Benn - I think the difference between your 4400 hp and my 6884 is the 4400 is
delivered to the ground hp and mine is engine hp of which 36% went into
heating up the clutch - At 1 mph 20 hp of a top fuel engine is used to
accelerate the car and the rest is left in the bell housing - The lost energy
could push a couple of prostocks to 200 mph - John
