I've always wondered the same thing. I've tried watching this at the past couple of Nat's I've been to, they pull the rotors and check them out, look inside the case, but after that, I don't know. I'm guessing if they don't backfire the motor through the blower, that they would probably be good to go.
@TheMoezilla it just hit me like wow they rip the motor apart but what happens to the blower. lol thanks for the response though and not being a tool about it :) glad to see somebody on here has a brain lol
These are just general numbers, averages I guess you'd say. 8,000-9,000 HP, unsure because no dyno in the world can handle it. A stock dodge hemi engine cannot turn the blower. Air/fuel is compressed into a near-solid state. Spark plugs do not make it past half a run, the engine compression-ignites the rest of the way. The engine has to withstand only 900 revolutions under load. It can be totally rebuilt and ready for another run in half a hour. Crazy.
@UncleBubbles94 yeah and the amazing part is theyve had pretty much the same design for decades. only subtle changes have been made since. imagine how much it could do if a big name company made one new from the ground up
@AdangerousRETARD not much. I will give you an example. Burt Munro had a sidevalve Indian v-twin engine (sidevalve being hopelessly inefficient). It was so finely tuned that when he converted to ohv he didnt achieve the same power for years(if not over 10 years), and it took a much larger displacement for that also. Even if the basic principles of these engines are simple and very old tech, the truth is they are so finely tuned that it would take years for anything else to even catch up.
@redneckrider250 First you need a Strong American V8. Second, You need Nitro Methane, because Nitro Methane is the secret to the top fueler's power. Nitro Methane literally is like injecting C-4 in to the pistons, it explodes.
10,000hp is abit over the top in my opinion , 8000rpm is correct to what most guys aim for but I have seen up to 10,000rpm across the line which the engine isnt very happy but they do go there
they rev a maximum of 10,000rpm , make 8000hp , supercharger at full noise takes 800hp to drive , key to getting the cars down the track is the clutch , these cars have no gearbox , 500ci max displacement. 50 psi boost

