Well did you tune it?

Or did you at least upgrade injectors and fuel pump to support boost?

Can't really just slap a procharger on something and expect to run fine.

That's silly to say you can just plumb in a extra fuel supply and call it good. No idea why procharger would sell something like that.

The engine/computer doesn't even know supercharged.

I said the same thing ProCharger claims the fuel management system works off of vacuum boosting the fuel pressure 1 lb for every pound of boost being that my truck is in 02 they say the computer wasn't sophisticated enough for a program maybe I was lied to the truck runs great but seems to be under lean conditions with no Knox

The P01 computers of that time are some of the most tune-able computers out there right now.

Nearly 90% of them support special upgrade-able 2 or 3 BAR operating systems with boost enrichment control when using tuning softwares like HP Tuners or EFI Live.



One thing to note, if the wideband is behind the cats you will likely get incorrect readings on the wideband and hearing knock and seeing knock on a scan tool are pretty different. You may not hear anything but the engine is retarding lots of timing because of knock that is see. A scan tool would show it.

Before you get into boost again I'd get a tune from a reputable tuner. There are plenty of shops in your area that can handle this. If you're truly seeing 13.9 under WOT you're literally on borrowed time before you melt a piston.
