I'm not an expert on supercharged engines, but I imagine you'll need to lower the timing, especially under boost. You'll need to data log and see where your A/F is. Your best bet would be to pay for some dyno time and see where things are.

A dyno isnt much use when the car wont even go thru the rpms though. What Im trying to figure out is where is my starting point with all of this?