My car broke down the other week- but the garage guy used the fact that I have appeared in adult films as a stick to beat me.
He told me “Perhaps you think this like your scene on YouPorn, where you’re begging for your car to be fixed for free & it all ends up with the manager tieing you naked to his office chair! Piss off, & take your disgusting gay-for-pay sexual fantasies with you!”
I am not ashamed of my past & am complaining to his Head Office about him.
For those of you who are new to NHRA Drag Racing, it used to be a fun motorsport, especially during the mid 80s to early 90s; watching this video makes me feel sad because it reminds me how they had the Pit Crew Challenge where teams would compete each other to see how fast a team could disassemble/reassemble a nitro motor IN TEN MINUTES OR LESS; there were constant attempts between teams to break each other's records in the quarter-mile speed barrier...
Man, it's still a fun motorsport. I agree that the 1000 ft took a pretty big bite outta the fun factor, but, the total live experience of being at a National event more than makes up for it. Taking a newbie back to the pits for a warm-up and watching their reactions, or watching a few launches from the start line, and then catching a few at the big end?
@ACHEESEDANISH00 I've been going to Bandimere and Brainerd for the past 5 years and I was right on top of the nitro cars when they were warming up, too close in fact. I guess I can't speak for other tracks on the circuit, as far as how close they allow you to get.
@ACHEESEDANISH00 Okay, I got ya. With my work schedule and distance from the different tracks, Brainerd and Bandimere are the only ones I can make it to. There are a couple of set in portions in the east side fence at Bandimere where you are pretty damn close to the track. I've seen a lot of tracks on TV with WAY too much room between the fans and the action. Kinda sad, but, over-kill on safety precautions are to be expected this day and age.
@ACHEESEDANISH00 Type in "8ft away from NHRA Top Fuel in Florida", Pretty crazy video, but, I don't think they let you get away with that at many tracks.
thats about how close you could be about 9 years ago at sears point aka infineon. They also used to have a tunnel that went right under the track and when the cars went by it felt like an earthquake.
@ACHEESEDANISH00 May I borrow your time machine? Seriously though, I've loved drag racing for a long time and finally got to a point in my career where I can afford to start attending these races in person. I regret not being able to attend 1/4 mile nitro drags anymore, hopefully again someday, still, the experience for me is awesome every time race day rolls around and I got tickets. The home theater gets quite the workout on Sundays when I can't attend, and that's a lot of Sundays!
@TheMoezilla Last time i went i met Bob Glidden, of course people like John force and Warren Johnson but also the one and only Bill "Grumpy" Jenkins. I actually gave him a cigar too... he just looked at me and said Thank ya. My personal favorite is pro stock... theres just something about making 1500 horses naturally aspirated with over an inch of valve lift spinning over 9500 rpm. Amazing stuff. Somewhere on here you can see a video of a top fuel fuel pump. it looks like a fire hose going off
Some ppl like drag, some circuit, some rally, give them all a break. Drag is nice if u wanna see some races fast, other categories are fun if u have time-to-kill :)
I think I like all, as long as there is cars driving :)
I dont like any bike-sports tough, it has to be 4 wheels hehe :)
@faq147 After each burnout, when a funnycar or top fuel car is backed up to the starting line (they share similiar engine/transmission power) to prepare for a launch, the crew chief hook up the second magneto for full ignition; during a burnout, only one magneto (an engine component that looks like a distributor) is connected for the engine to recieve just enough ignition...
I think the crew chief also turns on a second fuel source, if I'm not mistaken...Or maybe the driver does that.
@nitr0junki3 Hey, do you know if NHRA ever going to bring back the full 1/4 mile for the Top Fuel/Funny Car class; then, I would come back and continue watching and tuning in for the next nationals event? Thanks.
Designed for racing, lmao look at that! They have insert for cylinder bores! All they have to do is take out the old and put in the new......man I would love a job like this, the rush, the excitement, wow.
holy shit. i was looking up about them i found some cool stuff i didnt know about them but i still dont know how they start them up is it like a button or turn key?
@65438922 they need to run 2 spark plugs as one is a backup because they pump that much fuel in there a single miss fire cause the engine to hydralic which bends rods breaks cranks and blows heads off.. cheers
I know you sleeve aluminum blocks or you will chew up the cylinder walls. I dont know if these guys r aluminum. They may sleeve them to handle the high cylinder pressures. As for rpm I think they run between 8 and 9 thousand rpm. These r very dangerous motor...lol
Oh yeah..these things have just gotten rediculous with the power. These things now have over and inch lift camshaft....25 years ago that was un heard of. They are defiantly amazing.
I hear that. They deffinetly breath fire with that rediculas cam profile. It's like the valves never close. Over 300 degrees of duration. Most engines would not even start they would have no compression. lol.I want one just to say I have one.
prolly around 20,000+rpms. these cars scream. and i never new they swapped cylinders too. The whole damn thing gets rebuilt lol I dont think these engines ever last more than a few races. Thats nuts.
i really doubt 20k+rpms. the displacement is too large and the torque on these things is just way to high. i just really want to know the max rpms on this thing. i'll try google
i have woundered to i would think cause of the power and speeds they pull i personaly would think about 10,000-15,000 but thats my personial opinion. but of course i could be on the high side.
Do you know what a true sport is that actually takes talent? Seriously. A driver has to have someone telling him how to drive around in circles. NASCAR is quite possibly the dumbest, most boring sport on the face of the earth. 3 1/2 hours of left hand turns compared to 4 1/2 seconds of raw power. One of these cars has the horsepower equivalent of 8 of your STUPID LITTLE PUSSY CARS. Come to the good side if your a real man.
you are so fuckin right, i hate nascar. and well, F1 takes skill too, but drag racing does also. bottom line is, not all motor sports take a lotta skill but high performance circuit (F1, Moto GP, Le Mans), straight line top fuel drag racing, and motocross (trust me it takes skill) are like the toughest. but NASCAR is so gay
@NitroAddict4428 yeah drag racing is awesome with that much horsepower but run 3 1/2 hours of left turns at almost 200 mph and tell me your not tired just sayin nascars isnt tht pussy although it is boring as hell to watch im more of a dirt track man myself
@NitroAddict4428 ya, and to the other guy nascar are olny making about 800hp, 1000. so it would be more like 10 nascars to run that. not to mention when a super small CI SB revs 8K= it sounds like a import, pssshhh, i like alky and nitro in anything, sounds like bussiness.lol
@NitroAddict4428 How does it take talent to drive in a straight line? Nascar is a pretty enduring race, that has much more action than drag racing. Sorry to say it, but it is probably 4+ times more popular than drag racing too.
@suzukiracer15 drag racing is pure power! the only reason nascar is more popular is because even though you don't like racing, if your a redneck your born with nascar blood. so you are forced to like it! even john andretti tried it at one time, he liked it but was too much for him. strap little dale in a rollbar with a motor burning fuel that some people even say it's a controlled explosion! i bet he would run with his little butt back to his roundee round car!
@NitroAddict4428 Nascar may look boring on the outside but there is so much more to nascar than driving around a circle track they are going 200mph 20 inches from each other and they do that for 5 hours straight
omfg do you know how much balls it takes to go 200+ mph in a car that has no traction or stability control? thus going only centimeters in distance from others. who gives a fuck if there are only left turns? NASCAR is about racing with raw cars in high speeds and being mindful of your engines and cars conditions in order to even finish the race. I wanna see how youd do the sports 'that takes no talent'..
@NitroAddict4428 I used to be into drag raceing. Enjoyed it for many years, then finally became bored with it and started circle track. I didnt think either one was stupid. And of course top fuel has much more horse power than nascar cars do, and its obvious why. You almost seem angry and unable to comprehend why some people like nascar. A few million people love nascar. Think they are all stupid?
@NitroAddict4428 you are quite ignorant, as a circle track, road course, and former outlaw drag racer i can tell you that they all take skill and nascar is no joke. it takes immense skill to drive your car at 170mph and stay on your groove when there are cars two feet to your right and left. besides dragsters are like rockets, immensly powerful but one time use, whereas other racing cars, nascar included can be driven for hundreds of miles. dont be so quick to run your mouth off.
@MaBcMCLAN Lol.. Agreed, though I must admit that I don't particularly enjoy or follow the sport, NASCAR's gotta be an insane stress-endurance test for the drivers & their vehicles alike. I prefer F1 myself and from what it goes to show, this guy's opinion would rule this & ALL FIA championships out as well LOL! Almost can't believe this dude just blew off an entire racing league based on engine power alone!
Damn, I wish I could afford to rebuild my motor after every drive! I also wish I could do it in under 40 minutes, those guys are good... even with a couple buddies I couldn't do it...
one time i asked a guy and he said that kind (not one like that)of beast has like 800 hp without the special fuel and with the fuel its 2800 hp its 2000 hp just with the mix
not just the fuel but how much? sure you col look up the figure, but you have to look up the injector flow test the do. full throttle run up puts crazy amounts of fuel, looks like a water fall! plus did you see the size of that supercharger? took 2 big guys to remove it. awsome shit!!!
They burn a gallon a second at full throttle. A gallon every 4 seconds when idle. A gallon of nitro is 15 bucks and a 40+ gallon barrel is 800 some dollars.
may seem like a dumb question to most of u, but do the reuse the same blower each round?

