JohnnyLightning · 03-05-2009, 11:26 PM

Hey guys a little update, We ran the truck today here in fla. Just trying to get things dialed in,We were shifting @ 5800-6000 rpm's,making 12-13# boost launching @ 3000 rpm's around 4#'s of boost!..This truck easly lifted the front tires 2' in the air carries them for a few feet.it looked like a rocket!.about the 1/8 mile mark thats when the drive shaft broke in two!...

...she coasted from the 1/8 to a 11.0 @ 75 mph!..Man i mean NASTY isn't the word for this machine!..This thing ripped the drive shaft in two,and proceded to destroy the T400 Trans! just ripped the complete back half of the trans apart!...Man that was down right Depressing for us!..But we have a new trans comming in the morning,We tore the truck down this evening and hope to get it back up and running tommorow!..I really hope all goes well so ronnie and craig can go on and WIN this Fla. Race!..

Damn.. gotta love gremlins in a new vehicle..

I've seen that happen before with a TH400.. My buddy had a driveshaft failure, and it completely cracked the back half of the tail section off. He almost put his car into the wall..

Good luck getting her back up and running..

Sounds badass JL. Congrats on the truck, but sucks to hear about the trans. Hope to hear some good results. And have someone shoot some vid of that thing at the track for us
