So what we have learned here is that we are technically safe up to say, 8259 RPM?

Or two levers side by side and close enough you grab them both easily at the same time.
This is a great idea and we will definitely incorporate something similar on the build-up this time around. Now to figure out how to make a simple push button or push-lever that is leveraged to reliably pull the fuel dump and the air shutoff at the same time. It sounds like one of those "in your mind 4 hour fab projects" that ends up taking a full week to dial-in perfect... But I'll gladly trade a week of messing around with the safety activation system if it saves the engine... or driver's life!!!
This is what I came up with...On the left is fuel dump right is air kill, if I swing my arm down they fall right on the knobs. I had to use these when the little bracket that holds the throttle return spring broke on me. Its not a good feeling when you lift on the throttle at the end of the quarter and you gain more speed. cant imagine what went through your mind... my air kill shut it off immediately, next problem is no brakes and power steering is gone and your near the end of the shut down.. hard left hand turn of soft slicks, hope I never experience this again...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fS_Vm8MNaMSaw a post from Seth that the rack didn't stick . Linkage issue ? Can't wait to see this at ucc again
Nothing for nothing but that rack was moving but it was not at temperature nor under a load? Put that senerio in the mix and see if the rack gets sticky....
Can we see what data log was reading before things wound up? I wonder if the injection pump housing was fracturing before the boom......
