Welcome everybody to Street Outlaws Talk! Today, we're diving into the incredible performance of Kye Kelley, who recently hit the 3.60s in the PDRA Pro Boost category. Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography  Kye Kelley, a familiar name in the Street Outlaws community, took his new No Prep Kings Camaro to the PDRA Pro Boost competition and put on a stellar show. In round one, he managed to secure a win with his Camaro, a car built for the tough No Prep Kings series. Unfortunately, round two didn't go in his favor, but considering the level of competition he's up against, his performance remains impressive. Kelley's Camaro, while not as aerodynamic and with a shorter wheelbase compared to the typical Pro Mods, held its own remarkably well. Despite these disadvantages, his car was likely running at PDRA Pro Boost weight, which shows the level of competition he's bringing to the table. In his last run, Kelley clocked an astounding 3.697 seconds at 204 mph, even in challenging conditions with 3,400 feet of air density. The incremental times are equally impressive: 0.938 seconds to the 60-foot mark and 2.49 seconds to the 330-foot mark. While his 60-foot time isn't the fastest we've seen, the 60 to 330-foot performance is noteworthy, highlighting the car's power and Kelley's driving skills. Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography  To put this into perspective, other No Prep Kings cars typically run in the 1.90s to 1.920s for the 60-foot time under better conditions. Given the 3,400 feet of air density, it's no surprise the 60-foot time wasn't at its best, yet the car still managed to accelerate impressively to the 330-foot mark. It's worth noting that for Kelley to compete in the PDRA, he needs to run at a minimum weight of 2,620 lbs, whereas the No Prep Kings minimum weight for his car is 2,775 lbs. This difference in weight can significantly impact performance. In his first round, Kelley's car ran a 3.71 at 202 mph, with a 60-foot time of 0.940 seconds and again hitting 2.49 seconds to the 330-foot mark. This consistency shows the car’s potential even in less than ideal conditions. Photo by Gary Rowe Imagine what this car could do in better air, around 1,000 to 1,500 feet, with lower water grains. The potential is mind-blowing. However, competing at the PDRA weight means adding 150 lbs for No Prep Kings competitions, which could slow the car by about five numbers. Nonetheless, Kelley can run more overdrive in the No Prep Kings series, possibly balancing out the added weight. Kye Kelley's performance is a testament to his skill and the incredible power of his Camaro. Despite the tough competition and challenging conditions, he's proven that he's a force to be reckoned with in the Pro Boost category. Stay tuned for more updates and keep following Street Outlaws Talk for the latest in the world of street racing and No Prep Kings!

Hello, Street Outlaws fans! Today, we’ve got some exciting updates on Jeff Lutz’s new 57 Chevy and the return of his iconic GTO to No Prep Kings (NPK) racing. Buckle up as we dive into the latest news from the world of Street Outlaws. Photo by LUTZ RACE CARS  Jeff Lutz’s 57 Chevy: A Masterpiece in the Making The wait is finally over—Jeff Lutz’s new 57 Chevy is complete! While we won’t see the fully assembled car until the Tri-Five Nationals in a few days, the build is officially finished, and it’s already been fired up. This car is expected to be a showstopper, featuring a badass small block build. Although we haven’t seen it in all its glory yet, we can bet it looks absolutely amazing with the front end and everything else put together. Interestingly, Jeff Lutz has decided to put this beautiful beast up for sale. With multiple race cars in his collection, including the Mustang, the GTO, and Mad Max, Jeff seems to be trimming down his fleet. The asking price for the 57 Chevy hasn’t been disclosed, but considering the cost of building a brand-new car of this caliber, it’s estimated to be worth north of $300,000. Just the chassis alone costs around $200,000 to $250,000, so the final price tag will undoubtedly reflect the high-end craftsmanship and performance potential of this car. Photo by LUTZ RACE CARS  The GTO Makes a Comeback In addition to the 57 Chevy, Jeff Lutz’s GTO is making a return to NPK racing. According to Jeff, the GTO is actually faster than his current Mustang, though it lacks the same level of consistency. On a prepped track, the GTO has a distinct advantage due to