    Don't get me wrong Tom, I'm not running the crap out of it I just never romped on it in the past and when I did it's not like it took off, after the RPM increased it jumped up and went. Like I said, what you'd experience with low vacuum with a 4 bbl carb.

    Gregg thanks for the good advice, that was the next step I had planned. Want to dyno it before and after the Supercharger. Found a place in the next town over that has 4wd dyno. The tires are only P245/60/R18 so that's not an issue.

    Just rattlin yer cage dude.

    One other possibility is that your timing could be slightly off. IIRC our engines have some sort of auto adjusting timing but if the timing belt is off by 1 tooth, then it could exhibit the symptoms you describe.

    I just noticed in the Amigo this morning that I had a pronounced hesitation right around 2400 RPM. I'm also getting a whine that sounds like it could be the TB tensioner. I hope it was just a quirk & that it's running smooth on drive home tonight. BTW the Amigo has the 3.2L engine so very similar to the VX 3.5L.

    the supercharger reference I wonder if that is a factor
