Smell not burnt just cooked. So i stop and start from 0 and i shift by hand 0-6000 rpm 1,2,3,4 and then drive and it gets around 4k and 120 mph and just stops again like it goverend. It crawls to 124 then just declines itself even though im in the pedal. So i have checked the oil the fuel pump the coolant all is good pulleys are stock? Any ideas???? I cant even cruise i can cruise into 116-118 and then it stops itself and wont go any more??????

Sounds like the beginning of the IC pump failure at the upper end of the RPM range. It will probably start happening at lower RPM soon. The supercharger is shutting down and going into limp mode as a fail safe mode, otherwise the heat will cook the supercharger. The replacement of the IC Pump is about $125.00 + installation charges if you don't do it yourself.
Use the search button and look up IC Pump failures.....
