Just to put it perspective, a top fuel dragsters 14-71 roots blower takes 900-1000HP to turn. But they make in the neighborhood of
8000HP. But as we all know they are a lot of other factors that help make that number "nitro".

The blowers themselves do not move enough air to make 8000bhp. The Nitromethane has ALOT of O2 in the molecule. This reduces the demand for air.
