Top Fuel is at the ragged edge of everything.Nitromethane is essentially liquid dynamite.Fuel management is critical.And as stated earlier,forced induction changes the ballgame completely.On my SCCA car,i run FI and a turbo.I wouldn't even THINK of running a Turbo w/o FI.
As for F-1 cars,peak power isn't as critical as in "straight liners".This is the readers digest version as i am not a F-1 guy.
