Sean, he stood it up twice, one time in each of his first two time trials. Then the third time trial he spun. The next pass was the first round, his opponent went red, then he spun, and drove it through wide open until it let go around 900 feet or so. If it fell off during or after one of the times he stood it up, he would have had low or no oil pressure for the third time trial and the first round of eliminations.

that was kinda my point as well Sean. Along with the fact that IF he bounced it off the rev limiter that can't be good for a blower motor. I think the ford motors are pretty bulletproof, they've been making serious power out of the FI mod motors for almost a decade now. I'm pretty sure that even with the killer power they make in Stock/SS trim its not really stressing the motor compared to what some are doing with them. Hence why i said it might be self inflicted
