Tuning for forced induction is a whole different can of worms. Except a roots blower with a pair of Holleys on top, that's still relatively easy. Any serious (re: not a street rod, but a racecar) blown or turboed engine deserves EGT probes in it's headers to keep that investment in one piece, and make all the power it can. It is all to easy to make great power, just in time to find out you burned holes through the tops of all your pistons.
