I came across a really awesome video! Too bad this terminator really got hurt in the making of this flick. Props to the maker of the video. I hope whoever owns that silver terminator get it built stronger then ever. This should answer most of the questions why high speed pulls are bad. I do not know if this guy had the cooling mod done. Sorry if repost! Check out the carnage! Ahhh!
i don't think that's a good example of why high speed pulls are bad, i think this dude had some "other" issues. God only knows how that car was tuned, especially for the giggle juice.
I seriously doubt an exhaust system would have much of an effect on a car of this caliber, aside from making it sound like one of the machines from War of the Worlds every time you go WOT.

Good Point! But he shifted into 6th on the spray, thats asking for trouble man.
Everytime I hear of this happening I get depressed....
Everytime I hear about it I second guess getting another. I never hammered my cars but I know when they do break its not cheap to fix.

Did anyone notice even though he blew the motor, it was still firing on all 8 cylinders! Usually, there is castrophic failure! It proves how strong its made from the factory, IMO.

To me it looks like too much pressure in the crankcase.

lol yeah when you blow your rings under boost all that pressure has to go somewhere right? looked like he popped his dipstick or breathers. Boost goes right down into the crankcase and back up the only openings available.
