guys pushing boost
if you installed your chargers yourself, how did you get the car to a tuner, did you drive it? did you use the crappy flash tuner that comes with the kit, then have a dyno tune put on???

RE: guys pushing boost
I tried using the chip that came with the SC, but the car wouldn't run, so I bought an SCT tuner and the guy I bought it from, ask me all I had done to the car and tuned it best he could until I got it dynotuned. By the time I got it there, it was way rich like A/F was 10. Better than lean I suppose. I also did my best to stay out of boost and in vacuum range since I didn't know how good the tune was. Never just run the tune it comes with, always get her dyno tuned and yes I did drive it for several months before dyno tuning it.

I wouldnt ever trust my car without looking atleast a dyno pull of the a/f ratio even with the mongoose kit. Those base tunes that come on the chip are a complete joke... hell the procharger kit i have on they want you to use the stock MAF. What a joke I pegg'ed a 90mm lightning maf let alone a stocker.
