Well, folks — we’ve got a killer update for you. Justin Swanstrom’s “Outdated” Mustang is officially done, and let me tell you, it’s a work of art. Even though we might not see it tearing up a big tire class anytime soon, this machine is something every fan of fast Fords and raw horsepower needs to see. Photo by Dean Images Recently, the car was completely wired and set up by the pros over at Modern Racing. That alone tells you this isn’t just another pretty face — it’s a serious piece of equipment. The car looks flat-out amazing. It's that sleek fastback-style Mustang that turns heads even sitting still. Throw a big screw blower on top and set it on big tires, and you’ve got one mean-looking hot rod. Now, I know some people aren’t fans of how screw blowers look, especially when they stick way out and kill the “street car” vibe — but let’s be real. This isn’t a grocery-getter. It’s a full-blown drag car, and it looks nasty  in the best way possible. Photo by Justin Swanstrom Here’s the catch — and yeah, it still stings — we won’t be seeing this beast in the Speed Promotions series this season. Unfortunately, Justin and Speed Promotions couldn’t come to terms on a contract. If you’ve been following us here at Street Outlaws Talks , you already know how we feel about that. It sucks. Plain and simple. Justin’s one of the biggest names and best racers in No Prep Kings, and cutting him from the show just doesn’t make sense to us. But hey, that’s the game sometimes. So, what’s next for the Outdated Mustang? Well, Justin plans to put it on radials for now. It might become a No Time car, though he already has a couple of those in his arsenal — including the ones he runs alongside Todd Fain. There's also a chance we could see it in the Pro 275 class, which would be awesome . With the kind of setup this car has, it could be a real force in that world. Photo by Justin Swanstrom And let’s not forget — this thing is built to be top-tier. We’re talking best-of-the-best parts, a lightweight chassis, screw blower power, and all the tech you'd expect in a $500,000 build. If it ever does end up back on big tires, and especially under the no-rules Speed Promotions format, it would be a serious threat. No weight limits, no blower restrictions — just raw, unleashed performance. Until then, we’ll be keeping an eye on where and how Justin decides to run it. Maybe we’ll see it pop up in the No Time King series or at some radial events. Either way, we’re just excited to see this thing hit the track — even if it’s not where we wanted  to see it. As always, stay tuned right here on Street Outlaws Talks for more updates on Justin Swanstrom, the Outdated Mustang, and all the latest action from the world of street and no prep racing.

Hey there, Street Outlaws fans! Welcome back to Street Outlaws Talks, your go-to spot for all the real talk and raw stories from the streets. Today, we’re diving into something a little deeper—a personal chapter in the life of one of the most recognizable faces from the Street Outlaws franchise, Chuck Seitsinger, and what really led to him being placed on probation back in 2022. Most fans know Chuck for one thing: Death Trap , his iconic 1989 Ford Mustang that’s left plenty of competition in the dust. He’s known for his aggressive driving style, his fierce loyalty to his crew, and that unshakable confidence behind the wheel. But in 2022, the headlines weren't about horsepower—they were about courtrooms and consequences. Photo by Chuck / Death Trap The Incident That Shocked the Fans In the summer of 2020, Chuck faced a life-threatening battle with COVID-19. He was admitted to the ICU in critical condition, leaving him unable to care for his children, who were staying with him at the time. While he was fighting to recover, his kids were sent back to live with their mother. It was during this vulnerable period that Chuck received disturbing phone calls from his children, expressing they were having serious issues at their mother’s home. As a father, those calls lit a fire in him—and even though he was still physically recovering, his protective instincts kicked in hard. In an emotional and admittedly rash moment, Chuck made a phone call that later led to charges of harassment and threatening violence . It’s clear now that he acted out of concern and desperation, but the law didn’t see it that way. Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography Legal Fallout and Sentencing Fast forward to August 2020, when the legal proceedings began. After a lengthy court battle that wrapped up in March 2022, Chuck was found guilty of two misdemeanors—making a harassing and threatening phone call and threatening violence. Originally, he was set to plead no contest, but the judge opted for a stricter sentence. That meant 60 days in jail , a year of probation , mandatory court fees, and completion of a 13-week anger management course . Chuck ended up serving 25 days  in the Oklahoma County Jail. Owning Up and Moving Forward In true Chuck fashion, he didn’t dodge responsibility. After serving his time and fulfilling his court-mandated obligations, he made it clear that he wasn’t making