One must have quite the cahones for that exercise in insanity. Car was running twin 88mm turbos. The funny thing - that particular run wasn't going to be its fastest. The last run the boost was increased 3psi and rev limiter was increased to... gulp... 8200. That's a LOT rotational mass moving inside a 8.6L motor. On the last run based on the boost curve and where it was headed the car was going to north of 230. Unfortunately the motor started to hiccup and the driver got out of it before anything serious happened. Again - pushing 3000+ through a TH400. Insanity.
For those who are interested; here is the motor shot on the viper:
My buddy Jeremy tuning it on the dyno:
