Tuning Problem

I just got my 93 mustang tuned with my vortec supercharger and add a Anderson power pipe to it and now it's idling alot higher. Do I just need to retard the timing or get a new tune?

Get a new tune. You will be flowing more air now and you need the tune to compensate with more fuel. You don't want it to lean out

Ya. New tune. You changed the flow characteristics and the cars computer cannot compensate enough.

If you have a intake cam heads etc...that's too small...at least a 70-75mm...do ALL THIS. Before you re-tune the car. And as far as the anderson pms im getting one in the next week or two also...never had/used one but heard they are great! Put that on as well before the tune... gives the tuners a advantage I hear. Good luck lemme know how it works out