excuses. “I stand up for my friends and family and that’s the way I’ve been raised,” Chuck shared publicly. “It may not have been the right approach, but I know I have to do better.” That level of honesty is exactly why fans continue to root for him—on and off the track. Photo by Chuck / Death Trap Back to What He Loves By April 2022, Chuck was out, focused, and more determined than ever. He returned to the scene with a fire in his eyes and Death Trap  back on the strip. Chuck didn’t just show up—he showed out, hitting events like the No Prep Kings series  and proving that he’s still a force to be reckoned with. A Father First, Racer Always While the streets will always be Chuck’s second home, his first love is clearly his three children—Miranda, Meline, and Chelsea . He’s never been shy about showing his dad side, often posting heartfelt family moments on social media. Even during his lowest moments, his commitment to his kids never wavered. Final Thoughts At Street Outlaws Talks , we’re all about keeping it real. Chuck Seitsinger’s story isn’t just about a court case—it’s about a man trying to do right by his family during an incredibly difficult time. Yes, mistakes were made. But Chuck did what many wouldn’t—he took accountability, did the work, and came back stronger. His journey is a reminder that even when life throws you off track, with a little grit and a lot of heart, you can always find your way back.

If there’s one thing fans love just as much as street racing drama, it’s the off-track relationships that make Street Outlaws more than just a show about fast cars. One couple that’s captured the hearts and curiosity of fans for years is Kayla Morton and Boosted GT — aka Chris Hamilton. From racing rivals to romantic partners, their story has had as many twists and turns as the backroads they’ve raced on. But are they still together? Let’s take a closer look at where things stand between Kayla and Boosted today. Photo by Mallory Elizabeth Photography From Rivalry to Romance Their journey started on the streets, literally. Kayla and Boosted first crossed paths through the Street Outlaws  world, introduced by mutual racing friends. Kayla, always known for her grit and horsepower, tried to outrun Boosted on the track, but he had the edge that day. What started as a fierce rivalry quickly turned into mutual respect — and something more. It wasn’t long before the two decided to take a big step. When Big Chief invited Kayla to be part of the Street Outlaws  franchise, her path with Boosted only got tighter. They moved to Texas together and began building a life off the track. Along with the introduction of their two children, Austin and Cooper, the couple seemed unstoppable. Trouble in Paradise However, even the strongest relationships face bumps in the road. By 2021, marital tensions had taken a toll. Kayla and Boosted made the tough decision to separate and eventually filed for divorce. The split was quiet, but noticeable — fans started seeing less of the couple on social media and during show appearances. For a while, it seemed their story had ended. Photo by RAD Torque Raceway A Surprising Turn in 2022 But Street Outlaws  fans know that nothing stays the same for long — especially in this world. In 2022, rumors started swirling that Kayla and Boosted had found their way back to each other. Fueling the speculation? Kayla’s Instagram. Posts featuring the two of them started reappearing, along with flirty captions and cozy snapshots that hinted at a rekindled spark. In August 2022, Kayla even called Boosted “dreamy” in a now-archived Instagram story, sending fans into a frenzy. The racing world took note — could this beloved duo really be giving it another shot? Back Together… and Stronger? From what we’ve seen since then, the answer appears to be yes. Kayla’s social media now offers a window into a renewed relationship. Photos of their two sons, moments from the gym, and behind-the-scenes shots with their cars show a couple back in sync. Their bond looks stronger, more grounded, and centered around their shared love for family and racing. Photo by Will Crews Photography While they haven’t made any grand announcements, the consistent posts and subtle nods to one another paint a picture that fans can’t ignore. Kayla and Boosted seem to be navigating this chapter with care, keeping their relationship more private but no less authentic. What’s Next for Kayla & Boosted? For now, it looks like Kayla and Boosted are co-parenting, co-racing, and co-existing in a way that works for them — and their fans couldn’t be happier. Whether they’re officially back together or just maintaining a close bond for their kids, the chemistry between them hasn’t gone anywhere. At Street Outlaws Talks , we’ll be keeping an eye on this fan-favorite duo as their journey continues, both on the track and off. One thing’s for sure — their story is far from over. Stay tuned to StreetOutlawsTalks.com  for more real updates and behind-the-scenes moments from the world of Street Outlaws. We cover what matters most to fans — the racing, the rivalries, and the relationships that keep us coming back for more.

