engine bogging down
My Saleen is bogging down when I go to get on it. If I drive normal its fine, but when I put it to the floor and the SC kicks in the boost jumps to about 5lbs ( running 10lbs pulley) and the car bogs down. I detailed my engine this morning using 50/50 mix of simple green and water and then used a engine detailer by Gunk called CEB1. I avoided electrical and alternator best I could. Also it surges some when idling. A buddy said I probably had some water or something in my plugs and it would dry out, but I wanted to be sure. thanks Josh

Also, what kind of intake are you running, and keep it simple for me please, I am just learning these cars. Something like open cone, fwi, or something of that sort will work for me.

RE: engine bogging down
It could be a lot of things. One possibility is that your fuel pump is going bad, and can't keep up with the fuel demand at WOT. I would check your tune on a dyno, and check your fuel pressure under load. If your fuel pressure under load is flat and not rising, it is probably a bad pump.
