    I just installed my aeroforce intercepter and I searched and saw lots of scattered things but i guess i need specifics. All I've looked at so far is Boost and KR.
    Boost sits at about -19.0 at idle and I got a blip of 0.7*KR for about half a sec during a WOT run.
    The vehicle is stock with the exception of a HAI. I plan to add headers before a pulley drop but with that little amount of KR am i safe to drop pulley and get a tune? what other factors do i need to look at? Thanks in advance.

    I dont like having it on the boost setting.

    the MAP in/hg is more better IMO, and did you have it on KR 1?

    If you are stock, at around the top of the shifts, I bet it will see around 4-5* kr

    Othwise, look at whatever you want, coolant temps, intake air temps, IGN ADV is another good one to see what kind of timing its running. Trans temp.

    I do have it on Kr 1 ( i read the manual for awhile before i played with it). 0.7KR is right before the shift. So if my Kr is that low stock can I pulley down and get a tune?
