Look at your own BS, “@ 9000 rpm peak it doesn’t do 1000revs work” RPM is literally revolutions per minute! If it runs one minute at that speed it’s made 9k revolutions!

@@megastick9324 If you think that the load on the internal components, and wear, is the same at idle as it it when the engine is wide open producing 11000 bhp, I'm a little surprised. Not many top fuel engines grenade themselves at idle. That's the point, in terms of the lifespan of the parts, it would sit there idling almost indefinitely, but once the throttle is wide open it's life span to needing a rebuild only needs to be another 900 revolutions. If you don't find that remarkable, fair enough, but I understand what I'm talking about just fine. And it absolutely never runs at 9000rpm for a whole minute. Idle is about 2400-2500, it's only at high revs for the length of the burnout and the run, less than 10 seconds for sure.
