A Few Walbro/S-AFC/Tuning Questions...

I've installed my S-AFC, and Walbro in preperation for my ported wastegate and RB turboback going on tomorrow. After thats done, it will be like a week before I can do a dyno tune, but should I be running rich enough untuned with the S-AFC to boost without any problems? Or should I wait until after tuning it before getting on it?

Also, i'm gonna probably go to Acosta for my dyno, and its like $100/hr there. First off, will they help with the tuning and everything? I'm pretty clueless as this is my first S-AFC and dyno venture here. Also, for a basic 10psi tune will it take any more than an hour to get it tuned?

Another thing, with the mods listed below, and no FMIC or upgraded injectors or anything, am I good to boost at like 11psi? I heard that would be the max I wanna do, but should I go with the 11psi and get some extra power, or is it not even worth it and I should stay around 10psi and keep it safe?

Lastly, anyone want to take a guess at my 1/4 mile time and whp before I test it out? Here are my mods, i'm just curious to see what kind of numbers other people have gotten with similar setups, and i'm talking rwhp here, and assuming i'm a decent drag driver.

I wouldn't get on it before a $50-100 dyno session. It'll cost about $2k to fix it if it pops.

Think it can be tuned in under an hour? Also about the 10/11 psi thing, which should i shoot for?

You should be able to tune the SAFC in under an hour for 10-11 PSI.

I think i started dumping fuel in at about 4500 when i had that setup.

However... As long as you keep it around 10 PSI, you should be OK. BUT, man, take it to the dyno before you really get on it a lot. I;d probablramp 'er up a bit after 4500 just to be safe.. more fuel is not going to kill your car (your sparkplugs maybe)
