This was not intended to be an attack or Scott or Dustin’s car, but the simply and plain stated fact that it takes 900 hp to run 6. 99 in a dragster. That said, its would be the choose of how you constructed that dragster that is the reality of how you make the math work. I told every one long in advance that I would run in the 8’s and I accomplished that , on a very sloppy pass, the next day I ran faster , when I turned the bottle on , the 8. 72 was a all motor and windshield washer fluid pass. The truck with the NX system on ran considerable faster. I am now predicting that I will get my truck in the 7’s. Its just math and that is all drag racing is applied physics. I didn’t at the time have any giant hp advantage, but the knowledge of how to best use what power I made.
Now the math.
900 hp or there about will propel a diesel dragster in the 6. 99 range. How, don’t start with a heavy 300 inch top fuel car, a good 260 inch A/D or A/ED chassis will get the job done just fine. And the hp that these see on the line is way more then any drag racing diesel will apply to the axels and that includes torque also this whole car will weight with out a driver 1550 lbs , now chouse you driver , and 900 hp gets you there.
Big Torque is meaningless if you don’t, make it at point high enough to make big hp. Torque is destructive if you try and applied it at the wrong time.