Well folks, buckle up, because we’ve got some fresh news coming out of the Street Outlaws world, and it’s all centered around one of the biggest names in the game — Ryan Martin. At Street Outlaws Talks, we’ve been keeping a close eye on testing for this year’s Outlaw 32, and Ryan's got something very interesting in the works. Photo by Fireball Camaro Let’s start with the basics. Over the past few days, Ryan has been out testing the infamous gray Fireball Camaro — now equipped with a brand-new setup. He’s not out there alone either. Joining him is his teammate Carson Baker, rolling in a slick-looking Camaro of his own. While we can’t say for sure if Carson is running the exact same setup, it’s clear they’re both out there gathering data and dialing in their combos — and that’s a huge advantage. Now, let’s talk about what’s new under the hood for Ryan. He’s switched things up with a Liberty 5-speed transmission paired with a lockup and a massive ProCharger 144 centrifugal supercharger. Oh, and let’s not forget the nitrous. That’s right — he’s stacking the power adders. This combo is pushing significantly more horsepower than before, and with no minimum weight to worry about in Outlaw 32, the car is lighter too. That’s a big deal. Photo by Fireball Camaro What makes this move even more interesting is that not many racers in NPK history have paired a Liberty with a ProCharger. The only one that comes to mind? Justin Swanstrom, back in Seasons 4 and 5 before he switched to a screw blower. Most ProCharger guys stick to a Turbo 400-style transmission, so Ryan is definitely exploring new territory here. Liberty transmissions have seen some success with screw blower cars — names like John Odom, Jim Howe, and Justin himself have all run them — but for a ProCharger setup? That’s a rare move. The real benefit of the Liberty is its ability to keep RPMs up and take advantage of great track conditions. If Ryan can find consistency with this combo, we could be looking at one of the toughest setups to beat in Outlaw 32. Sure, he’s had a couple of rough test days (he admitted that himself), but if there’s one thing we know about Ryan Martin, it’s that he’s the king of dialing in a race car. The man lives  for perfecting his setup. Photo by Fireball Camaro Even though Ryan didn’t take home the NPK championship last season, let’s not forget — he’s still the winningest driver in the series. He’s won more races than anyone else, and his track record speaks for itself. While we may not see the same level of domination he had a few years ago, you’d be crazy to count him out. As for Carson Baker, keep an eye on that guy. Testing alongside Ryan means he’s getting solid data, and we could be seeing the rise of a serious contender. Two well-matched cars with similar powerplants testing side by side? That’s just smart racing. So what’s next? If Ryan can get this new combo figured out — and let’s be honest, he probably will — the gray car might just become one of the most lethal setups in the field. With a lighter chassis, more power, a Liberty, and a lockup, he’s packing everything needed to shake up the standings this season. Stay tuned here at Street Outlaws Talks — we’ll be bringing you updates, insights, and all the behind-the-scenes action from Outlaw 32 and beyond. You don’t want to miss what’s coming.

