I use to have this same problem, I lowered my fuel pressure and it went away, weird.

Excellent point, but i would have to ride wit the windows down, esp since I have all that smoke coming out my tail pipes.. ?? Better yet, link me to a place with good gas masks, then it will look like I am in a race truck

No, don't remove the a/c. Just route all the ducts to the throttle body and turn it on full blast. This is a supercharger and an intercooler all in one unit. Then just get a turbo whistler and put it on you tailpipe so it sounds like a turbo.

then get a nitrogen tank and run a line from that to your intake then you got nitro, supercharger, intercooler and then a turbo effect

Make sure you add lots of timing, thats where the power is.

Well if your going to run nitro, just make sure you get a 5 inch monster tach and put it on the dash so you can't see in front of you. Because your factory tach isn't compatible with nitro. Everybody knows that.
