when you're saying "pulling back" are you suggesting it's shuddering when you accelerate? if so it could just be a misfire. if it's still got the stock plug leads on them check for signs of arcing out between then heat shield and the boot at the spark plug end, it's a common issue with the stock leads.

ah thats a good help.. cus i was actually about to do that.. but im not to sure what leads its got on it, i brought it 2nd hand, the guys had it serviced n all.. it might have just standard leads.. what leads should i go for? when i say pulling back like.. hrm the car will spool, it will lift up n go to charge off then it will just stop and will stay exactly where it is lolz its like a tease! its driving me insane shows me the power then does **** all with it lolz so sad =( well anyway, yeah it sorta just like.. splatters.. and jolts around.. it only does it when the car heats up.. first 5 minutes its fine..

i would put it down to leads also the current standard leads are pretty good from holden, top gun leads are rubbish and dont last for crap they start breaking down sooner(hence they are cheap) the genuine leads if you get then fitted by a holden dealer they give you a 2 year 50,000km warrenty on them parts and labour, holden had a few problems with there leads back around 2000-2003 but they have fixed the problem so i would go genuine for sure

is it a standard V6 Charger engine or has a charger been put on a stock V6 VT engine? if so just check what ECU you have aswell i seen alot of people sticking chargers on standatd V6 engines and running it with standard ECU.

This is true becuase the Injectors are in the head itself but if they aint then its just a Ecotec that has been charged. The whole internal design of the supercharger ECOTEC is different to standard aswell it isnt just the heads on it.
