Well I was at the race track today trying to break into the 12's on pump gas before the end of the season. Well It didn't happen. I got there and took one run with a buddy in the car and missed third bad and ran a 14.1. Brutal I know but I had lost my damn tune cause I Lost power in my car and my settings reset . So I did a base tune from my first log. And went down the track again. This time I was about to shift to fourth I accidentally dropped it to second. RPM"S went over the bottom of the tachometer Im guessing 10k + and I heard this clacking noise. When I got back i noticed I had an oil leak now and my car would shake violently from about 2000-3000rpms and after that it would smooth off. Power seems pretty normal boost works. So what you guys think? I have my own suspicions on what it is but I don't want to influence your opinions.
Let me know asap ;) By the way it shakes in every gear.

It's possible. With that wicked downshift you probably jumped the timing belt a tooth or two. Do a compression test and then don't start the car at all until you tear into it so you don't wreck anymore than you already have.
