    Worked with a guy who built a few engines for those trucks. Really popular out in Quebec. Pushing 2,000 HP some of them.

    I just can't imagine doing that to a truck. It’s cool to watch, but no way I could do that to one of ours.

    I love seeing the raw power, but im also horrified at the sheer cost of it

    Apparently they run a 3" input shaft on the transmissions and the rest of the powertrain is stock. I'd imagine they're probably using 46k rears though.

    Just imagine stressing the frame that much.

    U-joint’s are cheap! Guess if you want a built in weak link to keep from breaking the expensive stuff they would be my choice.
    The thing that boggles the mind is how this proves that truck parts can take a lot of abuse by design because the parts are really built overkill by most standards but STILL an average everyday driver can flatten an anvil with a rubber hammer and destroy a truck in no time flat in everyday use. Lol!

    What's up with the tree?? It drops way too fast for a sportsman tree.

    Also, I wanna know who tuned the W900 in the third pass.
