    everytime i start the car it wont idle by itself until the temp reaches aruond 100. I have to keep tapping the gas. Is this because of the supercharger? I know other guys who are n/a or nitrous cars and they idle perfectly fine w/o tapping the gas, and they dont have chokes either. The carb is a csu and its been to the dyno and tuned. Maybe not tuned correctly though?? :huh: Whats going on here?

    The simple answer may be your idle is too lean..

    A more complicated answer may be in your choke adjustment.. Is the fast idle screw set properly..Is the choke valve being pulled off too much..Ect. ect. ect..

    there is no choke. :huh:
    if I set the idle screw a little deeper when it warms up it will idle about a 1000
