OK, so this is my 1st supercharged vehicle but I have owned a turbo vehicle before. I'm pretty good tech stuff, but I want to see if this is a common problem that I'm having to save some time. I just bought this car (05 GT) that has a Kenne Bell 2.6 SC on it with other bolt on parts. When I was test driving it, it hesitated once or twice and then cleared up so I thought it was bc it has been sitting up. Now today, its doing it again but not going away. When I punch it in 1st it will start hesitating and then clear up in the higher RPMS and do the same thing going into 2nd. I'm thinking spark plugs to start with..Possibly? Also, I think its getting too much blow by. In the catch tube he has (supposely came with the SC kit) has about an inch of oil in it just from a day of playing around. Granted I have been punching it everywhere I go...haha. But i dont think its supposed to be getting this much blow by...Any members with this kit or knowledge, please give me some pointers...Hate to have this much power but cant use it

Check for air leaks in the intake system after the MAF.

I think we figured most of it now....Working on getting it retuned.

1st problem - traction control was on so car was wanting to bog when i spun the tires
2nd problem - old owner had a gt500 rear axle in it with different gears but then put the original axle back in it and didnt tune it back to the original gear ratio.

Hopefully these 2 things fixes the issues...
