<< Vortech has a fuel management unit that comes with the kit. It is

 accordingly. The supercharger has a definite whine at idle but with the
 under hood mat you can barely hear it in the cab. I haven't had it on long
 enough to determine my detonation situation. Like I said, I have installed
 a Boost Master which is supposed to dial back the timing under boost. I
 will also install a 180 thermostat.

If your R/T's timing curve is anything like the Ram's, with the stock pulley
(5-6 psi, right?) you shouldn't need any boost retard as long as you run good
gas and it's not too hot out .. I doubt it'd ping when it's hot out either
with the stock pulley, but I've never tried ..
