I suspected the SC pretty quickly... Sucks and that is the gamble you take when adding such mods to engines that were not normally built with them.Sucks; open wallet, check pockets $$$ ...

My guess would be that 5th injector cr***ed out somehow and caused a lean meltdown

That seems to be the general concensus. At any rate, hate to see this happen.
