Since all of the Supercharger kits come with some sort of fuel enrichment
already, yes it works very well. The user was talking about the custom
flash because the Mopar PCM wasn't available. (Also appears that the
purchased a S/C kit as well...comes with fuel enrichment already. At least
Powerdyne, Vortech, Paxton, ATI, and KenneBell do.) ;)

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".
