Yes you do. There's a guy that used to live right near me. His screenname is Graphite03. As far as I can see, he was the first one to boost a 2.0 NGC car. With just a AFPR and a MAP clamp, that "piece of crap" NGC computer kept those A/F ratios dead on right through to redline. He's since got rid the car because he got a job in Honolulu and had no way of getting the car there.

Your dyno sheet didn't surprise me at all. It's so easy for someone to piss on NGC just because they don't take the time to see what benefits it offers. I wish you luck in developing your supercharger setup. I'd love to mess with something like that, but I'm in the process of working with an underpriveledged turbo Dodge right now :lol:

Ok is it just me or does that A/F ratio from the equation look rich for running 400hp. Im no rocket scientist but doesnt that rob some power?

the srt likes to be around 11.5-11.8 when i switch to a blank fuel map and let the a/f's go into 10's i can feel that the car is much much slower.

Thats all Im saying is that with a LITTLE leaner condition you may be able to pull of the same power with less psi so your not straining the turbo

I just remembered what Graphite did. His car ran 14.7:1 everywhere, until he added his 5th injector. Then it ran rich in boost.

NGC = a new style computer that is found in 03+ Neons.

There is a lot of information here in regards to the NGC computer. Search around a bit, if you are interested.
