    did you take the spark plug wires off the plugs, or the coils? if so maybe you got 2 crossed up.

    Ignore the supercharger on the car. Same spots for plugs and everything

    The engine will not go over 4000 in park. It is not supposed to.

    You're positive the vacuum lines are fine and not broken?

    The best way to test for a miss without moving is to put the car in drive, hold the brake with your left foot and hold the throttle open with your right. Don't hold it too long so not to overheat the trans.

    To me it sounds like a vacuum leak, check your lines and also that the uim is sealed, I had to go a little over the torque recommendation for a true seal