Ever heard of JohnForce racing? All their funny car's run the Ford Boss 500 top fuel engine. Yes it is pure Ford power not, Mopar.

pure ford? Nothing in any of force's motors are from ford. Everything is aftermarket stuff based on the 426 hemi mopar.
Force runs TFX parts, Tasca here runs mostly BAE.

stupid gay cars do you know what a corner is?
scorpionruf 2 years ago
Do you know what a true sport is that actually takes talent? Seriously. A driver has to have someone telling him how to drive around in circles. NASCAR is quite possibly the dumbest, most boring sport on the face of the earth. 3 1/2 hours of left hand turns compared to 4 1/2 seconds of raw power. One of these cars has the horsepower equivalent of 8 of your STUPID LITTLE PUSSY CARS. Come to the good side if your a real man.

you are so fuckin right, i hate nascar. and well, F1 takes skill too, but drag racing does also. bottom line is, not all motor sports take a lotta skill but high performance circuit (F1, Moto GP, Le Mans), straight line top fuel drag racing, and motocross (trust me it takes skill) are like the toughest. but NASCAR is so gay

@NitroAddict4428 How does it take talent to drive in a straight line? Nascar is a pretty enduring race, that has much more action than drag racing. Sorry to say it, but it is probably 4+ times more popular than drag racing too.
suzukiracer15 1 year ago
@suzukiracer15 drag racing is pure power! the only reason nascar is more popular is because even though you don't like racing, if your a redneck your born with nascar blood. so you are forced to like it! even john andretti tried it at one time, he liked it but was too much for him. strap little dale in a rollbar with a motor burning fuel that some people even say it's a controlled explosion! i bet he would run with his little butt back to his roundee round car!

@NitroAddict4428 Nascar may look boring on the outside but there is so much more to nascar than driving around a circle track they are going 200mph 20 inches from each other and they do that for 5 hours straight

@NitroAddict4428
omfg do you know how much balls it takes to go 200+ mph in a car that has no traction or stability control? thus going only centimeters in distance from others. who gives a fuck if there are only left turns? NASCAR is about racing with raw cars in high speeds and being mindful of your engines and cars conditions in order to even finish the race. I wanna see how youd do the sports 'that takes no talent'..
ht666th 1 year ago
@NitroAddict4428 I used to be into drag raceing. Enjoyed it for many years, then finally became bored with it and started circle track. I didnt think either one was stupid. And of course top fuel has much more horse power than nascar cars do, and its obvious why. You almost seem angry and unable to comprehend why some people like nascar. A few million people love nascar. Think they are all stupid?
kirbylee57 1 year ago
@NitroAddict4428 you are quite ignorant, as a circle track, road course, and former outlaw drag racer i can tell you that they all take skill and nascar is no joke. it takes immense skill to drive your car at 170mph and stay on your groove when there are cars two feet to your right and left. besides dragsters are like rockets, immensly powerful but one time use, whereas other racing cars, nascar included can be driven for hundreds of miles. dont be so quick to run your mouth off.

@MaBcMCLAN Lol.. Agreed, though I must admit that I don't particularly enjoy or follow the sport, NASCAR's gotta be an insane stress-endurance test for the drivers & their vehicles alike. I prefer F1 myself and from what it goes to show, this guy's opinion would rule this & ALL FIA championships out as well LOL! Almost can't believe this dude just blew off an entire racing league based on engine power alone!

not just the fuel but how much? sure you col look up the figure, but you have to look up the injector flow test the do. full throttle run up puts crazy amounts of fuel, looks like a water fall! plus did you see the size of that supercharger? took 2 big guys to remove it. awsome shit!!!
jfl187 2 years ago
They burn a gallon a second at full throttle. A gallon every 4 seconds when idle. A gallon of nitro is 15 bucks and a 40+ gallon barrel is 800 some dollars.

22 gallons in one run, including burnout if im right,,,,completely worth it, fuck the trees
