cheap gas on a supercharged car is only asking for trouble let alone one with 9.85 compression from the factory and no tune and if I remember correctly you still have 24 lb injectors.

when you say cheap gas what do you mean? Cheap as in 87 at the Cheveron or 91 at the QUick Stop or 87 at the QUick Stop? RPM's are dropping when coming to a stop sounds like alternator to me. But I'm just guessing

I don't know why but everytime I drive by a Rotten Robbie I laugh. ![[Embarrassed]](redface.gif)
When your rpm "go lower" and eventually die is it after you run your car hard? or during regular driving? Can you start it back up again?
If you're just idling and it dies, it could be the alternator.

maybe your fuel filter is clogged up, my car used to run fine then i would put in the clutch and my rpms would drop and then the engine would shut off, i changed the fuel filter and the problem never happened again
