I was out racing and winning. It was an Eagle Talon that was turbo charged and he was running about 24lbs of boost. But anyway back to my problem. We was getting ready to race from a stop I had the rpm's at 1500 and as soon as i let the clutch out and floored it, the car raised and died. It will turn over but not start. It has been running lean at higher rpm's. What are the damages of running lean? Did i really mess something up? I haven't check to see if its getting fuel or spark but when i turn the key you can hear the fuel pump.

There is not much we can help with till you provide more info. I would check spark and injector pulsing and FP, as you indicated. Codes can be good too.
If this just happened, it will be interesting to see if it starts tomorrow (or later).
Running lean and racing is not good. But it should not have caused the car to not start.
Good luck.

Do you have injector pulsing? You can use a noid light to test for this (parts stores sell them on about any day but today 
for a few bucks). If you dont have spark or injector pulsing, the PIP was the likely candidate right from the start (it is responsible for base spark and injector timing).
Good luck.

I replaced the Distributor when my PIP went out. But my car wasn't flat out dead. It would just stall once in a while...
