using PKRWUDs figure of 800hp per cylinder (6400 total), those NHRA funny cars have a specific output of 781.1 hp/L.

Using BMW's figure of 875hp from their 2998cc V10, they make 292hp/L

at first glance, these figures make it seem like the NHRA engine is a hell of a lot more efficient than the F1 engine. then you remember the funny car is supercharged, and the F1 car is N/A, so i decided to use numbers from mid 1980's F1 cars (back when they used turbo's)

using Honda's figure of 1400hp from 1500cc V6, it makes an incredible 933hp/L. in qualifying trim, of course.

since the Honda was 1988 vintage, it would only be fair to use power figures from a funny car of that same year. but i don't feel like looking, so there you have it.
