Default Back luck all around

Was trying to get my car tune and ran into all kinds of issue. First was one of my injectors were stuck open. So had to get new injectors. Then 3 bar map sensor started to act up had to switch it out with another one. Still had issues due to a bad jumper harness. Well got everything replace and made 320whp at 12psi. I was expecting more but kept getting into issue of the charge pipe kept popping off. So we took it for a test drive. Pull good on the last pull then pop. There goes the motor, friend called me earlier. The motor had dropped a valve cylinder #3.

what did you rev it to drop a valve? What happened (retainer cracked, or did the valve get hit)?

yeah, might just go with a whole new route on this one. not sure what rev it was at. my friend was driving the car when it happen. we think it might just be a fatigue valvetrain.
