Few Questions for the locals (North Co)

I just, I think, blew my motor. It's a pfs street port witha 62-1 on it. It had a safe base tune and I was boosting a mesely 8 psi. The motor lost power during a short pull and i let off immediately. Idle's consistant but rough. Never dies, starts up perfect every time. vacuum bounces from 8-9 lbs. Blowing smoke as well. I don't know exactly what went wrong as it makes no sense, the motor has 7k on it and everything else has 1-2k on it. If someone could come and help me identify exactly whats wrong that would be great.

On a side note, I will be doing an ls1 eventually, is there anyone locally that oculd do it? Thanks

-Mike
