Default ..and you thought your rear end was a "drag"...

"The supercharger on a top fueler takes more power to drive then a stock hemi makes. It will achieve over 300 mph before you finish reading this."

I can't figure out why SOMEBODY hasn't posted SOMEWHERE the approximate "numbers" for typical "parts". Like a 9" Ford rear end at "X" rpm will require "X" horse power. The "X" should in fact be a "known" number (within a small percentage + or -). Same for trannys! Whats up with that?

You can BET those top fuelers know exactly how much H.P. it takes to turn any given part on their "rail".
