Hello
I am the guy that blew up the trans on a dyno. No nitrous I just made a full throttle pull then shut off the engine to talk to the dyno operator and the rear wheel locked up .
After taking the engine apart I found the fifth gear sprocket welded to the shaft. I have made hundreds of pulls since that unfortunate incident and not had a problem.
As for doing it on the road . I believe the aero drag will slow you down and you may not have any problem . Personally I would not do it. First there is the danger of damage to the unlubricated parts of the trans . Second If you just went up a hill.Then shut off the engine .the cooling will stop .The oil in the top of the engine will start to boil and there could be a chance of cooking the oil . Maybe not, but for my money Idling down the hill may be safer..
