Poking around & found just one of those T58-3's jet turbine powers a Huey helicopter and develops 1,272 shaft horse power (SHP). Found a brief site on it

184mph that's fast but for a jet turbine not so fast there are rx-7's running close to that with the 13b motor. Plus if you really wanna go fast buy a jet bike from my buddy Christian, they haul a--.
