Supercharging risks

[Camaro Dom]

ok, so i've done all my homework. I know how supers work, i've found a few kits on the internet, and now im really looking for someone to lay out exactly what i need to moniter once the super is in, and how to moniter it. I know i need to make sure that the fuel doesnt lean out but how do i watch to make sure it doesnt happen? also, what else should i be watching for? any and all help would be sweet.

an air/fuel gauge with a wideband O2 sensor will monitor that.

yup..get a WBO2, fuel gauge, and boost gauge..make sure your fuel supply is up to par..injectors and fuel pump should you need them..HP Tuners is a good thing [img]smile.gif[/img]

and a fuel pressure gauge as well.

you don't have to have a boost gauge...but it does complete the package. having a boost gauge does let youknow HOW much boost you are running to compare with the fuel pressure gauge and the wideband.

there is also a cheaper wideband rig from the makers of the LM1. it does not come with a gauge. its primary purpose is for logging to external device such as a lap top with tuning software. the more expensive widebands do that as well but they also come with an external gauge.

sweet! i appreciate everybody's help. as far as all these gauges go, where should i put them all? i dont think you can mount more than two on an a-pillar pod. oh, with the air-fuel ratio, where should i probably be at with that, i.e. what is safe? im betting that fuel pressure should probably stay at the same psi as it is now right? anywho thanks again!

or if you dont like that, just be creative. ive seen gauges everywhere, including in what were previously vents,and in the hole under the radio.
