I cant tell you if the Pro-M increases horsepower, but 3 of the 4 strongest N/A (as far as dyno numbers go) automatic Machs that I've seen here run an aftermarket meter. "cmylxgo" is the only one that didn't at the time that he made like 280hp STD. Jim Vaccaro, BlackMach, and I all are in the exact same range and use a Pro-M. I firmly believe that I'll dyno quite a bit higher once I can figure out what in the heck is killing my power at 4800rpm (see my dyno in this section of the forums). Personally I say whatever has a bigger hole and lets more air go through, makes more power IF you have the means to burn it better, and get it out of the back of your car faster. But you will need additional mods and a good tune to see the benefits of adding an aftermarket meter. Just buying one and putting it on will not really do you any good except for adding a $250 ornament under your hood.

Hope this helps, but it's just my opinion.
blueautomach,

I just happened to see your problem while reading this thread. They were able to solve the loss of power above 4000 RPM on my car by limiting the knock sensors ability to pull so much timing. If your car is not pinging, it's not necessary for them to pull so much timing. I think mine are limited to only 2 degrees now. I picked up over 30hp above 4000 after this. Hope this helps.

Rob
