20hp = 20 * 746 watts/HP = 14,920 watts. That's 15 room-sized
electric space heaters set to maximum output, but enclosed in
the space of an engine crankcase. It's a lot of energy doing
nothing but cooking oil and scraping metal.

I dunno what a 4.0 makes, 200hp? 10% of that spent pissing into
the wind.
