is 80mm maf too big?

[cenok is family]

i found an 80mm Pro-M mass air meter calibrated for 24# injectors for a decent price and was wondering if this would be considered too big for my application? can i run "too big" of a meter? i'm rebuilding my motor with clevite 77 main and rod bearings, durabond cam bearings, power seal rings, felpro gaskets and ARP bolts on the internals. pretty much stock motor:

306 balanced and blueprinted
ross forged pistons
crane 1.6 rr's
cobra intake
65mm tb
24# injectors
cai
u/d crank
long tubes
2.5" o/r H pipe
spintech prostreets
4:10's

thanks guys!

I've heard both ways. I've heard no it's never too big and I've heard it compared to sucking water thru a straw (stock), and then trying to suck water through a hose pipe(80mm).

I have a 76mm C&L and a 70mm Accufab TB on my stock car and it helped a lot!

Since it is the maf you are talking about, it isn't too big! 80mm is just fine

my questions are, i hear pro-m's are individually calibrated for specific cars or something like that, am i going to have to send this in to PMAS and have them reprogram or calibrate this for me? auction says it's calibrated for 24# injectors and i have those but...? also, i was reading the product descripion for this sensor on coolblueperformance.com (http://www.coolblueperformance.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=252) and it says this can't be used with a cold air system. am i going to have to take off my cold air to use this sensor? thanks again!

so are you saying i can't run it with a cold air? or should i take that filter off the end of it and run it with my cold air? or my stock air box? thanks for the help strype!

Removing my air filter on my fenderwell kit with a 75mm Chrome bullet causes the car to miss...

Installing the air filter fixes that.
