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 ? One call can fix the 4.70 blues: 1-800-240-RACE or Jon direct at 205-269-3134. We can update your current engine or build you a new engine.
