I have built multiple all motor, nitrous and turbo D series engines. I finally got to a point when I thought to myself it is time to build a motor to show the D Series full potential on a budget."

"My favorite moment with the car has to be when it first started. I knew right away this engine build I had been pondering in my brain for 3 years was going to be everything I knew it would be ... and then the Dyno #'s just put the cherry on top." - Wyatt
