Were you boosting on an empty tank? Do you have a boost gauge? If so, who much vacuum is it pulling?

This is the second thread like this in 24 hours. I'm not sure why people would floor their car when they were on empty

As GoodfellaFD3S asked, what is your vacuum reading at idle?

8 to 4 inches of mercury? That is NOT a good sign.

Start with a compression test. If that checks out ok, then start checking your manifold gaskets.

If you boosted the car on an empty tank of gas and this was the result, that doesn't bode well for your engine.
