When you are blowing 5000+ hp through the cylinders, you are making SO much pressure...that is why you see a TF dragster blow spark plugs like roman candles on one run.

Think of blowing through a straw compared to a hose. A kid will hardly be able to keep a steady flow of air through the straw...much less a hose. A guy my age can blow through a straw much harder and longer...because I have more power to blow and more to blow.....the more air you have in your lungs, the bigger the straw you can blow hard through...just like a car. The more power you produce, the bigger exhaust you can run.

That is kinda jacked, but I think you will get my jist.
