I think you left out the spray details. How big a shot? That can explain a lot. Lean condition? Not enough fuel to cover shot? The mechanical over rev? You may be looking at a cascade from an earlier race track event. Get more power the NA way this time around. Good luck on your search.

mine was pretty obviously jacked just by looking at it. the little sensor wires were tweaked but still connected, screen removed and alot of half finished dremel attacks.
another point to mention is that the pvc had dumped alot of oil down the the intake tract making a mess of the maf. alot of that im sure due to increased blow bye fom the #7, but that can screw with the mafs reading making it pull or add timing which can definatly cause detonation. im not 100 percent it was the maf but seeing the damage done to it and the fact that it was the only other carry over part with the new ls6 it def has me leaning towards it.
new maf
catch can
and an egt gauge directly hooked up the #7 port on the header
will give me some peice of mind with my 3rd motor
