1300 hp mercury comet brake failure crash

So your saying that testing in the scenario I have laid out that torque will increase as the rpms are lowered with the throttle fixed.
I don't know if I can measure torque at that low of rpm. but I can sweep the motor down with my load controller on the engine dyno. I am going to try it on the next motor I have on the dyno to see if I can do it. I'll report back.
Does the torque spec from the mustang dyno at 50 mph sound about right to you? At what rpm would you estimate the vehicle was turning before impact?

Yes.
That is a bugaboo(technical term, lol) with most dynos, 2-2.5K is usually the bottom of the pull.
I'll go back & look at that post, nothing jumped out at Me when I 1st looked it over.
Since He toasted the brakes trying to contain it, I'll have to assume it was stuck at the stated 2200K, but have no idea if it was actually in gear when impact occured. To be honest, I don't know what trans is in the car other than an automatic, I stopped watching in disgust at the "17 years ago you couldn't get better brakes" idiocy.
To be clear, the amount of impact was based soley on the vehicle's velocity, how far it travelled after impact would have been altered by the factors of engine rpm, torque,& trans engagement.
