Unhappy Bye bye engine

It was bound to happen sooner or later but it happened tonight. I went down to watch the drags with some friends. As we were all leaving they wanted me to hit it so once on the highway I nailed it past them in their Alero. I shot by them like a screaming rocket but once I shifted into 4th I could feel it was down on power. I didn't know at the time but once they caught up to me and we were cruising along I floored it again but this time it went nowhere. I pulled over and it stalled. I managed to start it again but it sounded and ran HORRIBLE. I barely made it back home. Ah well, I guess it's going to sit there for a very long time now.

Don't give up hope until you do a compression check. You might have just blown off one of your hoses.

Definitely get a compression check. Other things to check are the turbo inlet duct, intercooler hoses, spark plug wires, ignition box, stuff like that...

Also, what mods do you have? FCD, full exhaust, intake and no fuel mods has blown many motors including my first motor.
