Ok so here's what's going on. I was on the dyno last Friday up at db and was having a large voltage drop so the car couldn't really be tuned up top. Shane thought it would be safe to drive and said to not take it above 7500 rpm. So i got most of the way home and the alternator went out. I put a new alternator in it and then drove it to a friends house, then to work on Saturday, the I drove it some on sarurday evening.
The whole time I was driving it I never brought it high Into the rpms and never went more than maybe half throttle at most. It seemed to run fine the whole time too.
So sunday I went to move the car from my work to my buddies house. Same thing as Saturday seemed to be running fine I was just cruising a long with traffic and it started sputtering then died. I pulled tried restarting it it started with a huge plume of smoke then died and wouldn't restart. So i had it towed to my buddies place.
Today I was checking it out and found the cylinder 3 plug extremely melted. Anybody have any ideas what would cause this without even beating on the car? I'm not sure what the total extent of the damage is yet. Thanks for any input!
