from the sound I'd say it ran away. :o
sound like they let off the throttle and it revved up with lots of pinging then kaboom.
Wow. That video clip was a metaphor for my day. Humming along quite nicely, then some indication of a problem.....then BAMMM.....all hell breaks out.
The Gooey Kablooie!
Awesome. [clap]

Yours too? Christ what a day. Two clients decide to act like children and one sub-contractor continuing to act like a child.
Wow - that was cool!

I wish I could participate in this but PCNA would have a heart attack. At one point in time we may have helped a select customer or two by getting them a new engine instead of having to rebuild a bad one. But you didn't hear it from me. We also haven't done this in years.

CAMARO.. fudj, i knew i got that wrong as soon as I typed it and forgot to look it up.. the Charger had 440 i think
Yep. 440 6 pack would have been the top optional motor
Isn't that normal operation for the GM grenade? lol
For the 6.2L maybe, the 6.5L was pretty decent. Not a power horse but pretty reliable.

Not with a turbo added though. Which is probably what happened to the engine in question.
I'd say it was running a bit rich
