To put it into perspective, on Russell's convertible when I made that 1053RWHP pull, the 335-30-18's in the back spun loose at around 800RWTQ in 4th gear and left rubber tracks on the dyno roller. They also smoked up a bit too when they spun. :) Try putting that to the road at 130MPH, which you aren't going to do, and you just might lose the car as well as your life.
