You know it actually wasn't that hard to remove but I wouldn't want to do it five times. Have you had problems or was it non related?

In closed loop the car is calibrated to maintain stoichometric / 14.7 to 1. When in PE (power enrichment) mode the Edelbrock tune is targeted for 11.0 to 1 AFR above 2500rpm. That is rich but not what I would call "very fat". I wouldn't lean it out more than 0.5-0.7 from the 11.0.

Select "Engine", then "Fuel" tab, then "Power Enrich" tab and then select the "EQ Ratio vs RPM" button. That brings up a chart. Target AFR is determined by dividing the value in each cell by stoich of 14.7....piece o' cake!

Its FIXED. Appearently it was the rolled O-rings. Six out of eight of them were rolled. I would have bet the bank that they were ok but they must have been leaking. When I sat the blower the first time I had to slide it into place only about a 1/4 inch but enough to roll the O-rings. I expected to have to slide it a little so I lubed the surfaces so they could slide. I suspect they hooked the side of the port as only one side of the O-rings were twisted. One interesting thing is that it ran fairly good but just not exactly right. I could see how some people with these blowers installed could have one or two O-rings leaking and just not realize it or are tolorating it.
Now I would like to say something important. I want to thank everybody that tried to help me get to the bottom of this. There is one person that I peticularly want to thank and that is Motorhead 47. When he says something by god you had better listen. His common sense and logic got me to pull that blower back off and find the problem. Friend, if we ever meet I'm taking you out for dinner plain and simple!
So thanks again and BTW, that Vette pulls hard and this Edelbrock Supercharger is going to a blast to drive!!!

I can't help wondering why they didn't provide a new set of O-rings in the kit. Also, I wonder if there is any kind of O-ring dressing like permatex or something. I know you wouldn't want to glue the blower to the heads but I would like a little more sealing insurance.
