From start to finish, those engines are essentially revving very near or at the peak HP RPM, and the clutch is setup to slip as required to obtain max acceleration without excessively spinning the tires. In other words, putting as much HP (and of course T because HP and T are connected at the hip by RPM) as possible to the rear tires from start to finish of the run. The rear tires are typically the weak link as any top fuel dragster has plenty of HP to smoke the tires if all the power is put to them.Top Fuel cars do not shift....as in zero gears.
