Weird problem

[MEAN LT1]

I know most of you are ford guys, but maybe you can relate,

Well, I was driving to work this morning and I noticed that when I snap the throttle it feels like the car compleatly cuts off. I know it didnt do this before the s/c. I havent done any kind of tuning and I havent really gone into boost b/c Im running full timing and no fuel pump right now. It doesnt do this when just normally accelerating but when I snap the throttle a little, it feels like fuel cuts off and then the car comes back on and drives normallly until I do it again. Any ideas?

Just a wild guess, but usually when you go supercharged you should go with a colder spark plug and gap them at lower so you won't get spark blow out. Also, and after market ignition system never hurt anyone with forced induction, may want to consider this.
I am not familiar with what kind of fuel system requirements your car needs, however I would think that you need to upgrade the injectors/pumps to get adequate fuel to the motor for the additional air.
Also, I may be wrong, but you might need to get your meter recalibrated.
someone else may post who has a better idea of your setup.

More than likely it is spark blow out just like Dan said. You should buy plugs that are 1-2 ranges colder, and gap them consideribly smaller. I am not sure what your gap is now, but you should be down somewhere around .030 or a little smaller to .025 or so.

Thast what I kind of figured as well, I havent gotton the colder plugsin yet but am planning too. I do have a msd digital 6 ignition on my car with som etaylor wires. LT1's dont need there maf's recalibrated but the car dose need tuning as I am currently running full timing which needs to be backed down alot. Thanks guys. I'll be putting on the ngk tr6's in a few.:)
