1997 K1500, motor died

[Justin#BLFD]

Went drag racing this morning and everything was fine. Stopped in at work and on my way home the motor died. It didn't sould like a mechanical failure, just stopped running. I was able to get it to refire on the side of the highway but when I touched the gas, engine dies again. I don't know if it was in my head but the ignition timing seemed very off when I restarted it. Also it sounded like a LOUD lifter knock when I tried to refire it. I ended up getting a tow to the dealership. Might be time to give up on OBS

Am I screwed?
Anyone have a clue whats wrong with it?

All help appreciated!

PS, the time slips from today will be posted tomorrow for who ever asked me earlier, I left them in the center console of my truck. But at this point, I really don't give a ****

Was your dizzy cap on tight? Also, didnt you say you changed your MAF, aftermarket ones tend to cause headaches alot of times. Hope its nothing too serious.
