If you have a Pro-M calibrated for 38's then the meter will tell the computer that the airflow is actually 1/2 of what it really is. 19/38 = 1/2. The computer then commands half the pulsewidth of the injectors and since your injectors are twice as big as stock you get the same exact amount of fuel.<br /><br />Problems with running Pro-M/C&L meters without computer tuning is that since they ratio the airflow reported to the computer, and since the computer uses airflow to determine load, any table within the computer that is load based will be completely wrong(such as part throttle timing on a foxbody). Luckily on foxbody's WOT spark is based only on RPM and not on load(like the 94+ cars). <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" /><br /> <br /> <small>[ March 20, 2005, 03:28 PM: Message edited by: Jeff S ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>92greenlx</b> <br /><small>Member # 4734</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2005,2,20,16,41,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> What is an ACT Sensor?
