Novi 1000 tough to tune?

**hollant** · 06-19-2003, 06:17 PM

I have heard a couple of folks say that the Novi 1000 is tough to tune. Is there any truth to this? I am planning on installing one on a 93 Cobra. Is the Novi any more difficult to install or tune than any other supercharger?

Thanks!

Pure propaganda. I never had tuning issues related to the Novi. When I had my Novi-1k it worked like a champ, just have to understand the fundamentals of tuning a forced induction vehicle is all you really have to understand.

But a reputable tuner can be of assistance as well.

I had some small idle issues untill I got a bypass valve.
But all was well after that

I second the notion of ditching the FMU!

Beautiful car!!

What is the issue with the FMU?

What IS an FMU? I'm new here, lol :)

Fuel Management Unit. It raises fuel pressure under boost, but can be eliminated with bigger injectors, and mass airflow unit.
Custom chip also helps.
