Who had to send there air meter back to get re-calibrated? How did you know it was the air meter? I don't know if it is my computer, or the air meter.

What makes you think that the maf is off

sorry to steal the post, but if a pro-m is not calibrated correctly, will a dyno-tune be able to fix that?

Yes, but its not recomended. Its a "hack fix" and chances are it won't completely be fixed. You're always better off running the proper calibration meter.

Easy solution...Put the stock MAF back in...If it runs better its a MAF problem...
I sent my Pro-M back three times, finaly I talked to Jim Gonzales (Owner of Pro-Flow-Tech) and he sent me out an optimizer...The optimizer adjusts the MAF voltage, so you can tune the best idle and high speed runs on your car...
Also, if you have a 90* elbow infront of the Pro-M, the meter might not be picking up air correctly..
Good luck!

Glenn, don't you have a chip in your car. Didn't you provide Byron with your Pro-M flow data? If this is all correct then switching your MAF to a stock meter won't work.
What exactly is your car doing? Just running rich? Did this just start happening all of the sudden?

What exactly is your car doing? Just running rich? Did this just start happening all of the sudden? Also what injectors are u running and what is the meter calibrated for. Blower or N/A calibration?

I have a Pro-M on my car and when I changed to 30 lb injectors I went directly to a custom Autologic chip from Powertrain Dynamics and the car runs perfect. The one and only experience with C and L meters has been a horrible one. I built my friend's 93 with AFR 165's, Holley intake,30 lb injectors, and an F303 cam. We got the C and L with the correct calibration and you guessed it: The car would run poorly. Amazingly it idled like a champ with the stock MAF sensor. It was a costly proposition because it cost about $200 for the few hours it took to diagnose the problem at a local shop figuring out that a chip would be the solution. After a new chip from Powertrain Dynamics the car runs just fine now. I still wonder to this day if the car would've ran fine if we would've bought a Pro-M to begin with.

c&l or pro-m big deal, looks like which ever one you get you may or may not have problems. simple as that. easily fixed.
