dont know what my fuel pressure is I do not have a fuel pressure gauge I was running in the low 11 in the 1/4 mile now the best it will run is a 12.17 . The car does not smoke ,no knocking sounds, Like I said in another post I changed the spark plugs and thats when I lost bottom or it least thats when I think it started cause right after I changed the plugs it was raining alot so I did not drive it

Check and see if one of your inlet hoses from the super chsrger to the throtle body has come part way off. Sometimes if they blow part way off you will lose boost and alot of power.

I'm confused, when you say you "lost the bottom end", are you saying you blew the motor? Or are you saying you lost power down low? Also, if you blew a hose apart on the throttle body side of the maf sensor, the car won't run. If you blew it off any where from the blower outlet to the maf sensor, it will not make any boost, or very little. You may have a boost leak somewhere along the way. Like others have said, a boost gauge and fuel pressure gauge are a must with forced induction. Without them, you'll never figure out what your problem is.

CHRISKAW7R:
If you have a s/c you should run TR6's gapped at 35. Esentially what you did was take too hot of a plug and make it hotter by taking the gap out to 60. I m not sure what your bottom end looks like, but if your pistons are toast, holes/big pits ect I would say you had some major detonation possibly caused by the plugs.
