Got me beat how the clutch, engine mounts, gearbox, tail shaft, universal joints and diff centres stand up to that lot, eh. :-)
For one you let out the clutch before pounding the floorboard with your right foot. If you heard that one guy mention he had a real low idle. Part of the reason for that is if he is putting out 2900 Hp at full RPM then he would be putting out around 400 to 500 at idle with 1600 ftlb. torque by the time the engine reaches 1200 it would be putting out around 3500ftlb.torque and max torque would come in around 1400 RPM. I've seen guys with 18 axle rigs weighing 160K lbs twist the yolks off drive shafts dumping their clutch at 1200 RPM with only 550 HP. Or pull the nose cone completely off the front diff. with less than 350HP Hot dogers break trucksQuote:

A lot of experience and a little bit of luck.Quote:

Or if you strap one of them down facing the wrong direction it might stop the planet from rotatingQuote:
