Need to double your horsepower without all the pesky wrenching

In the 1950s, at the drag strips, it was called 'tipping the can'.

Cool video!!! Love stuff like this lol

I knew nitro methane was the only fuel that burned significant hotter and made more power. I had no idea it doubled power.
On the video they ran out of fuel injector, I'm guessing it was an e85 engine with way oversized injectors for what would be normal on a 5.3L gasoline motor.
So with the right injectors it will likely make more than double normal power.

You reminded me of this video. :)

So if we had double the atmospheric pressure, engines would make twice the power?

Not quite. There are losses in the engine that do not remain static, and assumptions regarding efficiency that don't occur

Approximately twice the horsepower with the right fuel, yes.

Double the atmospheric pressure and you double the back-pressure. Doubts.

Turbochargers just about double engine horsepower by adding one atmosphere of intake pressure with about 1 atmosphere of added exhaust pressure.
