Nope...

Budget 355, Speed Pro forged pistons, Eagle H beam rods, and a PAW forged crank, edelbrock performer RPM heads, I can't remember what carb or intake and a 300 shot of nitrous I believe and a custom cut solid roller nitrous cam. That pull was a NOS pull and it broke the straps holding it in The guys at the dyno said it was the slicks, they gripped the rollers too much and tried to launch the car off the dyno I'll post some times in the next few weeks when it hits the track, but last year with a 2 stage 100 out of the hole and a 200 when it hit 2nd gear it ran a 11.8 at 114 I think and that was with the edelbrock heads and 8:1 compression and 87 octane gas (he just pulled off the 6-71 blower and bolted on the intake and took it to the track.

Doubt it was from the slicks...pretty sure the spray is what did it.

Why would you want to dyno your car while spraying a 250 shot I dont know,why risk doing something that damn near happened right there. Take it to the track and spray it...just my opinion.

Actually I was wrong and it was a 300 shot and they were trying to tune the car to the NOS rather than take it to the track and risk blowing it up.
