Default HELP! Boosted civic gone MAD :( after the drag strip

Hey dudes i have a boosted b16 with stock internals running 8lbs of boost. I went to the dragstrip the other day and rev'd it to 8000 on my fast run... i think that damaged the engine (i wanted all the revs i could get lmao). After that run (i had massive wheel hop which vibrated and made everything in the car LOOSE), i noticed my idle was alot more rough, and my deceleration (acceleration still smooth like always) was friggin harsh, and with all the plastics in my car loosened up the rumble makes the whole cacr make noise inside.... Is this possible bent valves or something or is something wrong from all that wheel hop?

Thanks for the help guys

Check all your mounts and tighten them up if there loose.

would all that wheel hop result in mounts coming loose? Anymore culprits you could think of? Since it rattle during deceleration and idle only, i dont think its anything internal i guess but open for advice. Thanks for reply.

i dont see how it could be internal if you only took it to 8000. Stock B16's should hit the limiter around 8200.

if not the mounts and the car still runs funny, check the wires to the ECU or any wires that have been soldered. a very long time ago, i had some joe blow solder all my wires and mine did that, only to find that his soldering skills blew. the jolt from the wheel hop may have broken something loose ...