its lighter weight—over 200 pounds lighter than the Mustang, in fact. NPK rules allow for this weight difference, making the GTO a formidable competitor on a fully prepped surface. Photo by Street Outlaws Live  Upcoming Races and High Altitude Challenges Looking ahead, the next races in the NPK series will take place in high-altitude locations, including Washington, Idaho, and Las Vegas. High-density altitude (High DA) conditions often pose a challenge for ProCharger-equipped cars, which lose significant power in such environments. However, the GTO, with its twin-turbo setup, is less affected by these conditions compared to ProChargers, as it doesn’t lose as much power due to the efficiency of the turbo system. Consistency is Key The main challenge for Jeff Lutz and the GTO is achieving consistent performance. While the GTO has won NPK events in the past and is the last turbo car to win in NPK, it needs to match the consistency of ProCharger and screw-blown combinations to remain competitive. Despite this, Jeff’s GTO has a significant weight advantage, which could play to his favor on certain tracks. Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography  The Mustang: Consistency at Its Best While the GTO is making headlines, Jeff’s Mustang remains a strong contender due to its consistency. Last season, the Mustang performed exceptionally well, thanks to its reliable setup. However, to stay ahead of the competition, it will need to pick up more speed. In Conclusion We’re all eager to see Jeff Lutz’s new 57 Chevy in action and to watch the GTO compete again in the upcoming NPK races. With high-altitude challenges and fierce competition, this season promises to be thrilling. Stay tuned for more updates and be sure to catch the latest episodes of Street Outlaws to see how Jeff Lutz and his incredible machines fare on the track. Until next time, keep your engines revving and your spirits high! For more updates and in-depth coverage of the Street Outlaws NPK series, don’t forget to subscribe and comment on our posts.

Hello, Street Outlaws fans! Today on Street Outlaws Talks, we have some exciting news about Scott Taylor and his car, Track Doe. Scott is making significant upgrades for the rest of the No Prep Kings Season 7. Make sure to subscribe, comment, and stay tuned for more updates on Street Outlaws, the No Prep Kings race series, and all other Street Outlaws shows. Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography  Scott Taylor is not just working on a brand new 1969 Camaro, which will be a tribute to his late father, but he's also upgrading Track Doe. Track Doe, which was built and debuted back in 2021, has proven to be a fast and competitive car. Although it hasn't won a main Invitational event yet, it has reached several finals and won two Grade Eights. Despite its success, Track Doe has faced challenges due to its weight. Being heavier than other ProCharger cars has made it difficult to meet the minimum weight requirements and optimize its performance. However, Scott has been actively addressing this issue. Recently, he added a brand new front end and is incorporating a lot of titanium to reduce the car's weight. Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography  Last year, when the F4 136 ProCharger was legal and had a significant weight break, Scott couldn't run at the minimum weight for that specific ProCharger. This forced him to use the 14-1 ProCharger at a heavier weight, putting him at a disadvantage. However, this season, the weight for the 14-1 ProCharger has been reduced, making it more competitive. Six races have already been won by this combination of ProCharger Hemi with the 140s ProCharger. With these changes, Scott is now likely running at the required weight for the 140 ProCharger, which should enhance the car's performance. Scott briefly switched to turbos, achieving a top speed of 213 mph in the eighth mile, but found that turbos weren't suitable for the no prep track conditions. He quickly reverted to the ProCharger setup and, despite being slightly behind, is catching up fast with these latest upgrades and more testing. Scott Taylor has always been a formidable competitor, previously ranking number three in the final point standings for the championship in Season 3. With these upgrades, we hope to see Scott secure his first Invitational No Prep Kings event win this season. Stay tuned for more updates on Scott Taylor and Track Doe as they continue to push the limits in the No Prep Kings series!

