I almost believe this.

150lb x 4 springs squished down 1/2" (i have no idea how far springs go down)
300lbs of power per "inch". Then multiply x engine RPMs. 2k @ highway. valves open one time per rpm but there are 2 sets of valves. So we're back at 600lbs per "inch" idk how much it takes in pounds to move a car down the road.
1 "inch" happens every rotation of the crank.


...i just made up stuff. lmao
