Check your coolant. Does it have any oil in it? Check your oil. Make sure it is not a milkshake combination. This would mean a blown headgasket, at the minimum.

it looks like the 2 spark plugs on the pass. side in the back of the engine are messed up. one looks like it hit the piston and the other one is bent down but it dosen't look like it hit the piston. what does that mean?

Since your sig says you still need to install the 42lbs and MAF, you may have saved yourself.

Since your car knew what MAF and injectors it had, it did make the correct decisions as far as mixture and such. Now, you're going to max out your stock injectors and MAF pretty soon with that setup, which is probably what happened during your pull. However, assuming all your other electrical components are stock, at least your engine knew what it was doing up until that point.

Good luck!

Do not drive your car. Unfortunately, you damaged something, whether it be a bent valve or something much worse. Your best bet would be to take the heads off and proceed from there.

get out the wallet and stop taking a wet noodle to a gun fight. hitting it with no tune might have cost you big time. time for the big guns to step in and assess the problem. At least get them to quote what needs to be fixed.

it's possible. are you running extended reach plugs?

if it did hit the plug you're just lucky it didn't shoot the plug out....
