Now, if you've been following the street racing circuit, you know that Daddy Dave is no stranger to success. With a winning combination under his belt last season, the decision to make the switch raises eyebrows and stirs speculation.
Let's break it down. Daddy Dave clinched victory with a ProCharger Extreme Racing Engines combo, proving his prowess behind the wheel time and again.

It's a move that has the racing community buzzing, with opinions split down the middle. On one hand, there's the undeniable track record of the twin turbo setup, boasting both quarter-mile and eighth-mile records in the pro mod category. However, as many are quick to point out, what works on a pro mod track doesn't always translate seamlessly to the unforgiving world of NPK.

As expected, Daddy Dave's transition hasn't been without its hurdles. Two races in, and he's still ironing out the kinks, grappling with the nuances of a completely different setup. Yet, there's a glimmer of promise in the way his car "six-foots" with the twin turbos, showcasing a potential for speed that's hard to ignore.
The question on everyone's mind is whether a twin turbo car can truly hold its own in the cutthroat arena of NPK. Skeptics abound, citing concerns over consistency and adaptability. But as history has shown time and again, underestimating Daddy Dave is a risky gamble.
