Right, MAXIMUM POWAH!
Design an engine designed for maximum power. Only one rule: It MUST be able to make at least one run up the drag strip, so no 0 MTBFs please.
So what have you got? I'll start with mine; 3056hp / 2611nm torque / 12km MTBF.
Remember, 0 MTBF doesn't count. It's no good if it doesn't get past the pit entrance!

a fail on stand doesnt count. I've managed just under 3200hp with a fail on stand but that's pointless :p

I know I would love to Quad turbo that beast of an engine...and then really crank the boost up to 6 Bar and let it ROAR! could you imagine how much power that would be if I had 6 Bar boost, 4 Turbo Chargers and DevMeth....I guess somewhere approaching 6000bhp to 9000bhp+

mmm torque.
I just did some sums and this engine is right on that 250kw/L limit well, im at 249.7kw/lL so maybe there's a few more horses to gain yet

I managed a 2999 bhp engine which ran, but when I changed something, it died.
I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to get back to 2999
