Did you miss that part of the response? F1 or any other non drag race is all about transients. In addition, a carb will certainly see limitations at some point in the RPM band - F1 cars spin at die grinder RPM - 20 thou.


Top Fuel is not EFI. They are mechanical injection that borders on crude from a technical perspective. But borders on magic from a tuning viewpoint. They are handling a volume of fuel that is nothing short of incredible. Their power comes from the fuel - so the more they can get into the engine the faster it will go.....
