  • Damon’s Big Block Chevy: A Fair or Unfair Advantage on No Prep Kings?

    Damon, the number one racer on the No Prep Kings Invitational point standings, has been dominating the competition with his unique big block Chevy combination. But will his engine and blower setup be subject to a rule change next season? This is Street Outlaws No Prep Talk, and today we will discuss this controversial topic. Photo by Damon Merchant Damon is one of my favorite racers on NPK. I really like him and he did extremely well this season. I was very happy for him and I always root for him. He doesn’t have the huge budgets that some of the other racers have, but he came out with a specific combination and destroyed the competition. His engine is a billet block 484 ci big block Chevy with MBE wedge heads. These heads are very efficient and flow around 590-600 cfm on the intake port, which is insane. His blower is a ProCharger F4 136, which is one of the biggest and most powerful blowers on the market. Photo by Damon Merchant Now, every time I talk about rules on NPK, everybody thinks that I have something to do with the rules or that I have any insight on the new rules. The truth is that I’m just giving out my opinion. When there are official rules released, I always share them with you and give my opinion. This year, there has been a big controversy regarding Damon’s big block Chevy combination. Some people think that he has an unfair advantage and that he should get more weight or run a smaller blower. Others think that he is following the rules and that he deserves to win. Photo by Dean Images My personal opinion is that he should not get any weight or blower change for his combination. Yes, he is running a billet block, but he is not getting an additional 100 lb weight break like Jeff Lutz does for his cast aluminum block. His block is not a standard big block Chevy block, but neither are the hemis that are running on NPK. I don’t think his engine makes the same power as a hemi, even though his heads are very good. He still gets a weight break for running a wedge head instead of a hemispherical head, which is fair. Photo by RadicalSpeed I do think that the ProCharger F4 136 will get some weight next season, because it is a very big and powerful blower. But I don’t think that will stop Damon from running fast and winning races. He has a very good car and a very good team. He is a great racer and I respect him a lot. Photo by Dean Images So, that’s my opinion on Damon’s big block Chevy combination. What do you think? Do you think he should get a rule change or not? Let me know in the comments below.

  • Latest Developments: Monza's Potential Chevelle Sale and Return to NPK in Street Outlaws

    Greetings, Street Outlaw enthusiasts! Today, we're diving into the buzz surrounding Monza's potential comeback to the no prep Kings circuit or the intriguing possibility of him putting his current racing machine up for sale. Stay engaged, fellow fans – don't forget to subscribe, comment, and stay tuned for more exclusive coverage on Street Outlaw's NPK series and related shows. The noticeable absence of Monza has left a notable void in both the no prep Kings realm and other Street Outlaw productions. As devoted followers eagerly await his next move, Monza recently posed a question to fans, prompting speculation about his imminent endeavors. Personally, I'm eager to witness Monza take on the challenging no prep Kings, armed with his latest powerhouse, featuring an MH7 procharged motor from Prine, meticulously assembled by Cameron Johnson Race Car. Dismissing claims that his vehicle is outdated, it's essential to clarify that Monza's car, constructed by Cameron Johnson Race Cars a mere two to three years ago, secured victory in the last race of Season 6. Contrary to outdated notions, this is a modern, up-to-date machine that's far from being obsolete. Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography Running the NPK circuit involves a substantial financial commitment, particularly for a rigorous 15-race season. Managing the car, motorhome, trailer, and other essentials demands significant funding, making it a formidable undertaking without reliable sponsors. While optimism surrounds Monza's potential sponsorship, nuances of securing financial backing remain an enigma. Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography While I personally can't contribute financially, there might be benevolent individuals with the means to support Monza in his quest for NPK glory. The financial demands are substantial, and embarking on this venture without proper support is a daunting task. The anticipation surrounding Monza's new racing machine has been palpable, from its construction phase to the highly awaited race debut. Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography Another tantalizing prospect is Monza potentially parting ways with his current car, paving the way for the resurrection of the OG split bumper Camaro. However, the fate of street racing on Street Outlaws remains uncertain. Should the OG Camaro make a comeback, it could feature in regular no prep races or potentially make waves in street shows if they make a return next season. The future holds many uncertainties, with no official confirmation of Street Outlaw shows for the upcoming season. In summary, while the excitement for Monza's potential return to the racing scene is palpable, the financial realities of such a venture cannot be understated. Sponsors and substantial funding are indispensable for witnessing Monza's triumphant comeback in the high-stakes world of no prep Kings. Stay tuned for more updates as the saga unfolds!

