Car looses all power after engine is warm.

97 GT with saleen supercharger. When I first crank up the car it is amazing. After it warms up all the power drops off. Any ideas?

all cars loose some power when they run hot. Is it alot of power you are loosing or is it just a little bit? Try adding a cooler for the blower, maybe even a bigger radiator.

Its not running over 220 and I have "40 below" in the coolant jug for the intercooler. Its loosing a lot of power. The intercooler runs the length of the opening on the bottom on the front of the car. And has two small fans. Could something be wrong with the supercharger?
