    What size of pulley is on the supercharger? Sometimes previous owners just leave a smaller pulley on the car and sell everything else you need to run that small of pulley. If your running too much boost under higher rpms it will stutter and misfire from all the knock and pulled timing.

    What plugs and gap are you using? Doublecheck the wires and switch the coil packs around to see if your still getting the misfire on that cylinder to rule that out.
