Top Fuelers have the engine behind the driver putting more weight over the rear tires. The fuel pump is capable of delivering 77 gallons per minute through a 25 diameter fuel line.
A Top Fuel engine generates a BMEP of 1450 psi making the combustion chamber one of the most inhospitable environments in the solar system.
Top fuel dragster engine specs. NHRA Top Fuel Engine Specifications Top Fuel Engines. Top Fuel dragster engines must follow strict guidelines set by the NHRA governing body when competing. The typical Top Fuel engine displaces 496 cubic inches.
They have hemispherical combustion. Based on readings from a torque sensor developed by AVL Racing the US Army Top Fuel dragster recorded a peak 11051 horsepower during a recent test in California. That surpasses even the most optimistic of estimates that the drag racing industry has tossed around for the past quarter century.
The BME Top Fuel Dragster backing up to the starting line after a burnout at Houston in 2016. The starter car has a redline just short of 5000 rpm and the top sports cars can go up to 7000 rpm but the heavily tuned Top Fuel dragster engine doesnt reach that threshold up to 9500 rpm. That is most likely one of the reasons that the powertrain on these cars need serious maintenance after each run.
7 More Fuel Consumption Than A Boeing. Under full throttle a modern top fuel dragster engine burns approx11 gallons of fuel a minute. The fuel pump is capable of delivering 77 gallons per minute through a 25 diameter fuel line.
The fuel tank holds 17 gallons of fuel. A 55-gallon drum of nitromethane today costs about 900. Engine weight Block with liners 187 lb 848 kg Heads 40 lb 181 kg each Crankshaft 815 lb 370 kg Complete engine 496 lb 225 kg.
A Top Fuel engine generates a BMEP of 1450 psi making the combustion chamber one of the most inhospitable environments in the solar system. Both sport the same engines but Top Fuel cars tend to cross the finish line about a quarter-second sooner due to their sleeker design 255-lb weight advantage 2300 vs 2555 lb for Top Fuel and Funny Car respectively with driver and the engines location. Top Fuelers have the engine behind the driver putting more weight over the rear tires.

One dragsters 500-inch Hemi makes more horsepower then the first 8 rows at Daytona.
Under full throttle a dragster engine consumes 1 12 gallons of nitro per second the same rate of fuel consumption as a fully loaded 747 but with 4 times the energy volume. The supercharger takes more power to drive than a stock hemi makes. Theres not a dynamometer in the world that can handle the high-horsepower output of a nitro-burning Top Fuel or Funny Car engine.
Kickoff with first 2021 issue of National Dragster. One Top Fuel dragster 500 cubic-inch Hemi engine makes more horsepower than the first 4 rows at the Daytona 500. Under full throttle a dragster engine consumes 112 gallons of nitro methane per second.
A fully loaded 747 consumes jet fuel at the same rate with 25 less energy being produced. A Top Fuel engine will consume more than 14 gallons of fuel over the entire time from. Top Fuelers use supercharged engines that burn a mixture of 90 percent nitromethane and 10 percent methanol.
Top Alcohol Dragsters may be powered by one of two different powerplants either a supercharged methanol-burning engine or an injected nitromethane combination. They are capable of covering the dragstrip in less than 37 seconds at more than 330 mph. Powered by a supercharged and fuel-injected 500-cubic-inch adaptation of the famed Chrysler Hemi engine.
The engine runs on 90 percent nitromethane which packs about seven times the potential energy of regular fuel. Every team is trying to dump the maximum fuel it can into its motor says Davin but theres a very fine line between burning and hydrolocking. Top Fuel engines are hemispherical head Hemi 500 cubic inch displacement CID 82 liter engines.
Although they produce less power Top Alcohol engines are slightly larger than Top Fuel. Top Alcohol engines are 531CID 87 liter. The reason that Top Fuel cars can not have larger engines is the explosive quality of their nitromethane fuel.