Hello, Street Outlaws fans! Today, we dive into the latest excitement: Kye Kelley racing in the PDRA Pro Boost class with his new No Prep Kings Camaro. Kye has been testing his car at the US 131 Motorsports Park, preparing for the big Pro Boost race this weekend. Photo by Kye Kelley Racing  Kye's third-generation Camaro is turning heads. Despite challenging conditions with water grains over 100 and a density altitude (DA) exceeding 3500 feet, Kye is pushing forward. Such conditions are tough for blower and ProCharger cars, as they lose a lot of power. However, it’s still thrilling to see what numbers this beast will put down. Under the hood, Kye's Camaro boasts a potent N49 Hemi engine and a PSI C-rotor supercharger. The car is exceptionally light, aligning well with Pro Boost rules, which could give Kye an edge in the competition. Although it's tough to predict exact performance due to the weather, there's a lot of excitement about the potential times Kye might post. One of the intriguing aspects of No Prep Kings (NPK) racing is the no-time rule. This means racers and spectators don't get to see the exact times, adding a layer of mystery and strategy. However, some drivers do light up the boards, giving a sneak peek into their capabilities. If Kye decides to do so, it will be a real treat for the fans. Photo by Kye Kelley Racing  To give some perspective, Jim Howe recently ran a 3.71 at 203 mph in relatively better conditions, posting impressive split times along the way. Kye’s car, with its impressive setup and lightweight build, might just match or even surpass these figures, albeit in less favorable conditions. Kye has shared some testing footage, showing his Camaro dialed in by the second pass. This rapid progress hints at the car’s tremendous potential. As Kye continues to fine-tune his setup, fans are eagerly waiting to see how he performs this weekend. Photo by Kye Kelley Racing  With not much racing action this weekend, all eyes are on Kye Kelley and his Camaro. Will he post some impressive times and shake up the Pro Boost field? Only time will tell, but one thing's for sure – it's going to be exciting to watch! Stay tuned to StreetOutlawsTalks.com for more updates, and don't forget to subscribe and comment. Let’s keep the conversation going as we follow Kye Kelley’s journey in the Pro Boost class!

Hello everyone, and welcome back to Street Outlaws Talks! Today, we’re diving into the latest on Dominator and his relentless journey of upgrading his iconic Dodge Dart for the No Prep Kings series. Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography  For those who might be new here, don't forget to subscribe, leave a comment, and stay tuned for more updates on all your favorite Street Outlaws shows. Dominator, whose real name is Joe Woods, has been a staple in the Street Outlaws series from the very beginning. He's known for his unwavering commitment to his Dodge Dart, a car he has raced since the first season of the show. This car has been with him for over a decade, possibly close to 20 years, making it a symbol of dedication and perseverance in the racing community. Over the years, Dominator's Dart has seen numerous upgrades. He transitioned from nitrous to turbos and switched from a big block Chevy to a powerful N48 Hemi engine. Despite these upgrades, the car has faced challenges, especially on the No Prep Kings (NPK) circuit. The Dart, originally built for street racing, has had a hard time adapting to the demands of the NPK tracks. Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography  Recently, Dominator has made significant modifications to his Dart. He replaced the front end with a new carbon fiber piece, shedding 50 pounds from the car. This weight reduction is crucial, particularly on the front end, as it improves the car’s balance and handling. In NPK racing, having the right weight distribution is essential for dealing with varying track conditions. That's why many NPK cars add weight to either the back or front to achieve optimal performance. While there's been speculation about Dominator switching from his twin-turbo setup to a ProCharger, for now, he’s sticking with the turbos. Many in the racing community doubt the effectiveness of the twin-turbo setup in NPK, and there are rumors that other racers like Chris Rankin might be switching their setups too. However, Dominator's commitment to his current configuration shows his determination to make it work. Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography  One of the most admirable aspects of Dominator's journey is his hands-on approach. Unlike many racers who rely heavily on crews, Dominator works on his car mostly by himself. He’s built the chassis, handled the upgrades, and manages the maintenance, which is a testament to his skills and dedication. This DIY approach has earned him respect, even if he sometimes faces skepticism about his performance. In Season 5 of Street Outlaws, Dominator had a memorable run, making it to the final four and defeating some of the fastest cars, including John Odom’s. Moments like these highlight his potential and the incredible feats he can achieve. Dominator represents the "little guy" in the racing world—those who build and tune their own cars. While stars like Justin Swanstrom, Jim Howe, and Ryan Martin are celebrated, it's crucial to recognize the underdogs who pour their heart and soul into their machines. Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography  As Dominator continues to upgrade his Dart, rebuilding the engine, and fine-tuning every aspect, we can only hope to see him rise through the ranks in NPK. His journey is a reminder of the passion and hard work that define the Street Outlaws community. Stay tuned for more updates, and let's support Dominator as he pushes the limits with his beloved Dodge Dart! For more stories and updates, keep visiting StreetOutlawsTalks.com .

