    Making my best runs last weekend and next thing i know I'm going full lean in boost and no power! I have a 2 bar tune and MAF enabled so I was able to get home staying out of boost
    Turns out the Meth controller was sucking voltage from the MAP.

    I let my friend (his first drag race) take my truck on the last run and he ran .2-.3 less than I was running so I think it might have gone out at the end or immediately after that WOT run.
    The truck seems to run/sound fine-no smoke.

    Lucky, huh?

    If there was damage wouldn't I see or feel something?I drove it 2hrs. home from the track and to my mechanic's and back all seems good while in vac.
    I checked the oil level is good and the oil is clean. and there's no ping or smoke.

    Lucky Dog! If it were me it would be in pieces on the garage floor this morning due to broken parts.

    Gabe brought up a good point. You should probably check your plugs.
