as far as tuning under boost my sled only hit 4 lbs on the stand (not enough load) so i couldn't really do much until we got it on the snow.

should i get my numbers as close as i can on a stand before i take it to the snow ? or just do it all on the snow

You can't tune anything on a stand, well except set your idle and input the box numbers. I like to get my cruising fuel requirements close first, then work on the boost fuel doing short bursts 2-3 seconds. It doesn't take long to squeak a motor under boost. Start your box numbers a little richer than what the instructions state and take the time the first time to tune the thing in. Also a good idea is to start with low boost, use good gas and 'ween' the octane down or ease the boost up after the box.

run 6-7 psi, also it wont hurt to run a few gallons of race the first ride just for extra insurance incase something isnt working right.
