Just replaced supercharger. Ran then died. Now code 58.

The crank sensor can be a PITA to change, but not expensive. You're talking 2-3 hours, working through the RF wheelwell. If you're sure VATS isn't the problem, it might be worth shotgunning that sucker. It'll cause the ignition problems you think you're seeing, but I've never heard of a 'flaky' one. They either work, or they go kaput. None of this on again off again crap. You may have some crud on it that makes a detectability difference with the discriminator rings, but I'm not the crank sensor expert. If your fuel system looks good, ignore the cam sensor.

Well, I don't know. I am not going to just put some parts on and hope they fix it. I will try to trouble shoot the car. If it ends up being a pain or looking expensive, I will part the car out. Easy as that. I guess it may potentially be a "boneyardville" soon....
Seriously. If anyone needs some parts, I have a brand new supercharger with 2 different diameter pulleys, new GM SRTA transmission, operating trac control and ABS, brand new CD transport in the CD player, good heads up and gauge cluster, white wheels, brand new balancer, and a bunch more. I'll sell the whole car for what I have in it at this point or I'll part. Sheesh, now I know why I like F bodies so much...

It sounds like you need to get a good service manual, or take it to the dealer. In the service manual, there are many different types of flow charts that tell you what to do when you get the code 58.
Is your engine cranking every time you turn it? If so, it sounds like it may be a loose ground or power to your Pass Key II system. There is a wire that goes between the Pass Key II and the PCM that tells the PCM to enable the injectors. That signal is what appears to be intermittent.
It is probably caused by the weakest link, in other words, the battery, ignition feed, or ground to the Pass Key II; the Pass Key II itself; the signal to the PCM; or the PCM itself.
It sounds like an intermittent electrical problem, which can be tough.

Iam going to pull the supercharger back off tonight and see if maybe the supercharger to intake gasket was sucked in due to insufficient flow through the supercharger. This would be due to the larger pulley that may have not allowed the air to flow; just a shot in the dark. Like I said, it ran great until I hit the throttle then it just died.
