Well, after a long day at New Era Racecraft working with Steve Morris and Kyle Kirker along with my right hand guys Cory Peters and my son Jimmy (Ron had to work), it is alive. It is a long story so I'll keep it short and sweet...
5 short Dyno pulls to break it in with the low boost gears-
was getting late so we decided to do one good pull with the wussy gear set to get a base to tune from (pretty fuel fat), then change gears, stay over night and let bitch have it in the morning.
This is the good part.....
the pull was going great, but at 7300rpm the coupler and stub shaft EXPLODED and went through the roof of the Dyno room!!!!
Holy shit, I thought the back of the block blew off with all the noise and flying debris but THANK GOD as it came apart the first thing to get hit was the coil (mounted on the back of the block for the pulls) and instantly took spark away before it revved to oblivion. The engine is undamaged, but I can't say the same for the headers!!
