And you wonder how a pipe can "get wet"...

Amazing amount of fluid used for an even more amazing series of events that take place in five seconds or less.

The pumps now days are about double that volume.

Eugene, what is the current air/fuel ratio? I've heard it's 1:1 but others have cried shenanigans...

... I've heard it's 1:1...

I believe 1.7:1 is ideal... The blowers & mags got bigger with the pumps...

That's only one nozzle at idle & run pressures, remember in real life at full throttle there's four nozzles per cylinder..

That setup is at the NHRA Museum in Pomona.

Never gets old watching that run either.
