    Hey bro, im not overly experienced with super chargers, but i do know a fair bit: does your exhaust sound different than usually? you might have a clogged cat causing there to be too much exhaust being forced back into the engine. i would HIGHLY recommend stop flooring it, drive it very cautiously with rpms, you do not want to much presssure in the engine it could cause: engine blowing (worst case), seals broken, head gasket blowing, cam misfunction, valve seal forced the wrong way, and youre probably sucking way to much fuel.

    Yes as pointed out above I don't have a CAT it's a straight 3' down pipe to the y pipe then flowmaster mufflers, so you can rule out the cat, The exhaust actually helps being so loud cause you can hear when its misfiring, Also when Im in park I will rev the RPMS up to about 4000 right before the supercharger starts to kick in and you can feel and hear the car vibrate and studder so I dont know if that gives any one else a clue of what it could be. I just replaced the ICM as well so the whole ignition system has been replaced now I'm just itching my head of what else....
