Two things...

Note how many of these ancient drag race guys are still around...makes me wonder how really toxic the stuff is that EPA is always bed wetting over.

Second...Don Schumacher has a facility (electric driven) in my town where they develop the blowers. When they crank that baby up the lights dim everywhere...

There’s a very old bit about just how powerful Top Fuel cars are, that points out that the blower is so stiff, it requires more horsepower to turn than a NASCAR engine produces, so an electric motor strong enough to turn one would put quite a load on the neighborhood power grid.