Hello, Street Outlaws fans! Welcome to Street Outlaws Talks, your go-to source for all things related to the world of street racing. Today, we’ve got some exciting news—Kye Kelley has put his famous car, "Jangalang," up for sale. If you're in the market for a top-tier race car, this might just be the deal of the year! Photo by Kye Kelley Racing  A few days ago, Kye Kelley announced that he is officially selling "Jangalang" for $300,000, turnkey. This means the car is ready to race right out of the gate. For those not familiar, "Jangalang" comes equipped with a 521 cubic inch Nunan 49 Hemi and a PSIC rotor fuel tech. Essentially, this car is ready to hit the track and compete at the highest level. For those interested but not willing to shell out $300,000, there's another option. Kye is also offering the car for $150,000 as a roller with fuel tech. This means you get the chassis and other components but will need to add your own powertrain. Yes, $300,000 is a hefty sum, but when you consider the cost of building a car of this caliber, it starts to look like a bargain. A brand new chassis alone can set you back around $250,000. By the time you add wiring and other necessary components, you're easily looking at a $400,000 investment for a new No Prep Kings (NPK) car. Photo by Kye Kelley Racing  To give you some context, recently, two NPK cars went up for sale—Tim Wallace's Nova and a sixth-generation Camaro with a Procharged Prine Hemi. Both were priced over $400,000, with the Camaro reaching $450,000. And these aren't brand new builds! For $300,000, you’re getting a championship-winning car. Kye Kelley clinched the individual championship last season with "Jangalang," proving its speed and reliability. With a bit of fine-tuning, there's no doubt this car can dominate again. Additionally, "Jangalang" isn't limited to just big tire racing. You can also run it on radials or small tires, making it a versatile choice for various racing formats. And let's not forget the screw blown Nunan Hemi under the hood—one of the best and most expensive combinations in the racing world. Screw blowers are not only hard to find but also incredibly pricey. Photo by Kye Kelley Racing  So, if you're serious about racing and want a proven winner, "Jangalang" offers an incredible value. With the rising costs of building new NPK cars, getting a turnkey championship car for $300,000 or even a roller for $150,000 is a deal you shouldn't pass up. Interested buyers should contact Kye Kelley directly. Don't miss out on the chance to own a piece of street racing history and a car that’s ready to win more championships!

