While I can't list specific examples, I dont think this is the first time a 13b has seen numbers along those lines... probably one of the few instances it has happened in an 8 though.

could you imagine a 4 rotor running 30 psi? the drivetrain would certainly be a drawback but talk about a rocket

Not long... lol, I'm sure that falls under the squeezing the engine for HP category. But in drag racing its never which engine last longer but which one takes you faster down the 1320 ft even if that means a new engine every other pass..
