@arhemasturias This is true for the Merlin, although the engine displayed will run at 2850 max and only for short durations. As the propeller has a reduced diameter (7 feet), the maximum boost obtainable with the propeller 'feathered' at 2850rpm is approx 5psi. This translates to approx 1000HP.
"A tope" = maximum? The engine is not run above the trailer limits of 1,000HP, which is 60 percent of this engines capability.