Street Outlaws fans, get ready—because the 2025 Outlaw 32 season is about to get even more exciting. Two fresh but familiar names are stepping up to the line: Carson Baker and Kyle Canion. If you’ve been following the scene closely, you've probably already seen these two make some noise at the tail end of last season. But now, they’re back—and this time, they’re bringing the big guns. Let’s break down what’s coming our way. Photo by Kyle Canion Carson Baker’s Got Ryan Martin in His Corner Carson Baker may be a new name to some, but his car is anything but unfamiliar. He’s already made a couple of appearances last season, and sharp-eyed fans might’ve noticed something special: Ryan Martin is hands-on with this build. That’s right—Ryan, the man behind one of the fastest and most consistent cars in No Prep Kings history, is essentially acting as Carson’s crew chief. And it shows. The car, an orange twin to Ryan’s signature gray ride, is loaded up with Pro Line power. Under the hood? A Pro Line MH7 Hemi with a massive ProCharger setup. Word is, Carson’s car is now sporting the 144 blower and a splash of nitrous—just like Ryan’s own weapon of choice. With Ryan wrenching and tuning, it’s safe to say this car won’t just be competitive. It’s going to be fast. Maybe not dominant out of the gate—but if history tells us anything, Ryan knows how to build a car that wins. And Carson, with a few laps under his belt already, could quickly become a force on the circuit. Photo by Fireball Camaro Kyle Canion’s Twin Turbo Comeback Now let’s talk about Kyle Canion. He’s not a rookie to this game either. He made an appearance last season, and longtime fans will remember his ProCharged Hemi Camaro from back in Season 6 (2023). But now? Things are different. Kyle’s rolling into 2025 with a twin turbo Hemi Camaro—possibly the same car as before, but heavily reworked. The move from ProCharger to twin turbo is interesting—and a bit risky in the current NPK landscape. Here’s the deal: twin turbos can make absurd amounts of power. No argument there. But getting that power to stick on a no prep surface? That’s another story. Historically, turbo cars have struggled in this environment. However, with tire rules shifting (36-inch tall slicks are now in play), the door might finally be opening for these high-horsepower setups to shine. We’ll see if Kyle’s twin turbo gamble pays off. If it does, he could bring a whole new level of competition to the mix—and maybe inspire others to take the turbo route as well. Photo by Canion Racing Why This Matters The Outlaw 32 field is deeper and more competitive than ever before. Gone are the days of one racer dominating an entire season. Ryan Martin himself—once nearly unstoppable—is now fighting tooth and nail for every win. But that’s the beauty of where Street Outlaws is right now. It’s wide open. And with names like Carson Baker stepping in with powerhouse backing, and veterans like Kyle Canion rolling out radically different builds, we’re in for a hell of a season. This isn’t just racing—it’s evolution.

