That was a super awesome vid, It still amazes how much fury and noise and ridiculous power that can be made out of a relatively small engine, just 400cu in. That video really captures the earthquake noise that is unleashed when they take off but still nothing compared to the insanity of being withing 100ft of a real one taking off.
However I still find it disappointing that nobody has built a engine dynamo meter strong enough to actually measure the output one of those engines, that needs to be higher on mankind's priority list. Sure they have calculated the power but I wanna see a factual number and the torque curve of one.