  • Jeff Lutz Contemplates a Shift from Turbos to ProCharger: Unleashing the GTO's Potential in No Prep

    Street Outlaws fans are buzzing with anticipation as the off-season brings forth speculations about changes in the racing scene. One name that has surfaced in recent discussions is Jeff Lutz, a formidable force in the No Prep Kings (NPK) series. The big question on everyone's mind is whether Jeff Lutz will make a bold move away from twin turbos, potentially unlocking the full potential of his GTO on the unforgiving tracks of No Prep Kings. Photo by RadicalSpeed The Twin Turbo Dilemma: In a recent Street Outlaws SN Prep Talk, the focus shifted to the impressive quarter-mile record set by Mickey and Jose Gonzalez in their twin-turbo Camaro Pro Mod. The feat has reignited discussions about the effectiveness of twin turbos in the NPK series. Despite the success in other racing categories, twin turbos have seemingly struggled to maintain consistency in the unique conditions of NPK races. Photo by RadicalSpeed Jeff Lutz's Struggles: The spotlight then turns to Jeff Lutz and his iconic GTO, a machine that has showcased impressive speed and performance but has faced challenges in the fiercely competitive NPK landscape. Previously a top contender, Lutz and his crew have found themselves slipping to 19th place in the main Invitational point standings, a significant setback for a team accustomed to being in the top tier. Photo by RadicalSpeed ProCharger Solution: The article suggests a potential solution to Jeff Lutz's struggles – a shift from twin turbos to a ProCharger setup. The author argues that installing a ProCharger on the big block Chevy combination could significantly enhance the GTO's performance. By leveraging a cast aluminum block and reducing the weight to under 2,600 lbs, the GTO could become a formidable competitor, possibly even surpassing the current leaders in the NPK series. Photo by RadicalSpeed Unlocking the GTO's Potential: The proposed ProCharger setup, coupled with a weight reduction and upgraded cylinder heads, could potentially make Jeff Lutz's GTO a "killer" in the NPK series. Drawing parallels to Damon's success with a similar configuration, the article explores the potential benefits of making such a strategic shift. It emphasizes the importance of adapting to the evolving dynamics of NPK racing to stay competitive and regain a prominent position in the rankings. Photo by RadicalSpeed Jeff Lutz's Decision: As the article concludes, it acknowledges Jeff Lutz's historical affinity for twin turbo setups but speculates that the challenging season may prompt him to reconsider. The anticipation builds as fans await an official announcement regarding any changes to Jeff Lutz's racing configuration, leaving the Street Outlaws community eager to see if the GTO will indeed undergo a transformation that could redefine its performance in the upcoming NPK season.

  • Navigating the Engine Combos: Weight Breaks and Affordability in Street Outlaws No Prep Kings