Well, Street Outlaws fans, Ryan Martin is on an absolute tear! Yesterday, he bagged another win at a major small-tire race, taking home a sweet $20,000 payday after a hard-fought final round against none other than Kye Kelley. It was a wild race that had everyone on their feet, and we're here to break it all down for you at Street Outlaws Talks . Photo by Burromax Ryan, Kye, and Murder Nova all showed up to this big small-tire showdown, and as we've seen over the past few months, Ryan and his "Phoenix" Camaro are simply on another level. He's been stacking up win after win, and it's clear that his car is absolutely dialed in. Honestly, it might just be the  fastest small-tire no prep car running today. In the finals, Ryan faced off against Kye, which by now feels like a classic matchup. These two have been meeting in finals left and right lately, and they never disappoint. Kye recently swapped over to a 903 cubic inch nitrous motor—yep, you heard that right—giving him a big horsepower boost over the old 737 setup he used to run. That change definitely showed; he came out swinging in the final and actually got out ahead of Ryan. Photo by Milissa Martini But then, the drama hit. Kye pulled a huge wheelie, and as much as he fought it, he had to lift to keep the car under control. That gave Ryan just enough room to drive around him and seal the deal. Would Kye have taken the win if he stayed glued to the ground? Maybe. We'll never know for sure. What we do know is that Ryan's Phoenix Camaro runs like a rocket ship on the top end, and once he gets going, it's hard for anyone to catch him. One thing we have to talk about—how awesome is it to see Kye running big bullhorns again? Those huge nitrous flames shooting out bring back serious memories of the early seasons of No Prep Kings , when nitrous cars ruled the streets. Back then, while guys like Ryan and Birdman were rocking turbos, plenty of heavy hitters were blowing fireballs with big nitrous setups, and it made for some of the coolest visuals we've ever seen. Kye’s sticking with what he knows best too—he’s always been deadly fast on nitrous, and it's clear he hasn’t lost a step. Photo by Fireball Camaro Looking ahead, both Ryan and Kye are gearing up for some of the biggest events of the year: the upcoming 64-car throwdowns promoted by Speed Promotions. These are two-day races with $100,000 on the line—one no prep event and one prep event. Kye is expected to race the Shocker at the no prep race and might bring out his screw-blown Buick for the prepped surface event. Ryan, no surprise, will be wheeling the Phoenix Camaro at both. With 64 killers showing up and that kind of cash on the table, you can bet the competition is going to be off the charts. We can’t wait to see how it all shakes out—and of course, we'll be covering all the action right here at Street Outlaws Talks . Stay tuned, and make sure you subscribe and drop a comment. There's a lot more street racing action coming your way!

Big things are happening in the world of Street Outlaws, and Scott Taylor is right in the middle of it. Here at Street Outlaws Talks, we’re all about bringing you the latest and greatest updates, and today, we’ve got a pretty exciting one. Photo by Scott Taylor Motorsports As most fans know, Scott Taylor has been hard at work building a brand-new car for the upcoming No Prep Kings and Outlaw 32 races. After a long time in the making, it’s finally ready to make its debut. This isn’t just any build either — it's a beautiful Camaro that serves as a tribute to Scott’s father, making it even more special. Scott’s been teasing the new ride for a while now, and trust us when we say, it looks incredible. From the striking color choice to the sleek roofline, every detail screams speed and style. Under the hood, he’s sticking with a proven combo — a Proline MH7 Hemi paired with a ProCharger, just like he’s been running in past NPK seasons. If you ask us, it’s the perfect setup for someone who knows how to push a car to the limit. Photo by Scott Taylor Motorsports Last season, Scott showed he’s a serious contender by taking home wins at two NPK events, and this new car promises to take things even further. It’s designed to be lighter and faster than his previous ride, the well-known "Track Doe," which has now been sold and is headed to the radial racing scene. The first outing for Scott’s new Camaro will be next weekend at DragFest, held at Gulfport Dragway. The wiring just got finished up, and the team is working around the clock to get everything dialed in for the car’s first passes. It's cutting it close, but knowing Scott and his crew, they’ll have it ready to go. Following DragFest, it’s straight into the fire with the first official No Prep Kings race of the season, happening out in California. Not only are we excited for the season opener, but it's also the first event under the brand-new format and rules, which should definitely shake things up. Photo by Scott Taylor Motorsports Now, it’s worth mentioning that a few big names — including Justin — won’t be competing in Speed Promotions this year. But the good news? The series is wide open to anyone with a steel roof and quarters. We’re expecting to see some fresh faces jump in, like Chevy Reeves from Canada and plenty of other racers hungry to make a name for themselves. Scott’s new Camaro should have a major advantage this season. Without any minimum weight requirements, lighter cars like his can really capitalize on the rule changes. There’s been some talk about whether racers will start adding nitrous to their ProCharged combos, and while Scott hasn’t confirmed anything yet, don't be surprised if he jumps on that trend too. California's track isn’t exactly famous for perfect conditions either, so with a true no prep surface, it’ll be very interesting to see how the ProChargers stack up against the screw blowers when they're cranked all the way up. All in all, it’s shaping up to be an exciting start to the season, and here at Street Outlaws Talks, we’ll be watching every pass and bringing you all the action. Make sure you stay tuned — this season is going to be one for the books!

