Default Tuning stock ecu after supercharger install?

This may sound like a stupid question (Yes - I've search but couldn't find the answer). I'm planning on supercharging my AP1 soon and running a stock ecu. I know that you should get it dynoed to ensure the afr is good. But if it's not good, can a tuner adjust my fuel and timing map?

TIA

if you buy a comptech kit, it comes with everything necessary to run with only your stock ecu and no tuning is required.

you can go to the dyno to see what your car makes though.

u can tune it though if you have an adjustable FMU. some have a screw on them that you can turn to increase fuel pressure in boost.

^If that was to me I have a Vortech kit.

OP just get a wideband gauge. Don't need to go on the dyno or anything. A wideband will show you your afr and can continue to monitor them.
