Default Header intake question......

So I have heard that running the supercharger and a CAI will cause the car to run dangerously lean, but I have heard that the headers make the car run rich, so would running the headers and a cold air intake essentially equal each other out and not present a too rich or too lean situation? Mind you now though this is with a 9.5 PSI pulley.

the header doesnt have anything to do with with the air/fuel ratios of your engine. your air fuel ratios are determined by your intake, compressor and fuel injectors. the header just empty's out the exhaust after the combustion cycle is done, as in, AFTER the air and fuel have already been combined and ignited.

now seriously though, if you want a cai on your supercharged tc, just get a piggy back ecu, some bigger injectors and get it properly tuned to a safe a/f ratio, and your good to go.

first of all, you won't be running lean, you'll be running rich...and yeah, like drax said...the header will have nothing to do with the richening or leaning out of the air fuel ratio
