Was on my way with my buddy who owns(or should i say owned) a fully built Turbo'ed Monte Carlo to town from where we live. He got on the throttle a little to pass a guy that was goin very slow. All of sudden a loud pop sound came from under the hood. Then the smoke starts rollin in the cabin and i look over at my buddy and say is this normal. It got so filled with smoke i said dude stop the car. So i jumped out really quick and looked under the car and it was glowing orange. I said man ur car is ****in on fire. So he quickly pops the hood and the whole engine bay was engulfed in flames. After getting off the phone with 911, we could see that the whole upper intake manifold (L36) was gone. Prior to this happening, we had just got back from ZZP. We had a fully built trans, L67 bottom end, dyno, ST2 cam, heads and a bunch of other goodies put on after he got back from deployment. Z7 turbo kit, A2A IC, t62-1 turbo was all done before his deployment.
