensor. It is really nice not being at the mercy of a bad meter, although I've heard the new cals are a lot better these days.
