vam meter ?

what the hell can i do to get rid of this annoying thing. isnt the vam meter one of the biggest problems with this car, isnt there somthing else or just the mass air conversion which is 500$ to damn much for me last thing ill be running close to 300hp or slightly over can i stay with the original computer or upgrade to the eec system. thanks again later!!!!

The EEC system is the orginal system unless you are talking about the EEC Tuner.
The stock computer can support around 300 HP as that is about the limit of the stock injectors.

The VAM is not normally a problem. They can wear out but so can anything. Mass air isn't cheap or trouble free.

What kind of trouble have you had with it? In general, they are quite trouble free.

The VAM isnt much of a restriction at the 300 HP level, and converting to a hot wire mass air system will be a major hassle.

If you go well over 300 HP, you will need larger injectors, which will require a EEC tuner, stand alone FI system, etc. If you go to one of those systems, the hot wire MA system might be worth the hassle, or just go with a speed density aftermarket FI system, and eliminate the air meter entirely.
