    Not sure whats wrong with it? Its a 306 , but it still has over 100,000 miles on it and the supercharger. I've got to get a timing light and check that. I might just turn it a little and see if it improves any. I just bogs off the line. At flashlight , I launched at 5500 and it bogged down in first then just wont pull like it used to. And wont build 8psi very fast. Found one problem the belt was rubbing on itself between the water pump/fan and tensioner because I put manual steering and I guess that was close enough for the person who installed the kit and belt.

    so if you have any idea what else it could be let me know? thanks...

    I just put the tranny, rear end, and cage in. Next year or so, new motor. But yes I agree about letting other people work on your car and things done when you buy them. I've been correcting the previous owners mistakes. But still have a lot to fix from my previous mechanic. Like seam seal the missing metal where the cage plates are. Doesn't sound like a good idea to me, I'd rather fill with metal.
