Very wisely I think nobody stands near the car when its under load !

 

 

What is interesting  is how much the nose of the casr rises despite a very strong looking hld down strap under the nose .

Not that long ago, top fuel was making similar power - with nitro - and replacing rods and pistons after every pass. That motor did 8 pulls in a day with no maintenance.

 

I just watched the whole video. You can see the turbo blanket on the driver's side being pulled toward the compressor inlet. Needs to be better secured of course but - it suggests pretty extreme air velocity to the side of the inlet - I would be trying a small bellmouth on the turbo inlet.
