Top fuel TQ and HP can only be estimated, no engine or chasis dyno has ever recorded accual #'s that i know or heard of.
Estimates i've seen were between 6000-8000lbs of TQ And same with HP
If they run in the RPM band of 8000-8500 then TQ would be lower i would think.
According to the math these engines eather make more HP than stated, or they make less TQ than stated, or the RPM peak is off quite a bit, honestly i think it's the RPM peak that's off.
Nitromethan is a hard fuel to light and it's a long burning fuel(like diesel), so IMO it would have to have a lower Peak RPM to work properly.
I think that 7000-7500 rpm @ peak HP is about as close to accurate as you can get.
