Actually… now that it occurs to me, there is no possible way that this can make 10,000HP at only 2500 RPM with "just" 147.1 liters.

Look at the constants:

147.1 liters (8976CI)
2,500 Redline

Let's suppose that it actually makes peak output at 2500RPM.
(10,000 * 5252)/2500 = 21,008TQ

Solve for BMEP and you have (150.8*21008)/8976 = 352.94

Seriously, a BMEP of 353psi from an N/A vehicle? Shens!

Even if this engine was capable of F1 levels of efficiency around 220psi, that would amount to only 6250 HP at 2500 RPM. I think they really have no idea what it makes for power and pulled that nice round number from their collective asses...

Sounded like it was only running on 40 cylinders.

Oh neat it's on fire. Anyone have an extinguisher? No? OK that's cool. Just throw some water on the ground underneath the fire.

Im quite surprised they didnt use gasoline!

What they need to do is install 42 o2 sensors and give it a good tune.

Lets see if we can get swifty to stand right at the air intake of that motor, with the air cleaner off, while at wot!

It might not even do anything. And I didn't see any air cleaner on that thing.
