and 10,000hp out of 4 v8 blocks is is an ungodly amount of hp per cylinder.
how do you get 6000 hp?
- a standard engine is about 498 cubic inches, or just over 8 liters.
- they're free to run, with super high capacity intakes, and no exhaust manifolds, just outlet pipes.
-they run on nitromethane.
-they burn almost 20 gallons of fuel on a full run (startup, burnout, idling, 1/4mile)
and those tractors make about 255 horsepower per liter. look up some info on them. their engines are similar to drag racing ones.
