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.

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?

+1, my initial thought was oil starvation.

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...
