Default 92 SSE! stutters at boost

Hi im newbe and my SSE! is sick. I have owned a 92 SSE for years and its been a great ride 260xxx and still rolling. Currently I purchased another 92 but upgraded to the supercharger and 150xxx cheap do to the smashed hood and busted raditor did not set off bags thou and rest of car in mint condition. perfect green metalic macth for my parts to swap. according to prevouis owner the SSE! had fresh tune up "3000 miles" and snout rebuilt same time. now with new radiator i start it and its got a miss at idle so i changed plugs with ngk. tr-55 v idled good but if you hold brake and accelerat it runs smooth and powerful up to 1lbs+of boost then it stutters 20% loss of power but still has power to accelerat to full boost? Changed out plug wires but same results car was almost out of gas so i drove it station and filled up with 93 oct. still same results came to a full stop and then let the horses run full out up to 125+ and stilll same problem that was two weeks ago since then changed air filter, new battery, checked the coil with spark gauge fixed two bear wires near alternator and stutters now at -3lbs boost and has rough idle. HELP Thanks

Mine acted similarly when my fuel pump was dying.

I think 40+ at idle and around 48 at WOT is normal.

41 is minimum spec for key on, engine not running. And it should take at LEAST several minutes to bleed down.

Have you checked the coil packs?
http://www.bonnevilleclub.com/forum/...e=article&k=33

Even though you're getting spark, could be weak primary / secondary problem within the coil.

I had a similar problem: When I stepped on the gas, and reached + boost, the car would stumble.
I removed each pack and tested as Will outlines in the link, found one that was weak, and I replaced it.
The result? When I stepped on the gas, I nearly peeled the tires off the rims

Please keep us posted.

Are both of your cars supercharged, and if not, which one are we talking about here?

You should have been running premium fuel to BEGIN with. It'* required if you're supercharged.

the SSE is not supercharged and may end up being a future parts car; I will check the coils more, I purchased the supercharger a few weeks ago and brought back from Indiana end of January. The supercharger is what im working on.
