Running super lean with Vortech? Now hesitation
It seems most have around 10 with the vortech kit. That is what I had earlier today and now all of a sudden it is at 7-8 at idle and then shows up to 7 psi at under 3k lol. Ahh my car is killing me here.
Well I don't know if I blew my engine or what.
Got home today and car was smoking like crazy from the header with oil sprayed everywhere. Oil pressure gauge never showed it get too low. I checked the lever and dipstick came out dry. No cels, no noises I noticed or anything. I might have just caught something in time or I blew the engine and caused oil to spray everywhere but would think there would be a cel or noises or something. ****!!!!

Damn man, that doesn't sound good. Possibly fuel washed the motor, blowing oil by the piston rings. That's what happened to my motor when I had some moron tuner try and tune an FIC. It never ran right but good enough that I continued to drive it which was my 2nd mistake. Fueling wasn't right and too much fuel went past my rings into my oil and killed the lubrication of the motor, scuffed the rings/pistons and created oil blow by. One sure way to find out is if you rev the motor and see oil vapor/smoke come out your front valve cover breather, if you do, its toast. I hope its just a loose oil filter or fitting and your motor is ok. Good luck
How long did it smoke prior to you shutting it down?
What was the oil spray from? I've seen the oil line to the supercharger break at the block (Mine). I was lucky I saw an oil leak before going back onto the track. The adapter was still there is was cracked.
Have you drained the oil (what ever is left)? Drain it into something clean so you can inspect visually and with a magnet pen.

Where would the oil be spraying from if that is what the issue is?
The whole header side of the engine is soaked in oil.
