No wonder so many ported Eatons are running 10's. They were all measured on a dyno. HAHAHAHAHAH.

I had to laugh watching the video. Check out the car right in front of the Mustang. Can you image if the hold downs broke? Egads! I saw a video a couple of months ago where that actually happened on a dyno. Actually two. One was indoors and the other was outdoors at a track.

One of the shops here in the Valley had a Lightning break free once. I guess it shot it across the shop and out the other side!!

I wish I had the videos of the two I mentioned. They were both pretty scary. Take a 600rwhp anything, wind it to redline and if the hold down(s) break, going through the wall to the parking lot outside would be a definite probability. LOL! Thankfully it is extremely rare that it happens. Usually it is probably operator related.
