I have a 3.8 that has the factory supercharger. The car has a brand new exhaust( front -Back) water pump checked and is fine, coil pack seems ok, not blowing codes. Will run but gets hot if you feather the peddle. Says low collant but is not low, lots of smoke when you run it. Runs like its on 4 cylinders?Any thoughts?

Is the smoke white? Comming out of the exhaust? If so check engine compression for a blown head gasket. Or Block test the radiator, the kit is 50.00 dollars or so, and will confirm if hydrocarbons are present in the coolant.
