Doesn't matter what the shot is, you should have tuned it. Also, you're not suppossed to start with the shot you want to use, you're suppossed to step yourself up, in otherwords, start off with a 25, then a 50, then a 75, etc. It allows your ecu and engine to adapt to the boost. Also, did you redo your stock spark plugs, or even tamper with the fuel pressure regulator?

Did you flash tune your car at any time? If you did the timing was advanced too much and that'll sure do it. Also did you install cooler plugs first? Hot plugs will detonate and cause engine damage. Did you put in a new fuel filter?
