    Default Magnacharged Z06 smoking on the dyno

    Not sure what happened, but it didn't look good.

    Looks almost like it was dumping in gas to try to correct for running lean? Then it finally gave out? I'm not sure...just random puffs of black smoke out the back makes me wonder if it was trying to compensate for running lean

    Head gasket issue? Coolant got into the combustion chamber?

    It just looked like one of those "see how much power you have" portable dynos...thought maybe the ecu itself was doing it, but again I'm not sure how that works.

    The audio of it at the end (while smoking like a bitch) sounds awful.

    I've seen that happen before when hitting the rev limiter when running rich.

    But the white smoke looked like coolant making an exit.
