BoostedGS

Well, I fixed and broke my GS in the same day. I spend all day Saturday and Sunday installing my new fuel injectors. I won't even go into what a pain in the ass that was!!!
But finally at 6pm Sunday afternoon the car was back together and we fired it up. We adjusted idle fuel pressure, then drove around and adjusted the fuel curve with the AFC for cruising speeds.
Then we went on I-25 to adjust the fuel for WOT. I flipped the switch for high boost (12psi) and off we went. First and second pull felt pretty good, but I was way rich. Third pull, I looked up and I couldn't see any cars behind me, just a thick cloud of smoke.
Pulled off at the next exit and popped the hood. Oil everywhere! Jacked up the car and discovered that it's coming from the plate that covers the tranny where the clutch is! So we're assuming that the rear main seal blew.
I'm gonna order a new seal today, and a few more quarts of BG Synchroshift (damn, I just put that stuff in there!). I'm going on vacation Wednesday, so I won't tear into it until I get back. I'm also gonna compression test it to see if my rings are bad and that caused too much crankcase pressure (thanks Dave!)
Anything else I should check???
