Impressive Numbers

Went to an open house a couple of weeks back at Schumbacher Racing in Brownsburg Indiana. Here are some stats on their top fuel dragster.

7,500 peak horsepower. That's almost 1,000 horsepower per cylinder.

The supercharger produces a maximum boost of 45.5 or more that 3.0 bar, twice the boost achieved by a Mitsubishi Evo VIII.

The fuel system pumps 77 gallons per minute at wide open throttle. The engine will consume 22.75 gallons of rule during warmup, burnout, staging and the quarter-mile run. The fuel costs 900.00 per 55 gallon drum.

Accelerates from 0-100mph in 0.84 sec at 4.75 g.

Top speed of 333.08mph in 1320 feet. When the parachute is deployed at the end of the run the driver experiences peak deceleration of 6 g.
