Get ready, Street Outlaws fans—this May, the highly anticipated Outlaw 405 Shootout is going down, and it's shaping up to be an all-out war on the track! With a $10,000 winner-takes-all payout, no weight restrictions, and no overdrive limitations, this race is attracting some of the fastest door cars around. And guess what? Two well-known 405 legends, Doc and Monza, are in the mix!

A Look at the Outlaw 405 Shootout
The Outlaw 405 Shootout, set to take place in May, is offering one of the most exciting race formats we've seen. With a $200 entry fee and a hefty cash prize, this event is expected to bring out some serious competition. The rules? Simple—only steel roof and quarter panel door slammers are allowed, but beyond that, anything goes! Any body style, any engine combo, and any power adder are fair game. Whether it's ProChargers, twin turbos, or massive screw blowers, racers are free to bring their deadliest setups to the track.
Oh, and unlike No Prep Kings, this event will be on a prepped surface, meaning we’re going to see some serious speed!
Doc and Heavy Metal Nova
One of the biggest names competing is Doc, who will be bringing his "Heavy Metal Nova" to the fight. While the Nova has been solid on No Prep Kings, it hasn’t quite kept pace with the top-tier competitors. The car’s current chassis isn’t built to handle the extreme power needed to dominate NPK, even though the engine setup—a potent Noonan Hemi with a PSI screw blower—is one of the best in the game.

Doc is in the process of building a new Monte Carlo, which will be a much more competitive ride, but it’s unclear whether it will be ready in time for the shootout. In the meantime, he’ll be looking to make a strong showing in Heavy Metal Nova, which should be more than capable of putting up a fight on a prepped track.
Monza’s Split Bumper Camaro—Lighter and Faster!
Now, let’s talk about Monza. Fans have been eagerly waiting for his return, and this event will mark one of his first public races in a couple of years. He’s bringing back his iconic split bumper Camaro, but this isn’t the same car we last saw—it’s undergone a major transformation.

Monza’s Camaro is now significantly lighter and running a ProCharged Hemi setup. Gone is the twin-turbo 41X combo—this new build is designed to be a beast on the track. One of the most interesting additions is the controversial F4 136 ProCharger, a power adder that created quite a stir a few years back on No Prep Kings. It produces insane amounts of boost and power, and with Monza’s decision to stay out of NPK, he isn’t restricted by weight rules—meaning he can run as light as possible.
The Camaro is still in the final stages of its rebuild, but from what we've seen, it looks incredible. If everything comes together as planned, this car is going to be a serious contender at the shootout.
What to Expect at the Race
With Doc and Monza in the lineup, along with a field of other heavy-hitters, this shootout is shaping up to be a must-watch event. Prepped track conditions mean cars will be able to put down their full power, and without strict rule limitations, we’ll likely see some of the fastest passes of the year.
Will Doc’s Heavy Metal Nova hold its own against the competition? Will Monza’s rebuilt Camaro prove to be a dominant force? We’ll find out soon enough!
