Post MAF ???

Are there any significant performance advantages to any certain manufacturer? I know the 73mm SIZE will help, but does KIND matter? Reason I am asking, is that Vortec seems lesser expensive ($125 new) than some others...

In stock or very mild aplications Vortech/ C&L meters seem to work ok. High HP or cammed motors seem to respond better w/ Pro-M meters due to their superior sampling methods.

My Vortec housing was expensive, It cost me $215 from Summit. That was just for the housing, it didnt come with a sensor, you have to splice wires with the equipment they send you and use the old sensor. But it worked well.

With the Vortech meter you have to put the stock sensor on it. So it may be a lile cheaper. The Pro-M 75 comes with the sensor, but is made out of chrome plated cheap thinwall tubing. The Vortech is cast aluminum.

I have heard the Pro-M is a little better because is electronically calibrated, rather than using a sampling tube to fool the sensor.

I was using the 73mm Vortech as well, and it is a good unit. It's for sale if you need one.

Keep in mind that if you go with a Pro-M meter and decide to change injector size you'll have to shell out more hard earned money to have Pro-M recalibrate the meter.

There are some really high horsepower cars out there running great with a C&L meter. Also, C&L is making a 76mm MAF now which looks to be pretty cool.
