    What's the best way to get started?

    How do I start?
    I installed a Supercharger on my C5 m6 '03 (P1SC)
    I'm scared of messing something up so I started it but it idles bad.
    What should I change first, second, then third and so on?
    I want to tune it basically so I can drive it some and them take it to a dyno to do some WOT runs and check power and A/F ratio's!!!!!!!!

    Sorry so long, I just need some guidance.

    Check Long Term FT Banks and timing. - 8LTs at idle and 0 @ WOT.Timing 18 deg @ WOT 27 to 29.

    Readings at WOT only
    H02S Bank 1s (900mv) +-10mv Less than 890mv is lean

    dumb question perhaps, but wouldnt you want to be richer then .900 MV on a forced induction application??

    I think you want to place less faith in onboard O2
    voltage readings in a boosted app; more exhaust heat
    will send them lower for a given AFR (so perhaps staying
    at 900mV would represent an actual enrichment) but if
    you're going to play that way you probably would be
    happier, later, if you started using a wideband meter
    now.

    People seem to use more enrichment to fight detonation
    but this would depend a lot on how well intercooled, and
    whether pulling spark back would do better without in
    the power output per airflow sense.
