You could hear the (dyno) driver in the background after the BOOM say, "Uh, I thought the redline was 10K." LOL! Seriously, I'd love to have seen the owner's reaction, too. I probably would have passed out. :-0

The owner of the car was in the passenger seat. He was cool with it. He knew it was going to blow up, but the guy before him layed down like 1450 and he got third or something like that so since he was the last guy to go he went for at least a top 3 finish. Its coming back this year to compete again and from what I hear it should break the record set by last years winner.

Geez, I would hate to have my car blow up. Especially in front of all the people cheering when it happened.

I'm very sure the owner knew that was coming If I remember correclty its 408ci with F2
Procharger with 25psi.

that amount of boost is very hard to run without LSX or 6bolt heads.

If he is getting LSX Block then he should get 6bolt heads with it otherwise whats the point.

Oh sick numbers.
