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.
Would rather have a Steve Morris SMX...
Probably 20-22 with warmup.
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.
