Since a supercharger also needs more fuel - even the Superchips ICON wouldn't
work as it modifies the timing only. To answer a previous posters question
about PCM upgrades - there are many choices in the aftermarket. The good ones
are over $1000. My choice would be Fel-Pro's SEFI-8LO. Considering his charge,
by the second time someone gets Mike Leach to burn in a new program - you could
have purchased a system that allows an unlimited number of "programs".
