N/A Top fuel.

Hasn't existed since the '70s.

I got it now.

Marsh's car is an A-Fuel car, not a Top Fuel car.

If it were in the US it would run in the Top Alcahol class/series against T/A dragsters (supercharged), but as it's N/A then it's permitted to run nitro'.

So as i said, N/A Top Fuel has not existed since the '70s.

Engine:

* 432 cubic inch Hemi
* Billet Block and Heads
* Runs on 94% Nitro, 6% Alcohol
* Produces 4400BHP at 6200 RPM
* Produces 4800 Foot lbs./torque at 4900 RPM
* Ignition System has 2 x 44 AMP MSD Mags
* Engine has 32 Injectors = 8 for Alcohol and 24 for Nitro
* Fuel Pressure varies on the day, but on a high is at 490lbs
* Burns 6 litres fuel per second
* This A/Fuel Dragster can accelerate from 0-100mph (160kph) in 1 second
* This A/Fuel Dragster can accelerate 0-185mph (300kph) in 2 seconds
Wow that is fast when you look at it in those terms^

*

These Nitro Engines are started on Alcohol and once they reach a certain temperature it is switched over to Nitro.

If you try to start it on Nitro watch out "DUCK", especially A Fuel Engines as they are 14 to 1 and a Top Fuel is only 6.5 - 7 to 1.

Once the A Fuel Dragster has completed its pass on the track and the motor is shut down, then the procedure starts: -

1. Driveshaft removed before Dragster is towed back (if the driveshaft was not removed and the motor turned over it would blow a cylinder head off)
2. Once back in the pits, all 16 Spark Plugs are removed, and all fuel lines removed off the engine, and blown out with air
3. Engine is spun over to pump out excess Nitro
4. Failure to follow this procedure would have catastrophical results (ie some USA based teams have spun the engines over and blown a cylinder head clean through their transporters)

No neutral on the boxes! also, doesnt seam right as they are running with that same compression so why blow the heads off when NOT running!

ginga4lyfe, May 5, 6:10pm
also. 14:1 ratio isnt high, considering deisels are higher

Burns 6 litres fuel per second wow i feel poor looking at that lol
