Good job getting it off track. Sadly I know this story all to well as mine let loose at 6800 rpm on the front straight of TWS. Lot quite a few pistons...
Correct. Spun multiple rod bearings and threw several rods out. F-body pans are known to have pick-up issues. Most guys say you're good to run a quart high, but this doesn't always pan out.

Tires fall off, seriously? Haha, I was losing oil pressure while braking/turning which lead to the demise of the motor.