What’s up, Street Outlaws fans! Welcome back to Street Outlaws Talks , where we keep you locked in with everything going on in the Street Outlaws world. Today, we’re diving into some exciting news — Daddy Dave just snagged a big win at a No Time 275 race this weekend at Cecil County Dragway, and he did it in style behind the wheel of his Audi! Photo by Daddy Dave If you’ve been following Daddy Dave’s journey, you know he’s been putting in work with the Audi lately. Yesterday, it all paid off as he found himself standing proud in the winner’s circle after making some seriously strong passes on 275 tires. That Audi has always been a beast, but seeing it work this well on a small tire setup has been impressive, to say the least. The car is still rocking a Newton-based Hemi built by Extreme Racing Engines, paired with a ProCharger setup, and it’s clearly a combination that’s working. Even Boosted GT, who’s had some seat time in the Audi, mentioned how smooth and strong the car feels on small tires. A lot of times when you slap small tires on a car built for big tires, it can look a little funky or lose some of its edge, but that’s not the case here. Daddy Dave’s Audi looks mean and runs even meaner on 275s. Photo by Daddy Dave Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Speed Promotions' big series is kicking off in just a couple of weeks, and while Daddy Dave originally mentioned racing there, it’s still up in the air what car he’ll be bringing. Will he swap the Audi back to big tires? Will he jump into another car? Nobody knows for sure yet. One thing’s clear though — right now, he’s been focused on small tire action, and it’s paying off. There are also two massive $100,000-to-win small tire races coming up, and you can bet Daddy Dave is planning to show up with the Audi ready to throw down. Honestly, with how consistent and fast the car has been, he’s got a real shot at cashing in big at both events. Photo by Damon Steinke For those who might’ve forgotten, when Daddy Dave first brought out the Audi on big tires back in 2023, it won an NPK event right out of the gate. The car has proven itself time and time again. Even though the twin-turbo setup he tried last season didn’t quite click, going back to the ProCharger has clearly revived the Audi’s killer instinct — whether it's no prep, small tire, or big tire action. Bottom line: Daddy Dave is on a roll right now with the Audi. Whether he stays small tire for a while longer or makes the swap back to big tires for Speed Promotions, it’s going to be exciting to watch. No matter what, you know he’s going to come out swinging. We’ll be keeping a close eye on what Daddy Dave does next, so stay tuned right here to Street Outlaws Talks  for all the latest updates, race results, and behind-the-scenes action from the world of Street Outlaws!

