Default Weird problem

I know Im not ls1 powered but im force inducted just like the rest of yall, your help is apreciated.
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?

if you snap the throttle on a supercharged car you will see boost. get your ducks in a row before playing with fire.. i lost my stock engine that way..

as for the miss.. hard to say, could just be the computer needing time to learn. need to do the above then get it on auto tap.

I hear what your saying, but if that was the case wouldnt it do it all the time?. Maybee your misunderstanding me when I say Im snapping the throttle. The peddle doesnt go anywhere near the floor and im not going into boost. I'll scan it and what is happening when it does that. I just thought it was just weird that it did that now and didnt do that before. thanks for the quick reply Mighty.M
