I bet all the bolts just came right off super easy with 3/8 socket and one hand?

It was a re-run of an older show. Stinger commented on it over on TurboFord.

They also only had 5 days from when they pulled the car in the shop (Monday morning) to when it was pulled off the dyno (Friday afternoon). They only had time for one tune revision before the dyno shop closed so they had to keep the boost low. If they had another day in the production deadline they would have put race fuel in it and double the boost and made north of 400hp (triple the stock power).

Bottom line is their goals were higher but the productions schedule was too short (or they bit off more than they could chew in 5 days).
