Go to the OBC, test #20 and reset the factor from stock 1000 to around 1180 and adjust from there. Should be close.

Thanks for the info though!
I just saw this and it reminded me when I got my car back and the computer was telling me 26 MPG or so but, damn if I was not filling the car up about every 220 miles.

I fully understand what you are saying but , I would prefer a tad bit better mileage ( Even with the cheap USA gas ) and will get a tad bit better mileage when I get the car sorted out a bit more.( Even with the 42 pound injectors ) My AFRs are a bit high , the Blower is only spinning at 48000 RPM at 6K, the charge piping can be smoothed out a bit to flow better ( Maybe an RMS aftercooler someday ) and the exhaust needs a bit of work,so maybe here in the near future the car will be operating more as I had intended.The car never leaves my sight again.......I have to send the Differential off to be converted to a LSD , so a part of the car has to leave my sight actually, I just thought about that....

Not sure if your question is directed at anyone in particular, so I will give you my thoughts.
I live in SoCal, gets real hot, so between the heat and extra heat generated by a supercharger along with my occasion track days is why I elected to add one.

Hope this helps

(As per our other "how many?" thread)... VT550. installed in August of '09.

Some other stuff I've done: Dinan Stage 2 suspension system, UUC short shift kit w/ DSSR. Active Automotive brake cooling ducts.(they were the cold air intake before the SC kit), Supersprint Race exhaust, Stainless braided brake lines, Cool Carbon street/track brake pads, 3.45 final drive gear, Beastpower sway bar brackets, and a few other expensive things that that make it more fun to drive. Just turned 78K miles!

Regards,
Steve
