The WTQ measured by the Dyno was 744 Ft Lbs. That's right, don't try it, this is what could happen.

Maybe the person misleading you should foot the bill.

Let me make sure i am understanding this correctly. You get a built tranny and TC from Shep, strap your car on the dyno, launch it, destroy the tranny and TC and Shep is fixing it for free?

WOW, I am amazed that Shep would cover this under warranty. There is considerably more traction on a dyno then a prepped track. YOU HAVE ROLLERS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE TIRES, PLUS IT IS STRAPPED DOWN PUTTING EVEN MORE WEIGHT ON THE ROLLERS. THE DRIVER OF THIS VEHICLE IS 100% AT FAULT FOR THIS DAMAGE. THATS GOOD THAT YOU ARE LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE IT COVERED.

PS The caps were a mistake, to lazy to change.

Dude, you braver than i am. That must have been one hell of a launch!!!! Anyway the car seems to be making some ridiculous hp to match with that torque, so congrats to you.

Same thought ran through my head. THEN I just thought wow. You are pretty crazy! Haha. Good thing Shep got you covered.
