Might as well just use a motorcycle throttle at that point!

If I remember correctly, the P-pump fuel rack will go to max if the throttle linkage will fail

As Seth mentioned, none of the cylinders went cold and the pump internals were in great shape so this is most likely a self-inflicted stuck throttle incident and just so happened to occur when the air shutoff failed. The take-away lesson is make dang sure everything is ready before making a run down the track when you're playing with a 16mm pump and (3) GT55 chargers!!!

Will, when we spoke you said the boost really came on after you realized something was wrong with the truck. What do you think caused the spike?
