Unhappy 2008 Bullitt W/V3 supercharger

I purchased a 2008 Bullitt with a V3 supercharger, it's not getting full power when you get on it. I took it to the local Ford dealership because it still has extended warranty on it. they said everything is fine. On other forums people have said it could be some type of sensor that keeping it from getting full power. I have changed, the plugs, checked the maf, no boost leaks. Please help! Thanks in advance for all of your help.

I think putting a supercharger on a motor will void the warranty.

Dealer probably doesn't want to get involved.

Check the bypass valve?

How do you know what full power is? How do you know it's not running right to begin with since you don't know if it's actually performing any different than when the supercharger was first installed?

Before futzing around with it any further and possibly doing more harm than good, take it to a local performance shop with a dyno and have them check it out. They'll be more likely to tell you what's wrong versus a dealer plus tell you what to expect powerwise.
