FIREPUNK’S WILD DYNO SESSION

Anything can happen when you strap a 3,000hp Pro Mod to the chassis dyno. What started with a few sub-2,000hp pulls—to diagnose a crank signal problem the team was having at 6,000 rpm—ended with something the guys at Firepunk simply couldn’t resist doing: making a full pass at max power. On the hit, the skinnies on the front of the Hot Shot’s Secret-sponsored S10 crept up the wheel chocks and then nearly launched over them when the second stage of nitrous started to come in. Abruptly aborting the dyno run, pilot Larson Miller and the rest of the guys found frayed ratchet straps and decided to reserve the 3,000hp tune-up for track-only use.