Hello everyone! Welcome back to Street Outlaws Talks. Today, we’re diving into some exciting news: Justin Swanstrom has officially started on his 1967 Mustang build for the No Prep Kings (NPK) series. Photo by Justin Swanstrom Just yesterday, Justin released the first photo of this brand-new build. This 1967 Mustang is set to be a purpose-built NPK car, featuring a screw-blown Hemi engine. It’s clear that Justin is pulling out all the stops for this new project. Justin Swanstrom, known for his extensive car-building experience, arguably leads the largest racing operation in NPK. His lineup includes notable cars such as Prenup, Bad Blood, and Side Piece, which is now known as Sir Vincent. Sir Vincent is actually Todd Fallon’s new NPK car. Together, Todd Fallon Racing and JNS Racing make up a formidable team with four NPK-capable cars and a Pro Mod. Their operation is massive and continuously growing. Photo by Justin Swanstrom For the next season of NPK, Justin’s ride will be this new 1967 Mustang. Bad Blood will serve as a backup car for both Justin and Todd Fallon. Sir Vincent, equipped with a similar Hemi combination, will be Todd’s primary ride. Interestingly, there’s a trend of 1967 Mustangs making their way into NPK. Another new 1967 Mustang, set to debut in Washington this August, will also feature a screw-blown Hemi with a PJ’s combination. Additionally, Jerry Bird is running a 1967 Mustang built by Whistle Race Cars, the same team behind Justin’s new build. Photo by Justin Swanstrom We’re seeing numerous racers like Scott Taylor and Doc also unveiling new cars. Despite the uncertain future direction of NPK, these builds suggest that there’s still significant momentum and anticipation for upcoming seasons. Building an NPK car isn’t a simple task. These cars are meticulously designed and constructed with NPK's specific requirements in mind. While Justin was able to repurpose Prenup as a radial car, most of these cars are built solely for NPK, from the chassis to the weight distribution. Photo by Justin Swanstrom We’re excited to see how Justin’s 1967 Mustang will perform. With a strong combination under the hood and Justin’s expertise, this car is sure to be a fierce competitor. Stay tuned for more updates and let’s see how this new build turns out! Don’t forget to subscribe and comment to stay updated on all things Street Outlaws and No Prep Kings.

Hey friends, welcome back to Street Outlaws Talks, your go-to destination for all things street racing. Today, we’ve got an electrifying topic to dive into: the potential return of the legendary 405 List. Yes, you heard that right! We're talking about the heart and soul of Street Outlaws, the element that made us fall in love with the show in the first place. So buckle up, because we're going on a wild ride down memory lane and exploring an exciting future that might just be around the corner. Photo by Street Outlaws  The Golden Era of Street Outlaws Let me paint you a picture. It’s the golden era of Street Outlaws. The 405 crew is the undisputed kings of the street, and every episode keeps us on the edge of our seats. Remember those epic out-of-town races, the sheer adrenaline, the rivalries, and the quest for dominance? Those were the days. What really set the stage for these legendary battles was the 405 Top 10 List. This wasn’t just a ranking; it was the lifeblood of the show. Fans loved seeing the best of the best battle it out for a spot on the list. These weren’t just races; they were wars fought with nitrous, horsepower, and sheer willpower. The list gave meaning to every out-of-town race. We knew the top racers on the list were the ones taking on challengers, defending their turf, and proving that the 405 was a force to be reckoned with. The End of an Era But then, like all good things, the list came to an end. It’s been a while now, longer than we might want to admit. When did the list actually go away? It’s hard to pin down exactly, but let’s take a quick look back. The list saw its last days around 2020. Since then, we’ve had seasons focusing on small tires and the round-robin tournaments for America’s List. That’s three, almost four years without the list. Can you believe it? We’ve been without the list for almost as long as we had it. That’s just crazy to think about. Photo by Street Outlaws  The Big Question: Is the 405 List Coming Back? So here’s the big question: is the 405 List coming back? And if it does, what will it look like? Picture this: live list racing. Yes, you heard me right. Imagine the thrill of live racing streamed directly to fans. No more waiting for episodes to air; we get the action in real time. Dominator and Lutz have hinted at it during the No Prep events. Now, I know what you’re thinking, talk is cheap. But here’s the thing: when the biggest names in the game are discussing it, you know there’s some serious consideration happening behind the scenes. Live list racing would be the perfect way to reignite the excitement and bring back that raw street racing energy we all crave. It would be like combining the best of both worlds—the unpredictability of live events and the structured rivalry of the list. Imagine tuning in every week to see who gets bumped off the list, who defends their spot, and who climbs the ranks. It would be a game-changer, a revolution in how we experience street racing. Honoring the Legacy and Propelling into a New Era The 405 List was the foundation of Street Outlaws. It made the show what it is today. Bringing it back, especially in a live format, would not only honor that legacy but also propel the series into an exciting new era. Think about it: live list racing nights, the drama unfolding right before our eyes, the raw emotions, the instant reactions. It would be a spectacle like no other. Photo by Street Outlaws  Join the Conversation So, what do you think? Are you as pumped about this idea as I am? Can you see the 405 List making a triumphant return and shaking up the street racing world once again? Let’s get the conversation going in the comments below.

