From Car and Driver, May 1991.  Some teasers:

When Ormsby's car is "really hooked up," it leaves the starting lights with 5.5 g's of acceleration--the same face-flattening jolt experienced by a pilot in a Navy A-6E Intruder catapulted off a carrier's deck.  After a particularly good holeshot, Ormsby's dragster will hit 100 mph in one second of mid-warping noise, smoke, and fury.  Put another way, a perfectly launched Top Fueler can accelerate from a standstill to 100 mph in 79 feet--just three times its own length.

. . . .

Forcing a reciprocating engine--even a supercharged (to 34 psi) Godzilla motor--to produce 5,465 horsepower is both difficult and dangerous.  "It's like plunging your toilet with a Claymore mine," says one engine builder.  "It will probably work, but it's hard on the toilet."

. . . .

During its five-second full-power run, the dragster will squirt through its 32 injectors another five to seven gallons--a minimum of a gallon per second.  That is 7.5 times the rate at which fuel flows from the self-service nozzle at our local Mobil station.  In five seconds, that's more than you could spill by overturning seven one-gallon buckets.
