Should I give the C&L Meter another try?
Well, I did it. I broke down and purchased a Zeitronix WideBand setup. Now that I have that incredible tuning tool at my command, I am wondering if I should put the C&L back on.
On thing about the C&L when I did have it installed was its driveability problems. I also had major tuning issues and took a little power hit. My thinking is with the WB, EEC Analyzer, and TwEECer I should be able to dial in a fairly accurate transfer. In comparison to a stock posted meter, do you think there is an advantage to installing the C&L meter?

I think there is a reason alot of professional tuners wont work with c&l mafs. Take that as you may.

I've heard of too many people having the same issues you've had with a C&L meter. I'd steer clear, but I guess there is a chance that you could tune out the issues.

I think any meter can have driveability issues tuned out with the right equipment. No meter is dead on.
