Cool! I ment to ask what the smoke smelled like.

I know it sucks but thats WAY better then engine failure. Perfect time to upgrade! Get a Centerforce DFX and also swap the flywheel too. Good time for a lightened one. With it smoking that bad I am sure you have some heat spots on the stock one.

so what was the flame that shot out from under the car?

Backfire. Blown engine at 100% load for a few seconds and an overly rich (for safety I assume) tune and sometimes they will backfire like that.

Did it blow out a coupleing?

 

[FastDriver]

Either that or the clutch blew apart.

+1, my initial thought was oil starvation.

 

[BurningRubber]

Yep, that is definatly a hardcore clutch failiure.

I also would not let someone dyno my car at an angle like that. Sitting the idling, ok, but running it hard I am suprised you didn't starve the oil pump.

Very nice Spring Edition by the way...

 

[wernerson]

Im gonna pick up the new clutch today and hopefully get started on the car tomorrow. I'll try to take some pics if i see something interesting

 

[wernerson]

Don't think ive got to look any further for the problem

 

[TheSalad]

Wow..I thought my clutch failure is bad. Way to go!

 

[LaserSVT]

Wow, that is impressive!
