Here are some photos I grabbed at Maple Grove Raceway in Reading PA during the NHRA Nationals in October. Since we all drive relatively underpowered cars, you might want to look at what it takes to develop 1200HP per cylinder. In the first photo, notice the fuel rail under the valve cover to deliver additional fuel through two more injectors for each cylinder. Next, notice the ballistic blanket on the supercharger in case of a blower explosion. The 5 clutch discs are hot enough to cook a meal on after just a 4-second run. Last, the pressure plate which engages the clutch through centrifugal force.
