What would happen to your engine if you had a rich tune with your supercharger.. what would happen to your engine..

The problem is you don't know if you're rich at all RPM's with out a dyno tune. If you can honestly keep it under 3,500 RPM and don't detonate/ping until you get it tuned, the only draw back will be poor drivability.

I just installed my supercharger and used the factory recomended FMU disc and dailed in a safe setting on the BTM (Boost Timming Module)and my car runs great. No pinging or missing after I changed plugs. I set the timming were recomended and it rips. Just tune it safe with timming and fuel and you will be fine until your dyno tune

its better to be rich then lean, you know what they say you can never have to much fuel with a blower but as soon as you dont [Eek!] just get a tune so you know your safe. i did. [patriot]

i wouldn't worry too much if your running rich unless it's really rich. Otherwise just wait for a tune [patriot]
