It wouldn't have mattered. You would think it would, but it wouldn't.

I also would have pooped myself.

That was a tough 24 hour period for trucks. No body got time for slinging fluids on hot headers!

Glad she/you/everyone there is alright.

Sucks this happened to your new ride, but it doesn't sound too costly.

That was wild for sure. Luckily it wasn't during the regular dyno day with a shop full of people. I hope to see that truck back on the rollers soon, was making a bunch of power before the breakage.

Its going back on very soon, probably with more boost and meth injection, i feel it will be an easy 600/700 truck and mid 10s

Those huge fireballs can be really disorienting, mine have been nitrous induced when the car got a bad case of the hook or was a lil down on power....it is actually amazing how far you can pitch a carb that was originally bolted to the intake

So was the convertor folks held responsible? Did they fix it right?
