    Now what?!

    Ok first time to the track ever. 01 ss m6 spec3+, ms3 cam, headers, slp exhaust and a lid on nitto drags....10 bolt lol but anyway first pass 12.64 then a 12.38 (was getting better) then went out again think i missed a gear and over revved and bent a valve white smoke blew out the back and when i stoped it was comin out through the intake? pulled the valve covers and no broken springs so guess its time for that head swap?!

    I would bet you bent a pushrod....pull those pushrods and look at them. Are you still on stock pushrods?

    What valve springs do you run ? Bet you floated out, bent 1 or 2 intake valves, & bent at least 1 pushrod...

    The 918's should take it... My rev limit is 7400, and I've bounced many times on the bottle... Put air into each cylinder, one at a time, then you will find which one went.
