I found a strange situation and was wondering if anyone else ran into this.
Aftermarket items installed:
Paxton Super Charger
Bellanger Headers
Random Steel Cats
Corsa exhaust
Either my computer is getting to hot and not functioning properly
Or the Fuel/timing box for the Paxton Super Charger is getting hot and not working properly.
Here is why I say that:

- I drive the car or let it run for 20 minutes the engine compartment is up to full operating temperature.
- Leaving the hood closed. Shut the car off for 10 minutes.
- Start the car and try to drive it, it backfires and misses terribly.
- I open the hood for 20 minutes to leave everything cool down.
- I then start it and it drives perfectly.

- I started the car leaving everything heat up.
- I tried driving it. It missed.
- I open the hood and checked the temperature of the boxes (185 F)
- I put a fan blowing on the two boxes for 5 minutes
- The car ran fine.
- I was thinking of cutting a 5 inch hole in the hood fake vent over the brake master cylinder. To leave the hot air rise when car is not running.
- Install a fan blowing on the computer. Running ductwork of course.
