We had a "dyno day" scheduled for our local Mopar club, but only two people signed-up, so it was cancelled.
If we'd seen this video, nobody would have signed-up.

The issue isn't the Dyno. The car is listed at 800+hp. Shit Happens. I had the SRT on a dyno several times without any issues other than the car being so loud it was messing with the computer. I've been to the dyno more times than I can remember and I've seen hundreds of cars on them and none have blown up. The chances of your stockish car blowing up on the dyno are somewhere between slim and none.

It isn't any harder than what you do running the piss out of it on the street. Yes, they can put a good load on it, but then so does wind resistance. Basically the same wall you hit in the top gears when it doesn't go any faster. It is either at the limits of the power output, IM or exhaust restrictions, or the rev limiter.

That turbo motor loaded and spooled so much at 3/4 track it went airborne

That's pretty cool.

I like this better. Yes, it's only 1/8 mile so it would not have made it down the full 1/4 but the front end was in the air the entire time. I think it actually tripped the timers with the back tires.

Doesn't keep me from being paranoid about it though.

^ I hope Mox is right, because I want to have the 99 R/T "dynoed" to see what I gained from all the money I spent (before I bought the SRT-4).

Does every V8 tuner keep a fat guy around to sit in the trunk? Seriously...

If so, I'm available...
