This may be a stupid question, but are any (or extra) safety precautions being taken (driveshaft loops, tranny blanket, keeping people back, etc.)? I know when truck pulling and a motor pops, things tend to go flying, and that is with a lot LESS power/stress. If this thing hits 2000 or is capable of hitting 2000 before it MIGHT blow, I would expect the pieces would be traveling quite far/fast and be HOT. It's not everyday these drivelines are subjected to a 1500+HP, so it would not be out of the realm of possibility to expect some carnage.
I hope Dimitri does it (hits 2000+RWHP and it lives) and shuts a lot of people up (from ALL camps), but I would hate to see it be a lesson learned the hard way if someone gets hurt.
Good Luck and be safe.