Hello, Street Outlaws fans! Welcome to Street Outlaws Talks, your go-to source for all things related to the No Prep Kings (NPK) racing series. Today, we have some thrilling news about a new addition to the NPK lineup. A new racer is set to join the NPK series in Washington this August, and trust me, you won’t want to miss this! Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography A Glimpse at the New Contender Recently, we came across some photos of a stunning big tire Eleanor Mustang being built at Lar Jeff Race Cars. This isn’t just any Mustang—it’s equipped with a powerhouse PJ's Racing Engines 499 Hemi. This is the same engine combination that has propelled racers like Jim Howe and Alex Laughlin to impressive speeds and performance levels. The Power Behind the Machine For those not familiar, the screw blown setup, particularly this 499 Hemi, is one of the most potent combinations in the NPK circuit. Jim Howe clocked an astonishing 207 mph at the London Dragway under less-than-ideal conditions and recently hit 371 at 203 mph. These figures are a testament to the sheer power and potential of this engine setup, often outperforming other screw blown and pro charger combinations in the series. Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography Meet the Team Driving this beast of a Mustang will be Cole Pez, who is Brandon Pez’s son. The Pez family, well-known in the racing community, is renowned for their dedication and expertise. When you have a team like the Pez family behind an NPK car, you know it’s going to be a force to be reckoned with. It may take some time for them to dial everything in perfectly, but once they do, expect them to be a dominant presence on the track. Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography The Beauty and the Beast This new Mustang isn’t just about performance; it’s also a sight to behold. With its sleek lines and powerful stance, it’s a beautiful addition to the NPK lineup. And it’s not the only screw blown 1967 Mustang joining the fray—Justin Swanstrom is also building his own version. However, the Pez family’s Mustang stands out, and with their racing acumen, it’s bound to make waves. Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography The Future of NPK The NPK series is always evolving, and the introduction of new blood like Cole Pez and his incredible Mustang is a testament to that. With some of the veteran racers stepping back, fresh faces and powerful new machines are crucial for keeping the competition fierce and exciting. This new Mustang has all the makings of a race winner, thanks to its top-notch team and engine setup. Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography Looking Ahead As we gear up for the next NPK event in August, all eyes will be on this new contender. While it takes a mix of skill, preparation, and a bit of luck to clinch an NPK victory, the Pez family and their screw blown 1967 Mustang have what it takes to go all the way. Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography Stay tuned for more updates and insights on the latest happenings in the NPK and Street Outlaws series. This season promises to be more exciting than ever with the addition of this beautiful and powerful Mustang. See you at the races!