    In the adrenaline-fueled world of Street Outlaws No Prep Kings (NPK), where raw power and cutting-edge technology collide on the race track, there's a subtle yet crucial factor that often goes unnoticed - the engine combo rule. Specifically, the debate over weight breaks for different engine combinations, particularly the 48 Hemi versus the 49 Hemi, has sparked discussions within the racing community. This article aims to shed light on the missing engine combo rule and its potential benefits for racers using older engines. Photo by RadicalSpeed The Weight Break Dilemma: The heart of the matter revolves around the weight breaks allocated to racers based on their engine choice. According to insider information, if a racer opts for the 48 Hemi engine combo, they receive a weight break compared to those running the 49 Hemi combo. The exact differences between the MH7, MH6, and MH5 remain elusive, making it challenging to classify the Prine stuff accurately. However, when it comes to the Nunan stuff, the disparity between the 49 bpace Nunan and the 48 bpace Nunan is more straightforward. Photo by RadicalSpeed Racers Embracing the 48 Combo: Several notable racers within NPK have chosen to stick with the 48 combination. Dominator, Tony McKin, and Jim H are among the drivers opting for the 48 Hemi engine. Additionally, some ProCharger enthusiasts like Bob Diotti and Brad have embraced older engine combos rather than the latest and greatest. The rationale behind this choice varies, from financial considerations to having a surplus of 48 motors. The Nunan Insight: Nunan, a prominent name in the racing world, has emphasized the difference between the 48 and 49 Hemi combos, stating a horsepower gap of roughly 200. This revelation adds a layer of complexity to the weight break debate. If the performance gap is significant, should racers with the 48 combo be granted a weight break to level the playing field? Photo by RadicalSpeed Affordability and Diversity: Street Outlaws NPK isn't solely the playground of multi-millionaires. Many racers, like Damon, aka Dominator, exemplify the spirit of doing the best with what they have. Offering a weight break to those with older engine combos could contribute to maintaining the series' affordability, ensuring that passionate racers, regardless of their financial status, can participate competitively. Photo by RadicalSpeed Closing Thoughts: In the dynamic world of NPK, where power and strategy intertwine, the missing engine combo rule introduces an intriguing dimension. The question of whether racers with the 48 combo should receive a weight break raises considerations of affordability, diversity, and maintaining a competitive edge. As NPK continues to evolve, only time will tell if these debates lead to rule adjustments that benefit the racers who dare to push the boundaries of speed. Photo by RadicalSpeed

  • Chuck's Insight into His NPK Struggles and Plan to Move away from Turbo's for NPK Season 7

    In the ever-evolving world of street racing, Chuck Seitsinger, a familiar face in Street Outlaws and the No Prep Kings series, is making headlines with his contemplation of a significant change for Season 7. Chuck, known for his racing prowess and contributions to the sport, is considering moving away from turbochargers, a move that could redefine his strategy and potentially reshape the dynamics of the upcoming season. Photo by T'S Photography Chuck recently shared insights on his Facebook page, reflecting on the challenges he faced during the past season. It's no secret that Chuck has encountered difficulties in the No Prep Kings series, particularly since the competition intensified around Season 4, leaving many veterans struggling to keep up. Video by Street Outlaws Insider During Season 4, Chuck introduced a new car with the same twin-turbo 41x combination that had brought success to Ryan Martin in Season 3, securing a championship. However, as the season progressed, it became evident that this twin-turbo setup, while powerful, was struggling to maintain consistency. The emergence of purpose-built NPK cars equipped with substantial financial backing altered the landscape, leaving some seasoned racers, including Chuck, behind. Chuck's insight into his NPK struggles. Photo by Chuck Seitsinger Racing A notable trend this season has been the shift from twin-turbo to procharger setups, as demonstrated by prominent racers like Giuseppe Gentile and the Murder Nova. Both drivers moved away from the twin-turbo configurations and found success with prochargers. Giuseppe Gentile, now in the top 10, and the Murder Nova, solidly in the top five, showcase the effectiveness of this alternative setup. Photo by Chuck / Death Trap Acknowledging the challenges he faced, Chuck openly admitted that sticking with turbos this season was a mistake. Many racers from the 405 crew, to which Chuck belongs, have already embraced prochargers, emphasizing their speed, consistency, and easier tuning compared to twin-turbo configurations. It seems increasingly likely that Chuck will follow suit in the upcoming season. Photo by Chuck Seitsinger Racing Despite the inevitable changes, there is optimism that Chuck will regain his competitive edge. Recognized for his racing prowess and accomplishments, including securing the number one spot in the 405 show with his Mustang on big tires, Chuck is no stranger to overcoming challenges. Even in the previous season with a turbocharged street car, he demonstrated exceptional performance. As Chuck contemplates his next move, there's anticipation that he will transition to a procharger setup. Many within the racing community believe this shift is not only logical but necessary for Chuck to remain competitive in the evolving landscape of NPK. While turbocharged cars undeniably carry a unique allure, the prevailing sentiment suggests that prochargers may be the key to future success in No Prep Kings. As the off-season unfolds, enthusiasts eagerly await Chuck's decision and hope for a resurgence that will solidify his standing as a formidable contender in No Prep Kings Season 7. While the future of turbocharged cars in NPK remains uncertain, the prospect of Chuck embracing a procharger setup adds an intriguing layer to the evolving dynamics of street racing.
