Turbo LS '95 Chevy: Grandpa's Former Daily Driver Turns Into Drag Truck! (Test Hits with a Dragy)

What happens here

With the truck positioned on the return road, the driver prepares for the first test pass. He puts on his helmet and initiates a burnout (spinning the tires to heat them up for traction). However, during the burnout, a mechanical issue occurs, and the throttle cable disconnects from the intake manifold, causing the truck to lose power.

Goal: Perform an initial performance test and diagnose any immediate mechanical failures.
