ha ha thats pretty cool!

wonder what size injectors they use? mate of mine with an rx7 is fitting 2000cc injectors and running them at 2600cc!

Frickin' hell that's a lot of fuel. I bet it easily pumped around a gallon in that 25 seconds.

Well in an actual drag race they get through around 6 gallons in 4 seconds over the 1/4 mile.

I believe the flames you see coming out of the exhausts arn't burning fuel but actually the nitrogen in the air being ignited by the immense heat from the exhaust gases. Mental things.

f**k me, was not expecting that !

 

[Christopher]

That's mental!

That seems a lot. Shame they didnt show you the ammount used there.

Youve gotta remember they use Nitromethan requires a stoich of 1.7:1 where as petrol runs 14.7:1 (all ideal world figures). Even so, rediculous ammounts of fuel!
