alright, got kit hookd up (SF kit) and gave it a few runs as it boosts and pulls but when it hits 4000 rpm and around 4lbs of boost , it cuts out........ any suggestions....... it is like the car is trying to die or like it hits its rev limiter.......

Did you upgrade your fuel system at all? Thats the first thing that came to mind, if you can try to just rev it up at from outside the car under the hood and see if it still cuts out then.

...

Any check engine light? The car is going into safe mode, hence the rev limiter at 4000 RPMs...
