did my untuned Supercharger just blow my motor?
i have a vortech v-2 that i just put on and its been fine for the past week waiting to get it tuned on monday and tonight i was drivign home after i blew an oil line and my muffler fell off and i ran over it lol(BAD NIGHT) and an sti was driving next to me so i gave him a little pull like 2-3seconds and i lost power so i immediatly shut it off and pulled over. when i start it up it sounds like its missing really bad its not smoking nor is there any clanking noises or anything. when i give it some gas although its missing real bad but it dosen't sounds liek anything is grinding or knocking or anything it sounds liek its running smoothly. do you think i just fouled out my plugs or did my stupidity get me in more trouble?

why were you even thinking about giving it any more than necessary throttle to make that car move without a tune?
if nothings cluncking then you might have just fouled out the plugs. might wanna pull them and take a look

I hope nothing is wrong but you shouldn't get on it at all without a tune. You are probably around 30* timing now when it should be around half that with a blower. Also, your air fuel is completely off. You definately should have a tune.

wow... just... wow....
pull plugs, they will tell you alot about whats happening in the motor
id even go as far as to turn the motor over by hand a little, to make sure everything feels smooth
lets hope it didnt detonate its ***** off and **** **** up...
