Good day everyone. So after months and months of planning, purchasing parts, and talking to people...my car if finally tuned with the new supercharger. First off, I want to thank Rich from Abel Chevy, Ryan (69dodgecharger), Arun, and Mark Romans (my tuner). Without all of their help and knowledge this would not have been possible. Also, thanks to everyone else that contributed to my questions for the past year on this topic.
The car seems to run great but I wanted to post the sheets on here as I wanted others that are familiar with tuning to tell me what they think.
The following mods were done: Vortech A&A V2 (3.6 pulley), 3.42 rear, 243 (ls2) heads with aftermarket valvetrain, ls6 cam, other supporting mods.

That is exactly why I posted. I wanted to know your input on the tune. What should I be looking for with AFR throughout the RPM range? Is the AFR suppose to go up and down like that or should it be stable?

Well, I think this is a bit sensitive issue.
I'm not certainly an expert, but AFR should be fairly constant during WOT, but since it's just a guess which numbers are available in the pics you posted, it is difficult to say anything.
HP Tuners (or EFILive etc.) logs would tell more, but I guess they reside in your tuners laptop.

I would say you should be around 11.3 from 5k to redline... 12 + is too lean IMO for a boosted car... Now if you were NA it would be a different story.
So, should I go back to my tuner and demand that the AFR be flat throughout the rpm range? How can I tell if I am having belt slippage?
It should be pretty flat and it doesnt look like its slipping to me... You can check to see if you have belt dust around the pulleys and on the belt it self
Im surprised Mark Romans let it leave like that... Hes a pretty good tuner from my understanding

How much timing? You are still running stock manifolds and cats correct? A4 or m6? Fueling definitely needs some work. What is done to your fuel system?
Not sure on your question about "how much timing"?? I am still running stock manifolds, and cats. A4. Fuel system: BAP and 60lbs injectors that came with the kit. That's it.
To youngrigo - Did not notice any belt dust at all in the engine bay or on the belt itself.
The tuner has it fairly rich at under 11.0:1 A/F - but I think you're probably maxing out the MAF above 6200rpm and the tuner isn't "raping" the PE table to compensate. If it were me, I'd ask the tuner to set the rev-limiter to 6200rpm
AFR is way rich and needs to be cleaned up, do it in increments, not all at once.. You also need to find out how much timing he has tuned in all through the rpm range. Are you running meth injection? how much boost are you seeing? with your numbers, I would say 5-6 psi?
looking the spreadsheet it looks like he got out of it at 6400 where is was 12.0 af. Thats safe but right there on the edge imo. I run 11.0 on e85 and made good power. We may lean on it but Id rather be safe than sorry.
