I'd be interested to know what sort of wheels + tyres this thing will use for a 500mph attempt. Most "normal" tyres would self destruct before you reach that sort of speed. Having those hoses run over the top of the rear wheels seems like a dreadful idea to me; if you blow a tyre you're going to be spraying coolant / oil / fuel / whatever it is, all over the place.
Well you aren't going to get there with single plugs on cylinders and you DEFINITELY aren't getting there without a third compressor wheel powered by combustion of fuel to drive that impeller IN ADDITION to exhaust, and you'll need a solid billet molybdenum block, single-direction metallurgical crystalline grain main bolts and oil gallies at twice the normal dispersement throughout the engine. You'll need to reinvent the head and block interface to look like the cap over a dental implant: or a square mushroom-head over the I-Pillar that's the block, and positively lock that thing to the block with dowels. The fuel system will need a boost reference capable of over 500 psi added pressure and you'll probably want to run nitro-methane. Edit: and you'll need a flywheel. I would be surprised if your main limitations was not the inability to fit enough bolts in a circle next to each other, however you could try three staggered rings of bolts, but tbh the thing is going to come apart and that's just the reality of it. Js I can't imagine the gearset you want to use with this thing but I'm always amazed by transmissions.
Is the goal just the highest speed? I'm just some dumby but it seems like gear ratio is the most important thing, if you've got hours to get up to max speed you could damn near get there with the right ratio and weedeater motor 😅 Then again, it's probably impossible to find a flat driveable bit of land that's hours long🤔

Solid metal wheels are used.

Well? Numbers?
More than we can afford pal
@ubnubprayr5000 I was wondering what the HP and torque was lol but you're right, more than what we can afford.

air resistance is your biggest factor at those speeds so horse power is definitely important
