Could be one or two several reasons. Mine, was.most likely fuel related, since that day in the video, I had an E85 tune but I had 93 octane in the car, causing a rich condition.
In any case, you may have ring issues, not sealing properly, maybe valve issues, if turbocharged, possibly turbo seal issues or turbo drain back flow issues. Those are typical issues as possibilities.

Verdad Gallardo I'm pig rich at the moment..(all you smell is raw fuel when it happens) everything else checks out I was just surprised to see the same deal on your new build so I figured I would ask. 
Car is a beast, been a long road for you glad to see it's back together and running well.
BTW did you still have pictures from the aftermath years ago? Curious to see what kind of damage happened from the clutch/pp letting go.

Yeah you should have the tune checked out...especially if you have cats(guessing you don't cause of smell) cause the fuel will ruin them. Thanks for the props, and yes, I have many pics of the carnage from my other old vette. would have to post later, as I dont have access to the album while at work.

Cool.
On another note, my clutch is shuttering, with about 50 to 70% throttle input in 2nd or 3rd gears. Which is over triple digit speeds....so I would only assume it does at any gear. So, yeah, thats super gay. I do have another exoskel that I might swap in if I can this week.
But, lord oh lord when I can get it to no shutter or slip fot.a second, 80% max throttle the car pulls so hard, the rear view mirror folds back. Craziest **** ever. I move it with my hand back in place and it requires decent amount of force, so, the mirror isn't bad. The car is making POWA

Bummer. No way you can get the clutch swapped out this week, huh?
It seemed to be running even better on the last round of tunes, its a shame to put it off, but its gotta be right.

I dunno....for lack of words right now,..it just ******* sucks.
I have two exoskels...one, is in the car....the other, "had a bad disc" according to my buddy that gave it to me....so, I think either way, I am dead in the water. I can't afford a new clutch right now.
Just can't.
So, I dunno.
I feel like I just fell down the stairs.
