so yesterday afternoon, hooked to the sled at the Boone county fairgrounds in Belvidre. tach her up slide her out and off to the races. i figure i was at about 230 ft. and pop, costed to 246ft. lots of smoke, unhook thinking it was just an intercooler boot, and drive ot the track, lots of smoke still and start wondering what else it wrong. push in the clutch and the rpms are still at 2000, oh crap pulled the power wire for the redline box i just barrowed, and its picking up r's, turn the key off, and she is starting to runn away. stood on the brake and dumped the clutch and killed it. now im going wtf. got a tow back the my buddies semi for his tractor, and told a guy we pull with what it did, and he got this smerck on his face and said "turbo".

well i pull my intake off and what a site, no fins left on the compressor wheel, its just sitting there.

pulled the trubo off and dismantaled it, broken shaft, compressor wheel fell out, big hole in the center section.

toast.

that was the best hook it had going all year, that ended way premature and i still got 8th place out of 20. i think i would have had the win if she didnt let go.

so now i need the get a new huffer, clean out the intercooler and piping and pull the head and hope that its not crapped up cuz when i pulled the intake horn otf the was oil and some shaving down in there.

Hey, how did the redline compare to pulling without it? Just running the drag comp...

before redline i could only carry 3100 rpm down the track. with the redline at only 80% fueling and the rev limiter at 3500, i was turning 3650 it said. that thing is wicked
 
i bought it used from my buddy, he bought the truck from some guy in new york that said the was a lot more done to the truck than what there is. so needless to say the charger that was " only a year old" when i talked to enterprise there like no pretty sure it 4 or 5 years old. but anyway there going to build me a custom one, when i get a few more funds.
