Default Best MAF ?

Does anybody have any experience with this Air Mass Meter? It looks like a superior product and the price is reasonable.

If you are really looking for a flawless, plug and play system then
Vitesse is who you want to turn to. Anything else will require some tinkering
and tuning to get right. For this you will need dyno time and / or a wide band O2
sensor and the ability to datalog.
You will save a lot of time, money and headaches by going with the latest
proven system.
I'm sure a lot more will also advise you to go the Vitesse route.

Trust me, if you want the best on the market, he's the best, bar none! Do a search and you will find tons and tons of threads on his products. Nothing but satisfied customers, with respect to service and the way they performed. I originally didn't go with his MAF set-up and I learned the expensive way. Now I have all of his products and they are kick-butt! Don't make the same mistake I made. If you want "the best", he's the man.

Go to his web site and educate yourself on his MAF, and why his chips are the best, period. Then if you need to contact him directly. John is an excellent guy and top dog when it comes to EMS stuff!! But hey, don't take my word for it, I'm just a 100% satisfied customer!

I just bought a Vitesse MAF. I haven't used any other MAFs out there, but I can say I am more than pleased. Ask anyone on here about his products, customer service, anything. He's the best.

That MAF by FR WIlk is designed for NA's, not turbos. If its anything like his chips for the NA's, it will work flawlessly and will be well worth the money.

Vitesse doesn't offer a MAF for NA's, but if you want the best 951 MAF, I'd call him.

Yep, I just checked his site and Vitesse does sell NA MAF's. I don't have direct experience with the product, but am guessing it probably works just as well as his 951 MAF's.

Your title says best MAF, now you say AFM which do you want ?

Every opinion you got was honest.

Rock solid air/fuel mixture, great driveability, response and performance not good enough for you? What exactly are you looking for? (Thats not a flame, its a serious question)

On the payroll? If John reads that comment he will laugh! That's too funny. The answer for me is no!

Do yourself a favor as I said earlier, conduct a search and see what people say about his products. If you have good research skills, you will come to the conclusions based upon what "countless" people have said. I said it once, and will say it again, his products are the best, bar none!

I said my peace here. And I'm not here to sell you on him. If you don't want to buy his stuff, then don't. But sooner or later you will be contacting him. Live and learn, that's all I can say.

Good luck.

I bought a MAF and Injectors from John back in the Spring. I sold the car and he and I still talk via email once a month. He has the best customer service of any vendor I have ever purchased from, no matter what they are selling. I did'nt get the kind of service John gave me when I bought and 80K car if this tells you anything.
