No more than punching the throttle going down the street. No airflow across the intercooler and such will result in a little less power though.

I don't see any risk... just watch your gauges and make sure that you do not go over your trucks limits.

Now, if you do this....



...you're on your own...

Lots of fun. I still can't believe that we did that, but if there was anyone spraying and holding, those two were the best qualified...
