About the Car

The Story:

Once upon a time...no wait wrong story. The Build that never ends this started as a 500whp 35R car then proceeded through a couple engine builds before it ended up here at EnglishRacing to get the newest engine build done. The 35R was maxed shortly thereafter and a 37R was added. About this time alternative fuels became readily available and the car made 650whp as a daily on E85 and 712whp on E85/meth combo. The next winter this came off for a 42R that made 1014whp at 55psi through a Magnus street manifold...yes you read right the street version. This winter it got a larger turbo, a larger intake, more compression and more cam as well as massive weight reduction.

Future Plans:

Go fast and set some records.
