Just watching WD on drag racing.

0 > 100 mph = 1 sec with top speed of over 300 mph in under 4 secs.

Engine rebuild every run...

Nearly up to yellow peril performance.

Pinch of salt maybe.
Have you noticed that anyone going slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster is a maniac ?

The calculated power output of these engines is most likely somewhere between 8,500 and 10,000 hp (6,340 and 7,460 kW) which is about twice as powerful as the engines installed on some modern diesel locomotives, with a torque output of approximately 7,400 pound force-feet (10,000 N⋅m) and a brake mean effective pressure of 1,160–1,450 psi (8.0–10.0 MPa).
