Default What Happened?

I got off work tonight and got on the express way, I got into a little race with a lexus sc400, new model, and I was pulling away pritty hard until I heard what sounded like washers spraying through my engine. I have a 5.3 silverado with other guy headers, no cats, and a procharger. Needless to say my engine stopped running and would no longer turn over. I checked the oil and it looked fine and I still had antifreeze. No visible damage to engine. I think I destroyed a piston, but wouldn't the engine still turn over? I am looking for a new engine right now, any ideas? Is the engine rebuildable do you think. I know its hard to tell without opening it up. Just seeing if anyone else had a similar experiance.

Very hard to say what it is. No oil leaking or coolant on the ground? What rpm did you spin it up to?

What is it? It's called major carnage and I bet it is not going to be pretty! If it wont turn over then obviously you have mechanical breakage. Keep us posted and good luck.
