In that top dragster... It makes about 2800hp. The heat is the only real draw back. It gets very very hot. Goes through clutches somewhat often, but not tooo often. About every 2 races.
It isn't as violent down low but I don't even think that's a draw back.
The other thing is the way Matt reinvented the trans brake it can be activated in any gear so gotta be a little careful.
Think ultimately kinda just depends on setup. It works for in that top dragster with a Ford motor though.
