Ewww, that don't sound good. Do you have a scanmaster or scantool?
This car has been running great, nothing new has been added in the last year. Don't have any trouble codes or data specs to offer.
Drove it approx. 200 miles today, as I neared home I started off from a red light, got up to 15 MPH in low gear, floored it, just as the tires began spinning it hit about 4,000 rpm and boom, I backed off, shifted to drive, drove a ways down the road, slowed to try again, and again, same thing, boom, I backed off and drove home.
SeeyaV6 - are you saying check the ground for the computer?

Check the Cam sensor cap for cracks and also the two screws to see if they are tight

Backfire as it hits high boost is often a symptom of a failing/weak coil pack..... or a 'lean pop', which is worse... 
I would 1st verify fuel pressure is rising 1:1 with boost, and if so, probably start at the coil pack....
