3.5 lbs per HP add on a chubby 190lbs rider (me) and it knocks it down significantly. 5.4 lb per HP

I'm surprised at how light the Unlimiteds are... Just think if they hadn't outlawed those 4500hp turbines ....

How about the Callan cat;
12000lbs race weight (w/ driver, throttleman & fuel)/ 2x T55L7C's @ 2800hp = 2.14lb/hp.
The power can be easily turned up to 3400hp each. Now imagine, 12000lbs/6800hp = 1.76lb/hp.
Weight is their friend...

Steve:
There's your problem..........There have been numerous studies that show unlimited hydros are considerably faster when running with fuel.....................than without.
Happy New Year....and it's.... MR. ......Chump to you.
