I put down 339rwhp with 14* total timing, and 13.5 a/f ratio. I was actually hoping for more, but that will come with some sort of cooling. Also I still have stock TB and Plenium so that is hurting me for now.
WOAH that is WAY To lean dude, you are gonna blow something.

Yeah, I was looking at that too.....one guy is at 11.5 (really rich) and another at 13.5 (really lean). You need to be in the 12.5-12.8 range.

what kind of boltons do you have? 339 doesnt seem like much. I thought with some boltons and a supercharger I could get around 400rwhp

Actually code 11.5 is very good for a blown application. The guy that tuned my car knows what he is doing. I got it tuned up by Mike Dez of Dez racing. I was told that anything in the 12s is to lean. In the 12s your asking for detonation! Also me and the other kid with blowers are both runing 11.5 a/f. The 13.5 everyone keeps refering to was no on a blower car!

The Mrs' S/C Stang was right at 12.5 A/F and it was tuned by Mike Murillo. Not hating on your tuner, but check your plugs.

I hear you code, but from what I have heard and read 11.5 is right on. Your wifes car also had a built bottom end correct? I don't so I think a safer 11.5 would suit me just fine. Just as a side note I also read many posts over at MPH and everyone seems to agree that 11.5 to 11.8 is right on. Lower then that like in the high 10s you plugs will foal and higher you run the 'risk' of detonation. But I am in no way arguing with you cause your Code3GT dominator of all N/A's!! Thanks for you help though with the lightning MAF I ended up using it and it worked great.

Good to hear. Just keep an eye on your plugs. Yeah, the Mrs' was built. Sometimes rich can be just as bad as lean. Once you get a few miles on her, go back to the dyno and check A/F. Good luck and CONGRATS again.

I have a 5 speed with no other bolt ons. I still have the stock TB/Plenum. I don't know why my numbers were lower then some other people on the board, but everyone I talk to say thats on par were it should be. Doing the math I gained 111 HP which with just the blower I think is good. I will be switching out some stuff soon to see if I can get more out of my girl. Nanaki I know you got a TB/Plenum and said there was no need for a retune correct? How about new mid pipes, will that be a reason for re-tune?
