Congrats to Donald McIntosh to his win in Super Modified 3/16/19 at Dixie Speedway!! This is the first of hopefully Many great performances by his Buick powered Super Modified. Proud to be a part of your program Donald!
Donald and his Dad, David McIntosh, have been working on this combination for over a year. You old time Buick fans may remember David from the 80’s at the GS nationals in Bowling Green Ky with his Bronze colored chassis car making some of the fastest Buick 1/4 mile passes of the time. Great people with a family tradition of great performance!

Recently had the opportunity to test Lloyd’s Stroker HEMI at Steve Morris’ Engine Dyno. The engine was built specifically to run boost, so it was pleasing to see that this combo made 640HP naturally aspirated, and we didn’ t really chase the tuneup. Mainly we were just trying to get a couple things sorted out before we put on the blower. The torque curve stayed above 550ft/lbs from 4100-6000 RPM. A nice street motor by itself! Then we hooked up the Procharger F1A Kit. With the 4.6 diameter pulley that was supplied with the kit we ended up with a solid 10PSI of boost and 992HP. Unfortunately, the other pulleys we had were a big step, and we were running out of time. Stay tuned for more boost !
