November 2, SYDNEY AUSTRALIA-PETE PISADILIS SETS ANDRA AA/APIA RECORD 1ST FULL PASS ON NEW BENNETT 440 SBC TURBO ENGINE

Congratulations to Pete Pisadilis on setting the ANDRA AA/APIA record with his Bennett 440 Small Block Chevy Turbo Engine. Pete ran 6.90@206 mph the first full pass on the car with a very soft tune up and almost 200 lbs over weight. We look forward to setting the ET record soon and re-setting the mph record.

“The power of this Bennett Engine is un real. I ran a non-Bennett engine like this before I purchased this new version from Bennett and Bennett’s version runs quicker and faster with 10 psi less boost! Cannot wait to step on this thing and see how fast it will go! Would also like to thank John Kolivas for helping me with tuning." - Pete Pisadilis, Melbourne Australia

“Congrats to Pete on a good first outing. Pete has became a good customer, but importantly a good friend. We are expanding our presence in Australia very soon and look forward to working with everyone down under.” - Jon Bennett-Bennett Racing Engines

Shane Fisher...

Qualified #1 with a 4.535

Race Winner

Ran Top Speed For Event 166.60 mph

X275 World Record ET 4.535

X275 World Record MPH 166.60 mph

John Kolivas fought some problems in his Outlaw 275 Mustang over the weekend, but did run top speed in Outlaw 275 with 181 mph shot. Car was on a record shattering pass in the semi but spun the tires a little before the 330.

“Amazing weekend with our Bennett Powered Mustang. With Shane’s lighting quick reaction times I kept our tune ups conservative all weekend as evidenced by the soft 60ft numbers, but the top end charge of this Bennett Power is unreal. During the “mine shaft” air conditions of the 3rd round of qualifying the car was a “moon shot” but spun the tires. We went 4.53 in 2nd round of qualifying. Most cars picked up .06-.08 in the 3rd session-you do the math…” -John Kolivas

“Proud of all of the Bennett Power family this weekend, to own the top spots at one of, if not the most elite X275 race of the year is a testament to our customers, employees, and our X275 engine program. Huge congrats to Shane Fisher for making it 2 in a row with his big win at Holly Springs. Shane and his family are class acts and it is an honor to have them as customers. Can’t say enough about John Kolivas and his skills on tuning this hot rod, and Pressurized Solutions for great fabrication work on the car, and Racecraft on a killer chassis. When Shane ran 4.59 in April to become the first X275 turbo car in the 4.50’s we knew we just had to convert some data to even more horsepower. Since then the amounts of power we are finding in these turbo platforms far exceeds our expectations. We are excited to be working on our new Generation 3 X275 engine and will be shipping this first piece really soon. We are simply not setting back on the recent accomplishments of our engine program, we will continue to incorporate new data into even more horsepower.

Many continue to ask how, some reverse engineer, and some attempt to buy our parts designs from our vendors-we could not be more flattered! -Jon Bennett-Bennett Racing Engines

SEPTEMBER 13, 2013-SHAWN AYERS 4.55@161 MPH X275 "quickest and fastest ever"; FISHER 4.59

In testing Friday night to get ready for the 2 big fall races at Valdosta and Holly Springs Shawn Ayers and Shane Fisher made runs in the 4.50’s.

We recently updated Shawn Ayers engine and he picked up from shop last week. First time out with updates car goes 4.55@161 mph. Shawn runs a Bennett 302 Based Ford w/ Bennett Prepped TFS HI Port Cylinder Heads.

Shane Fisher ran 4.59 @ almost 160mph same night, but not with the short times they were looking for. Shane’s car was recently updated with new high flow intercooler by Pressurized Solutions www.pressurizedsolutions.com that is designed specifically for X275 turbo cars.

“We have recently found even more power in these X275 engines with recent camshaft and valvetran testing, and applied these to Shawn’s car. We cannot be more happy with the results. Shane’s car is also set to run deep into 50’s in the fall with recent updates by John Kolivas. The crew here at the shop and myself are continuing to work hard to find even more power. I’m having and have had a lot of fun developing these X275 engines, and look forward to the rest of 2013 and into 2014 as we are committed to the continued supply of top running engines for the class!”–Jon Bennett

ATTENTION X275 RACERS: We’ve done it with 20 Degree In Line, Canted Valves, Victors, and Brodix Neal Cylinder Heads. We’ve done it with 348 cid, 363 cid, 400 cid, and 427 cid. We’ve done it with LF85mm, LF85mm, and MF88mm. Are you reading this and seeing your heads, cubic inch, and turbo size listed and wondering why you can’t get out of the 4.70’s ?

