Getting a 37x60 to put out 5400 watts for 20 seconds......... That's what will be hard to do!

But it won't take anywhere near that much power. Presently a stock AQ has it at 22.5 seconds. The AQ is rated at like 720 watts, so I think that 3000 watts "should" be able to reach sub 20 seconds, and that IS doable for a 20 second duration....I think.
I went and looked up the data from the IMPBA and NAMBA 2-lap record runs in P-hydro. With a TP3650 motor the average current over a competitive 17 second run is 283A. That's a little over 3.3kW. Data from the old P-ltd AQ motor showed an average around 112A, so 1300W.
