Sweet ass car bro, but shame on you for squeezin in 5th! I'd say you got a hole in a piston, but I dunno. Get a compression test done, and did you notice any smoke from the exhaust when it died??

I tried to warn you about squeezing in 5th in a previous post. Chances are you burnt a hole in your piston from running way lean, Oh well go ahead and rebuild for a 100+ shot now.

Do a compression test first. Will it turn over at all?

Yeah start with a compression test. As it is we run leaner at high speeds, so asking for trouble spraying at high speeds without a lot of fuel.

Start with a compression test.

I think Fast420a and Cyan can vouch for all-motor kills. I belive Cyan went through 3 engines before he even got a turbo...

Could be a broken cam pin like I had.......same thing with me, car just died.
When I checked my cyl for compression NONE of them had any. turned out to be a broken cam retaining rod....lucky for me no bent valves.
I put it all back together and I was back up to 195-200 across the board..
