nice, should be good to start tuning, and you will def need a itake, the stock one wont let you get them most outta your new set up :p dragonfire had the stock one with airbox mod and was very disappointed with the whine, can be so much better with a real intake...
ps ill be selling mine soon, upgrading to the ZZP 3", i have a KnN

What you want to look for is when you drive it, don't go WOT until you see that you are getting power enrichment. I don't know the exact parameters, but around 50% throttle the A/F ratio should drop to the 10's and then go up to as far as 11.5 to 11.8 at WOT.
A lot of times when Vince sends the tune (just from talking with others) he doesn't do something properly with the power enrichment. If you don't see at 50% throttle, or a little more, an immediate drop to the 10's then it isn't working and don't do any WOT runs.
I sent him logs at idle and he said, oh no problem, you are free to do some WOT runs and then I do it and he tells me I'm not getting power enrichment and here I am doing all of these 1-3 gear WOT runs running really lean.

Ok cool. I will start with a data log at idle tomorrow morning. Then send it off. See what he says. So what exactly is power enrichment? And how do i know when my car reaches it?

You should see your car richen up on a wideband (im assuming you have one...if not, then dont go WOT on the first run).
You should be in PE by 5psi...if your not, then tell vince. if you dont have a wideband, just datalog a run where you hit 5psi and send it to him. he'll be able to tell you if PE was working fine.

Hey sorry man I didn't get your PM until it was too late.
You can drive the car with the base tune, just stay in cruise and it will stay around 14.7AFR. Basically, stay outta boost and the car will drive like stock.
When you start tuning you'll have to go into boost eventually, just let out immediately if it goes lean (above 12.0AFR).

last night, i saw high 14s-mid15s at idle! revved to 3k went to 16-17, so i knew there was something wrong, I was going to data log it but a code popped up, p0201 injector on cyl 1 so i ohm'd it out it was good (matched the other injectors at 12.5ohms) so I checked the wiring and the solder broke.. so fixed that. Went to turn it back on and... no start. Turned key to "on" relays started to click, CEL and Security light were blinking. Im guessing my battery is low, cause when I tried to turn her over it just clicked.. So I am just waiting till my friend gets here to try to jump me.. I checked voltage on battery its at 11.47v so.. a bit low.. Will see soon, I hope I can drive it to and from work today..

hey no big, was just trying to get it run like asap.. just excited i guess.
Anyway last night, i saw mid15s-high 15s at idle! revved to 3k went to 16-17, so i knew there was something wrong, I was going to data log it but a code popped up, p0201 injector on cyl 1 so i ohm'd it out it was good (matched the other injectors at 12.5ohms) so I checked the wiring and the solder broke.. so fixed that.

its on the intake manifold where the iat2 would normally go, the iat1 sensor doesnt fit so it required sometime of gasket, (I used a small piece of rubber hose cut a hole in it) and also needs something to hold it in, due to it not having the same hole as the iat2 to hold it in place. I used a piece of metal with a hole in it to keep it down. Works.

So managed to start her up by rolling down the drive way and putting it in gear drop clutch. Started right up. She idled very nicely this time. Got to data log at idle. Then took a light cruise also data logged that. Everything was good till i parked and noticed she is running a bit got due to low coolant.. oops. So will continue tune tomorrow.

I think glen was asking why there is no MAP in the supercharger. Viper did (copied lol) what I did and put a hex socket plug in the hole. It is better looking (in my opinion) and cheaper than a sensor.
Good to hear you got it started. I ran my battery down while I was installing mine too.
Sorry I didn't get back here to answer your A/F ratio question fast enough, but Hunter did a great job answering.
Just have to watch the A/F ratio. Once you go about 50% throttle the power enrichment should kick in.

Ok, well took her out yesterday and she ran fine, filled her up with coolant, temps were alot better. Took her for a spin, semi-moderate, hit 5psi it did jump down to 10 afr, so she is going into power enrichment, so thats good. Going to update the data logs, and see from there.
I did get back to the garage, opened the hood, it seemed very hot under there... I could touch the supercharger (was only like a 5 mile drive, started at op temp.) it was hot but not were I couldnt touch it, the pulley on the other hand was fn hot couldnt touch at all.. is this normal? is it cause its a 2.9"? My iat was at 100*f which is only 10* over ambient.

lol, I think I read it before, really just used stuff lying around.. hey does your pulley get really hot were you cant touch it?
I think im going to try to check the oil level, maybe that has something to do with it..
