Be nice. It seems to be an apolitical post. I can't check it right now though.

Aww, I was hoping to see that engine in action

I remember there was a Darwin Award given to a guy who stole a jet engine and attached it to his car and took it out to the salt flats or somewhere like that to break the land speed record

It was said that after firing up the engine he at some point panicked and attempted to slow down so he hit the brakes which melted, and I think his wheels melted as well. Then his car went airborne for a few miles and slammed into the side of a cliff in a big explosion

Supposedly it was a true story, and that’s dying like a fuckin champ

Top fuel drag racers make 10K-plus H.P. from engines derived from the old mopar hemi....but only for a few seconds at a time. How long can this one sustain at or near its peak output before spontaneously disassembling itself?

Its 3/4 of an inch thick in most places, water jacketed, aluminum rodded. Aluminum rod makes a huge difference. Steel rods break, go through the block, they dont take stress well. Aluminum rods deform, smooch, bend, and dont destroy the engine.

Mostly just the strength of the components. Its LS architecture, meaning its the same overall guts but everything around the original plans have been beefed up. Sleeved billet blocks are the future.

Check out "the executioner" diesel engine by firepunk. They have like 100 passes on it already. Not blown it up once. 3000 horse or better
