Good one: Slowhawk and I spent day tuning my truck yest after rebuilding the motor...haven't had it since sept! Picked it up last nite finally (made 440rwhp @ 6lbs boost - thats the same as we had previously @ 13lbs, IAT all under control, meth installed and conservative timing while we break it in - don't wanna take any chances thsi time). Driving home, found my favorite on ramp to burn out and fly...stomped on it layed 100' rubber...dropped the driveshaft! Snapped the u-joint and Speed Eng yoke at the tranny...

 

Man that SUCKS! I am glad its not just me with that kind of luck! Good luck getting it back together!

 

To my wife's credit she was actually sympathetic! Even the kids came with her to get me and offer a pat on the back

 

Oh, man that had to feel like a big kick to the gut. I can see the kids coming to pat poor ol dad on the back, don't worry, you'll get it fixed.

 

sorry man that sucks!!

 

Just can't catch a break, can you?
Well, the silver lining is you solved the power and IAT problem.

Good luck.

Richard..thats what I like...a "Glass half full" kinda guy!

 

I can laugh about it today...but I was damn close to tears on the side of the road last nite!

 

being stranded on the road sux...not flat tire temp stranded, but stranded with something you cant fix right there. congrats on the dyno numbers though

 

On a postiive note, 440rwhp is good for 6psi. 12 or 13 psi looks really promising!

I snapped my driveshaft as well at the yolk and u-joint. Is this what yours looks like??



Make sure you get sealed u-joints!
