Old one, but a good one

Only 108,920 hp at 102 rpm and 5,608,312 lb/ft at 102rpm? That's freaking weak. If it made the same hp/liter as a '02 FD it'd make about 5,400,000 hp. Who designed this thing? GM?

It's not making the same HP per litre because it only runs at 102 RPM! Remember HP = (torque*RPM)/5252. If we could rev it up to 5252 RPMs, assuming that it held the same torque number it'd make... 5,608,312 hp. For the 14 cylinder version at 25,480 liters that would be 220 hp per liter. GM doesn't come close to that.

if you could rev it up to 5252 rpm, it would probably suck up anything and everything not bolted down, within a 20 mile radius

Imagine the noise that puppy would make at that speed.

Baldy

I don't think I'd hear anything, because I'd be deaf.



"if an incredibly large diesel engine, at 5252 rpm, deafens everyone around, does it make a sound?"

kkw4p

Well... hell.. I was ignoring the fact that to get a stroke of 98" to spin to 5252 RPMs the piston would have to be moving somewhere around 10% of the speed of light.



That ain't happenin' any time soon.
