And that's why you don't stand in the dyno room.

Anyhow, not sure the people who built that should be putting their names on the video. I doubt it'll drive much business.

It made a little over 2,100 horse before splitting the block. I think they'll be OK.

You are a serious shop if you have an engine dyno. That was likely $30K+ grenade.

Doubt it'll hurt their business at all. This kind of stuff happens.

There's a lot of backstory to this, I think they'll be fine.

According to the shop, this wasn't even a full tilt pull, this same motor has gone down the track in a heavy vehicle at higher power levels than this pull was making. Also, 2100 hp, factory cast block, stuffs gonna fail :)

LOLOL, my thoughts exactly. There were quite a few product names and shop, etc. in the opening credits. I would NOT have wanted my name in there, hahahahahahaa.

Saw a nice billet block at PRI today that should work for them.

Curious the amount of boost they were producing. Had to be well over 30-40.

It's a 6.7L Cummins diesel and it let go at 146psi according to the Youtube description. It has more boost than most cars have compression...lol! :cool:
