What surprises me is the short amount of time it rev'd and low rev range. It sounded like a warm-up run. Did it even hit 5K rpm?

uhh, I think it went a little higher than 5k.

Unlike engine dynos, on a chassis dyno, the more power the engine makes, the quicker the dyno pull will be over.

I love watching big power chassis dyno pulls...like this one:

Yeah, that was my question.

I'd love to see the dyno sheet. Is it posted somewhere?

You must mean Pump Gas Drags. That was Plimptons '88 car...it made 1723hp at the rear wheels w/ a blown 572ci BBF, a 'glide, Dana 3.54 rear and ran into the 8.31's. That's after making the required 30 mile drive through traffic. Now THAT is one bad bird!!
