Think about the EGT and the exhaust pressure, they burn nitromethane. I read that the cylinder pressure at Bottom dead center is still over 2000PSI.
BTW, F1 cars put out more HP per cubic inch with turbos in the mid 80's than a top fuel car puts out today. Think what they could do with modern equipment. </font>[/QUOTE]Weren't they pushing 70+ lbs of boost?
Nope they pushed less boost than top fuel 30-40psi vs 45-50psi, and they ran on alcohol. They ran 7"bar", which is 102.9psi only while qualifying extracting 1500hp from 1.5L insane.
The way they get the HP is turning 12,000RPM.
Don't forget it takes 900hp just to spin the blower on a top fuel car. Thats rediculious.
rigodamndiculous if you ask me. turbo's are and always will be more efficient than crank driven superchargers.
