Ouch!!!

It just blew apart at 7800rpm. It was just like BANG
Then parts flew everywhere and antifreeze was spraying out my hood scoop, and there was smoke everywhere. I felt very bad at that moment.

Holy sh*t!! That's crazy. Glad you're okay. Cars can be fixed though. Just be glad it was the car that suffered and not you.

7800 rpm? With a stock bellhousing? Sheesh....I'd be counting all my toes if I were you. Serioiusly, glad yer ok, and really sucks about your car. Word to the wise fellers: If ya gonna run big horses with a manual tranny, spend the bucks for a steel bell. I'm running one on the liner, painted black fer the stealth look...
