What I've learned over the years about things like this is, even with local shops, the failures are almost never reported about and the successes are played up all over the internet.

Shop - "Hey, I have an 800 rwhp Coyote that runs low 9's"

Everyone everywhere - "awesome! build me one"

Reality - "It took us destroying 3 motors (which we get at cost, but you won't) to do it, but we're not telling you about that part.

At this level, money goes away in quantum leaps, but is usually helped out through some form of sponsorship.

Terry does seem to have some pretty good luck with his though, and has usually been forthcoming about the issues too.

I'm going to agree with you here. The competition between those guys is really tense and they aren't going to put anything out there that could be used to rape them online from all the bandwagoners.

Terry has to be using some kind of cage on that crank pulley kind of like the big TS Cobras do to keep from that crank walking around destroying the block. So it's not just the block holding it all together.
