You, my friend, are a crazy man. Keep that up.
Was this a turbine engine? Turbine engines operate at wildly high RPMs. RPM is a major component in the calculation of horsepower. If an engine made a maximum of 200 lb-ft of torque, but was able to make it at 20,000 rpm, horsepower would be a very impressive number. Even though it would be making about the same power as my 3-liter.
Further, aviation engines are generally set up to operate at one specific rpm, or at least in a narrow range. That would make them potentially troublesome in a passenger automobile.
Just a few thoughts.