Welcome back to Street Outlaws Talks! Today, we’ve got some exciting news about Scott Taylor’s latest project – a brand new 1969 Camaro. If you're a fan of Street Outlaws, No Prep Kings, and all things racing, you're in for a treat. Be sure to subscribe and comment for more updates on everything Street Outlaws. Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography Scott Taylor's Tribute Car: The 1969 Camaro It's official: Scott Taylor is in the process of building a new No Prep Kings car, and it's shaping up to be a real game-changer. Last year, Scott started working on the Little Goldie Camaro, named after a car his father used to race. However, the car didn’t quite live up to its name. The Little Goldie he built was actually a sixth-generation Camaro, which didn't match the nostalgic feel of his dad's classic car. For various reasons, Scott decided to sell the sixth-gen Camaro. New Beginnings with the '69 Camaro Now, Scott has turned his attention to a 1969 Camaro, the same year as his father's car. This new build is in the capable hands of Bad Habits Fabrication, and while there are no pictures yet, the anticipation is high. This new Camaro is expected to be a lot lighter and faster than his previous car, Track Doe. Scott has been experimenting with different setups on Track Doe, including switching from twin turbos to a ProCharger. It's likely that he'll stick with the ProCharger setup for the new Camaro, aiming for improved performance and speed. Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography A Season of Transition While it's unlikely that the new Camaro will be ready for the current season, we can expect to see it in action by next season. This car isn’t just a nod to the past but a serious contender for future No Prep Kings events. It’s a tribute to Scott’s father, and we can bet it will carry the Little Goldie name with pride. Scott Taylor: A Force to Reckon With Scott Taylor has been on a roll lately. In a recent event in Canada, he showcased his skills by winning six out of seven races on the first day. His prowess on small tires is well-known, and he's always been a formidable competitor in No Prep Kings, despite facing some challenges last season. With the new Camaro, Scott is poised to come back stronger and faster. Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography Stay tuned for more updates on Scott Taylor’s 1969 Camaro and all things Street Outlaws. This new build promises to bring even more excitement to the track, and we can’t wait to see it in action. For more Street Outlaws news, be sure to subscribe to our channel and leave a comment below.

Welcome, Street Outlaws fans! Today, we dive into a hot topic: Will Jerry Bird stick with nitrous on No Prep Kings (NPK)? If you love Street Outlaws and NPK as much as we do, hit subscribe and stay tuned for more updates! Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography  Jerry Bird stands as the lone nitrous warrior on No Prep Kings. With heavyweights like Lizzy Musi and David Gates exiting the nitrous scene (Gates even switched to a screw-blown setup), Jerry remains the last man standing with his nitrous-powered machine. It’s a rare sight in the current landscape of NPK, and fans like me can’t help but admire the roar of his 959 cubic inch nitrous motor, the flames, and the sheer raw power. However, there are significant changes on the horizon. Buck Racing Engines, the engine shop that has been the backbone of Jerry’s nitrous motors, announced their retirement. They’re selling their building and ceasing engine production and servicing. This is a substantial hit to Jerry Bird’s program. Not too long ago, during a live feed at an NPK event, there was talk about Jerry possibly switching to a boosted combination. They might stick with nitrous for the rest of this year, but a move to a boosted setup seems likely soon. If that happens, it could spell the end of nitrous in NPK. Photo by Jerry Bird - Bird Boyz We’re also seeing the decline of turbo setups in NPK, as they’re just not keeping pace with other combinations. While I believe a nitrous car can still be competitive, it’s a tough battle. The key issue is the complexity involved in tuning a nitrous setup. You’re juggling nitrous kits, timing, fuel management, and a lockup torque converter, among other variables. This makes nitrous cars more inconsistent and harder to tune compared to screw-blown or ProCharger combinations. This complexity might be pushing Jerry to consider other options, possibly a ProCharger setup. But such a switch isn’t just about changing engines. It involves significant modifications to the chassis, wiring, and other components. So, even with the current break in the NPK season, I doubt they’ll switch setups mid-season. It’s a massive undertaking. Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography  Looking ahead, maybe next year we’ll see Jerry Bird sporting a different power adder. For now, his nitrous car remains fast but lacks the consistency of its boosted competitors. As the season progresses, we’ll keep a close eye on Jerry’s journey and any potential changes. Stay tuned to StreetOutlawsTalks.com for all the latest updates on Jerry Bird and your other favorite NPK racers.
