I'm throwing the BULLSHIT flag on 10,000 HP
Shows you don’t know much about top fuel engines. They have run as high as 11,000hp peak and start around 7000.
heres a random almost 10 year old dyno run from Schumacher

I also know there is a thin line where hydrodynamics end and aerodynamics begin. I have crossed the line before.
At first glance, I thought it was jerry nadler…..
You could buy a 1650+ horse power street engine from Sonny's that runs on pump gas and doesn't have an air pump for a modest $96K. Granted it's 940 cubic inches. Sonny's sells a 903 inch pro mod engine that makes 2900+ horse power on race gas with laughing gas, but without an air pump. This could make 10K horse power with a screw pump and running on 97% nitro.
Nikasil is used in 2 stroke motocross cylinders. It works well in that application.
How did the Boatninja not know this?
Top Fuel hydros are limited to 500Ci, but run at least a minimum of just under 70% Nitro I believe is the rule. Bet it’s burning 8-11 gallons of fuel in 1000’. Probably 20-22 with warmup.
Would rather have a Steve Morris SMX...
They dont, from what I understand, "warm up". They run no coolant as the blocks are solid and the oil is pre-warmed and circulated.
Because he is a Fat Fuck!He annoys the living shit out of me for some reason.
Even when he is talking it sounds like he has cold cuts in his mouth.

Correct. He is a fat rhino fuck that single handedly gave the election to O'Shithead with his moonlight stroll down the beach, hand-in-hand, head on his shoulder. I wouldn't vote for that piece of shit if he was running against Hitler.
Rules

Even when he is talking it sounds like he has a dick in his mouth.
Fixed it for ya!
It was also used in two stroke outboard motors for a while. There are still some around & in use.

That motherfucker is more pro-gun control than most of the Democrats. Who the fuck accepted his ticket to run as GOP?
Correct! Remember, he was the US Atty for the Newark NJ Federal district. Of course he's going to be pro Gun Control! Except for LE, of course.
Just fucking google it.
Let Me Google That
For all those people that find it more convenient to bother you with their question than to google it for themselves.
After two loses, the Chiefs are replacing Taylor Swift with Selena Gomaz.
I don’t mean to brag or anything but I’ve fucked a few cows in my time.
I’m not sayin’ cops are the smartest things in the world but that only works 3 or 4 times before they wise up.
Doing SAR cases we called those guys job security
I pay extra for teeth
It's kind of liberating to not be species specific isn't it?I don’t mean to brag or anything but I’ve fucked a few cows in my time.
We were playing with the Navy fleet one day many years ago of the southern Comifornia coast. Had a flight of four F-4Gs. I was coordinating with them on the phone and asked if we could do a flyby after we were done. Was told to just not go supersonic over the deck. Outstanding!!
Get down there a there was a solid marine layer all the way to the water. Fuck.
Sir I trust both your political opinion and your taste in women
Some of you may have seen this, some of it may be rubbish, and I know it’s old. In any case I don’t have the experience to know, but even if part of it’s correct it’s impressive.
Enjoy:
* One Top Fuel dragster 500 cubic-inch Hemi engine makes more horsepower than the first 4 rows at the Daytona 500.
* Under full throttle, a dragster engine consumes 11.2 gallons of nitro methane per second; a fully loaded 747 consumes jet fuel at the same rate with 25% less energy being produced.
* A stock Dodge Hemi V8 engine cannot produce enough power to merely drive the dragster’s supercharger.
* With 3000 CFM of air being rammed in by the supercharger on overdrive, the fuel mixture is compressed into a near-solid form before ignition. Cylinders run on the verge of hydraulic lock at full throttle.
* At the stoichiometric 1.7:1 air/fuel mixture for nitro methane the flame front temperature measures 7050 degrees F.
* Nitro methane burns yellow. The spectacular white flame seen above the stacks at night is raw burning hydrogen, dissociated from atmospheric water vapor by the searing exhaust gases.
* Dual magnetos supply 44 amps to each spark plug. This is the output of an arc welder in each cylinder.
* Spark plug electrodes are totally consumed during a pass. After 1/2 way, the engine is dieseling from compression plus the glow of exhaust valves at 1400 degrees F. The engine can only be shut down by cutting the fuel flow.
* If spark momentarily fails early in the run, unburned nitro builds up in the affected cylinders and then explodes with sufficient force to blow cylinder heads off the block in pieces or split the block in half.
* Dragsters reach over 300 MPH before you have completed reading this sentence.
* In order to exceed 300 MPH in 4.5 seconds, dragsters must accelerate an average of over 4 G’s. In order to reach 200 MPH well before half-track, the launch acceleration approaches 8 G’s.
* Top Fuel engines turn approximately 540 revolutions from light to light!
* Including the burnout, the engine must only survive 900 revolutions under load.
* The redline is actually quite high at 9500 RPM.
* THE BOTTOM LINE: Assuming all the equipment is paid off, the crew worked for free, & for once, NOTHING BLOWS UP, each run costs an estimated $1,000 per second.
The current Top Fuel dragster elapsed time record is 4.441 seconds for the quarter-mile (10/05/03, Tony Schumacher). The top speed record is 333.00 MPH (533 km/h) as measured over the last 66′ of the run (09/28/03, Doug Kalitta).
Putting this all into perspective:
Lets say the you are driving the average $140,000 Lingenfelter twin-turbo powered Corvette Z06.
Over a mile up the road, a Top Fuel dragster is staged & ready to launch down a quarter-mile strip as you pass by it. You have the advantage of a flying start. You run the ‘Vette hard up through the gears and blast across the starting line & pass the dragster at an honest 200 MPH. Just as you pass the Top Fuel Dragster the ‘tree’ goes green for both of you.
The dragster launches & starts after you. You keep your foot down hard, but you hear an incredibly brutal whine that sears your eardrums & within 3 seconds the dragster catches & passes you. He beats you to the finish line, a quarter-mile away from where you just passed him. Think about it – from a standing start, the dragster had spotted you 200 MPH & not only caught, but nearly blasted you off the road when he passed you within a mere 1320 foot long race!
