High Performance burn obsolete??
Ken,
I am wondering, if I install a supercharger on my 2000 4.2L manual, will the high performance tune be worth it? I was under the impression it would lean out the fuel, and with the added leaning of a supercharger, could very well lead to detonation. Is this true?
If so, is my only option a custom burn? If this is the case, do you offer a 2 stage, one stock, the other custom at all? I am confused about the chip issue. If I can't really run the high performance burn because of mods and the supercharger, then all I can do is run the custom and unhook the belt to the SC and turn to stock.
What is the best possible solution? What kind of added performance are we looking at as far as 1.4 mile times in addition to the other modifications and upgrades I have made, Headers, exhaust, supercharger?
Thanks for answering this, it is what is delaying me from submitted in order. I have already filled out the custom burn sheet with all this listed.

Any way you go will require a custom chip. The stock computer cannot handle a supercharger... you either can purchase a custom as part of the package, or from another company such as ours. We've seen very mixed results with the chips that come with supercharger packages, and especially poor results with the chips that KB supplies. The chips they supply as an option with superchargers tend to have a very conservative tune.
A custom chip will add about 1/2 to 3/4 second to this application, over what the chip that comes with it will do.

Ok Ken. I was under the impression that this kind of supercharger was bolt on for stock trucks. But I just realized that the computer in a stock supercharged truck is probably made to compensate.....LoL. Man...Do you offer a chip with only a custom tune?

Yes. What we do is make a conservative tune. You use this to put the truck on a dyno and get an air/fuel graph. We then send a second chip that is more aggressive based on the graph and you send us back the 1st chip.

Ok, and to have the conservative and aggressive tune on the same chip, is that the same as having a high performance burn and the custom on a stage 3. Or is it just a compensation tune, rather than high performance? Thanks for answering my ludacris questions Ken!
