Will they recalibrate a meter for free?
Thanks in advance to anyone that answers.

I'm pretty sure that they won't do it for free. I believe the turnover can take awhile too. I was going to have mine done a while back but I've since forgotten what I found out.

No they don't do it free.

Pro-M will re-calibrate a meter for the same size injector for free if there is a problem with it. You have to call them before hand to set it up.
If you want it recalibrated for a different injectors size then ya it is like $109. I have had mine done three times. It has been back in my hands as quick as 3 days but never longer than a week. Maybe I just got lucky. :D

You might want to look into the Remote Optimizer device, especially if you are the type to switch combos often. You can re-calibrate your meter yourself, as many times as you need to. With that device, you can also fine-tune your idle. It solved a surging idle problem I was having. I only sold it because I have the PMS and need a "hard calibrated" meter to work properly with the PMS. The Remote Optimizer would have paid for itself in your case Mike.

I have used the optimizer a few times on other peoples car. Very nice piece. But I have a PMS too so back it went to Pro-M. My 55's have a injector duty cycle of 90+ so I think one more injector upgrade to 83's and I should be fine for a while. lol

Don't want to hijack the thread, but... How much boost are you running Mike???
If I leave everything alone, I have a 95% duty cycle at full boost, which is right at the ragged edge. 42's and 11 PSI with a 255 in-tank and a T-Rex. Did you go to an aftermarket fuel system also? I am told that I am at the max for the pumps and rails and injectors, and that I would need to upgrade the entire fuel system if I wanted to go any higher in the way of injectors.

I saw 14# max on the dyno. I have some belt slippage so usually it was 12-13#. My last pass I saw over 95% (98% I believe) injector duty cycle. That was with a A/F ratio right around 11.8-12:1. I have a full aeromotive system with the A1000 pump.
Your right anything larger than a 42 should upgrade the fuel system. I have seen some guys run up to 83's with stock rails but they ran crazy line pressure to make it work ok for them.

I think volume becomes an issue that extreme pressure won't compensate for.
The rails limit the overall volume of fuel that can pass thru them and you can go lean.
I guess the stock 94-95 rails have a slightly larger capacity for volume than stock foxbody style also.

I agree with you greg. But a guy I know made 630+rwhp with stock lines and 94-5 stock rails. So It can be done. I just don't recommend it especially on a street car.
I have even seen crazy things like 520+rwhp on 30's (not modified), stock fuel lines, and no FMU. Crazy in my book.

I would not even attempt that, what's the point? Sounds like future scrap iron. :p
