    I have a stock 2000 GTP and when i put the pedal to the floor my car seems to chug like its shifting up aqnd down between gears and than my check engine soon light flashes at me. i replcaced all the spark plug wires on it last year. and than one day me and a friend got bored so we put some holes in the exhaust(really dumb idea i know. ill here about it im sure). But i just wanted to know if anybody knows what it might be. if it might be that im not getting enough back pressure for the motor or what. i also havent changed the oil for the supercharger at all. maybe that might have something to do with it?? anything would be helpful. thanks

    You probably have too much back pressure.

    Check the cat and pull your plugs to see if any are damaged.

    just buy new ones

    go to ROCKAUTO.com and search for your car.

    They are like 35ish for one side.

    ANd word of advise, if you buy those, dont install them with the headlight brackets they come with, use the ORIGINAL brackets so they dont bounce.
