Just got back from the track on the back of wrecker. Made four runs with this car for the second time since I owned it. Best time was 13.42 in the 1/4 at 108mph. Car has red stripe injectors,ta-49, smc alky, front mount intercooler,ls1 maf with translator, hemco plenum and with with 26x8.5 slick on the rear. First two runs ran mid 13's Before third run I adjusted boost and adde some race fuel. The run I got the car to launch harder but motor shut off just after 60' mark. Four run did the same exact thing. The motor shuts off but all electrical functions fine. After pull off the track into turn around lane car fires write up and runs fine. Anybody have any ideas? Also on the way home from the track the turbo sound a little strange as it spooled up. Not much longer down the road the car poured out smoke,so I shut her down and wreckered it back to the house. turbo was just rebuilt 40 to 50 miles ago.
 
did you pull the dip stick???

turbo sounds toasted, sorry.

do a compression test while you pull all the plugs for inspection.

I live in englewood give a call maybe I can take a look.
