Intake and headers are the only mods? It may have been a issue before you did the mods, just so happened that it let go at that time. However it does look like a bunch of crap got in your intake ports. Whatever it was, is prolly stuck in your cats......
Also, that piston looks like its sitting on the cylinder wall..... Can you pull the piston at this point?? Too bad you are 5 hours away, I would give you a hand.

I did it was bad cats so i bought the high flow ones. i have LS1 e-fans, granatelli CAI, flowmaster super 44, 4.10:1 gears w/ detroit tru trac, and a Wheatley 91 octane tune. i did have a small vacuum leak on the EGR valve but it was giving me a 600rpm idle. hardly bad enough to lean out my engine and cause all of this.
