Top Fuel Engines? Controlled Nukes

If anybody thinks it's magic to get 8,000 hp out of a top fuel engine...think again. It takes science, technology and a skilled tuner to make these thing run with exploding. The Chinese would love to have this technology, maybe they would blow themselves up. http://www.motorsportsunplugged.com

To all of you. Do you know how many people there are who are curious about drag racing but will never get the chance to see it or hear how spectacular the horsepower is? Very few when you guys seem to want a technical show. We'll have one of the crew chiefs do one for you. You aren't making the NHRA fan base look good.

Bible on the desk. Very useful for errrr........holding the door open or fixing a wobbley chair.

@leffehoegaarden For you perhaps....but that is where it stays, whether you like it or not.

he kept going on and getting nowhere, not the best choice of compare talked a lot but didn't say much and his Chinese quip wasn't the best choice of joke, pretty lame really - especially for a motor sport channel. his constant hand movements were really annoying too - probably even worse than what he tried to say!

Power density of the fuel.

Wow absolutely no information in this video. Really, the object is to put as much fuel and air in the combustion chamber? No Shit.

How to talk shite for 2 min 15 seconds

Yeah....I'm sorry to say this is a little disappointing. Just ask yourself what was the point of this video monolog? All I got was that a fan of the open wheel stuff thinks Top Fuel is awesome once he spent a little time around them. Notice that took about 5 seconds to read but this video is over 2 minutes long.

Just my 2 cents...

@chumpychumpychump Dear Chumpy....If you want a bunch of technical information, go to the Popular Mechanics site.

I certainly did not expect to see a complete idiot blabbering the whole time-- but that is what I saw. No tech, no informative details... just a bunch of irrelevant comparisons to military junk that obviously gives this dork a boner.

yes, imagine 16 shower heads running wide open, and thats about what it's like for these engines, at idle.they couldn't push enough fuel thru them at WOT, lol, and timing, compression, valve events and ignition all have to be perfect, and they push 8+k HP under 6500 rpm.with 18 to 22 to one blower speeds also.amazing.simply amazing

@MotorsportsUnplugged damn straight