Congratulations to RTS Motorsports-Randy Sharpston, Driver Jeff Cooner and Pressurized Solutions for their win in Outlaw Radial in Huntsville this past weekend. With tricky track conditions due to weather, Pressurized put Jeff on 4.50 cruise control to take the win!

Congratulations to Dusty Mewbourn on his win in X275. With too much power for the hot race track Dusty put his car on 4.80's cruise control, but did run a string of 156mp runs. Dusty runs a Bennett 434X engine with a single 88mm turbo.

"It is great to see our customers win a race, but anytime we can clean sweep classes it makes it more special to have an all Bennett Powered winners circle" Jon Bennett-Bennett Racing Engines

AUGUST 10, 2013 - JEFF HARRINGTON Outlaw 10.5 Car 6.64 @ 217 mph with his Bennett 427 Twin Turbo Engine 1st time out!

Congratulations to Jeff Harrington for an impressive 1st time out with his new updated Bennett 427 engine. This was done with only 28 psi of boost! We look for Jeff to lay down some really fast numbers with more boost and more time to tune the combo!

"This run was with 28lbs of boost and a fuel curve that still needed some clean-up due to rich conditions on the upper half of the fuel tables. We increased the boost for the next run to 32lbs and made the necessary changes to the fuel table and the car picked up to 6mph in the 1/8mile. However this run had to be aborted seeing the car was walking towards the wall. We feel this 6.64ET is short lived once we start to turn the boost up, which this says a lot for a small block combination !" -Jeff Harrington

"Jeff has one fast hot rod! Just another example of hardwork paid by both Jeff and the Bennett Racing team in shop. We continue to supply the most advanced turbo engine program out there and this another example of a small block that out ET's most big blocks! -Jon Bennett

AUGUST 10, 2013-Jeff Cooner Dominates Steele Outlaw Radial

Congratulations to Jeff Cooner (driver), Randy Sharpston (owner) and Derek & Drew-Pressurized Solutions for their recent win at Steele, Alabama in Outlaw Radial. Qualified 1st, Low ET and Race Win!

"This team tuned through tricky condtions to not only qualify #1, set low et, but to also win the race. RTS and Pressurized have raced this car for years and we are thrilled to be a part of their program during it's most successful year. This a hard working team and much deserved congratulations. As we begin to enter better racing conditions relating to weather we look for this car to go really fast with a small cid Big Block. -Jon Bennett

PETE PISADILIS TAKES DELIVERY OF NEW BENNETT 427 SMALL BLOCK CHEVY

We recently completed this 427 SBC Turbo Engine for Pete Pisadilis from Down Under In Australia. We look for Pete to begin Bennett Powered Turbo Domination Down Under !

http://www.pistolpete.net.au/home.shtml

"When looking for an engine provider I found Bennett Racing to be the only choice for small block power. The approach Jon and crew take on making horsepower with turbo engines is very different from the average turbo engine builder and that is why I went with them" -Pete Pisadilis

AUGUST 4, 2013 - JOHN KOLIVAS WINS NMCA STREET OUTLAW BOWLING GREEN

John Kolivas decided to take his Bennett powered 427 cid Mustang and take off the twin 88mm turbos and bolt on a single turbo to race the NMCA event in Bowling Green. With zero testing, mismatched converter & gearing, and an engine designed and built for twin 88mm turbos John not only ran well, but WON THE RACE with a 7.32 @ 195 mph.

Congratulations to John and his crew on an impressive weekend! Also glad to see longtime customer Joel Greathouse back at a drag race helping John (this past year Joel left drag racing to race circle track-go karts)

"I was amazed to see that my Bennett 427 that has 100 runs on it, and it designed and built for twin turbos was able to not only compete, but win this race. I can only imagine how fast I could go if I had Jon reconfigure my engine for a single turbo for this class." -John Kolivas

"Glad to see John go to Bowling Green and bring back the win with his Bennett 427 engine. I cannot remember the last time a Bennett powered car entered a NMCA or NMRA race and did not win, run low ET, or qualify #1" -Jon Bennett

All NMRA and NMCA racers: If you are tired of unexplained engine failures that keep you from making races or you are simply tired of getting outran Bennett Racing Engines can take your existing engine and re configure it into a #1 qualifying race winner, or we will design and build you a new dominant combination!

"We have never been known (yet) for our Big Block Engine Program, but myself and they guys at the shop have worked hard on using our proven small block designs and incorporating those design principals into a Big Block program. Jeff's little 565 cid engine is our first effort, and from what I saw had great results at this race with a very mild tune up"Jon Bennett