Well folks, after a year off the circuit, Mike Bowman is officially back and ready to make some serious noise in the 2025 Speed Promotions season! And he’s not just coming back with the same old setup—he’s rolling out something fresh, bold, and a little experimental: the Hard Charger centrifugal supercharger, paired with a hefty dose of nitrous. Yeah, you heard that right. Photo by Paige Coughlin Racing  For those who might’ve missed it, Bowman sat out last season but is now committed to running the entire  2025 NPK season. And like several racers in the game right now, he’s making the move from a ProCharger setup to something new and still under development—Hard Charger, combined with Nitrous Outlet's finest. It’s a combo that’s got people talking, especially since more and more racers are stacking nitrous on top of centrifugal setups for that extra edge. But here's the thing—while it’s exciting to see innovation in the NPK ranks, the Hard Charger still has something to prove. At the World Series of Pro Mod, it didn’t quite hold its own against the tried-and-true ProCharger cars. Robin Roberts, for example, ripped off a 3.65 at 204 MPH with his ProCharger setup, while cars like Larry Larson’s Hard Charger entry posted a solid 3.69 at 200 MPH. Respectable? Absolutely. But when conditions are prime and you’re still a few MPH off the pace, you know there’s room to grow. Photo by Mike Bowman Racing Let’s be real—under great air and perfect prep, you’d expect more top-end power. And while Larson’s pass was impressive, it didn’t quite match what some of the ProCharger and screw-blown cars were laying down under similar conditions. That being said, Mike Bowman’s new combo has a wild card— nitrous.  And nitrous changes everything. It’s not just about boosting power on the big end—it can help spool quicker, smooth out the launch, and give centrifugal blowers a more consistent punch off the hit. That could be a game-changer on the sometimes tricky NPK surfaces, where track conditions vary week to week. Photo by Mike Bowman Racing One thing’s for sure—it’s going to be fun to watch this play out. If Bowman and the Hard Charger team have figured out how to get this combo dialed in, we might be looking at the next big thing in NPK. And if not? Well, you know this crowd doesn’t give up easy. These racers are always chasing the edge, pushing the limits, and hunting for hundredths. So let’s keep our eyes on Bowman this season. He’s got the experience, the drive, and now, a wild new setup that could shake things up big time. Whether the Hard Charger can go head-to-head with the ProCharger crew and come out on top is still up in the air—but we’ll be watching every step of the way. Stay locked in with Street Outlaws Talks  for more updates, test session recaps, and behind-the-scenes scoops as the 2025 season heats up. Let the boost wars begin!

Hey guys, if there's one thing we know for sure in the world of no prep racing, it's that chaos isn’t just expected—it’s guaranteed. And when it comes to last-minute thrashes, unexpected carnage, and straight-up hustle, few teams do it quite like Shawn Ellington and the Murder Nova crew. Their latest testing session ahead of the 2025 Speed Promotions Outlaw 32 turned from a simple shakedown into an all-out war against time, carbon fiber destruction, and mechanical mayhem. What started as a straightforward engine swap quickly became a real-world reminder that in no prep, nothing ever goes exactly as planned . Photo by Murder Nova The Plan: Swapping in a Proven Powerhouse The mission was clear: take the championship-winning Proline Hemi from the OG Murder Nova and drop it into the white Nova—formerly the MPK car. This isn’t just any engine either. It’s a piece of proven hardware that’s already secured a No Prep Kings title and gone 3.70s on a 275 radial. It's a beast. But as Shawn put it himself, “This motor’s won a championship, did a big wheelie, and it’s going even faster in the OG. But honestly, it probably needs to be freshened up.” With 23-24 gold rounds under its belt, the team wisely opted to swap rods and get some test hits in before diving into one of the toughest small tire races out there—where Ryan Martin and Kye Kelley have been laying it down lately. Disaster Strikes in Steel, Alabama Testing took place at Steel, Alabama, and both the OG and the white Nova hit the track. That’s when the chaos really kicked in. Photo by Murder Nova Let’s start with the white Nova. Fresh off a visit to Wrap Works where it returned to its signature white livery (after a brief blacked-out stint), the car looked clean and mean. But the Procharger setup had other plans. During one of the pulls, the carbon fiber door got completely shredded—not just damaged, but ripped apart  from air pressure alone. It was so bad that the inner structure was barely hanging on. With no time to waste, the crew got creative— really  creative. Thanks to Kidwell Racing, they patched it up using cooking sheets (yes, cooking sheets, not “cookie” sheets, as Shawn made sure to clarify with a laugh). Even with the busted door, the white Nova still threw down a personal best of 188 MPH on a 28-inch slick. That says a lot—not just about the motor, but the team’s tenacity. It also showed just how close to the edge they’re pushing this lightweight build. OG Murder Nova’s Front End Failure Not to be outdone by the door debacle, the OG Nova decided to get in on the drama too. After clocking a killer 0.920 60-foot, the front end of the car collapsed  under aero stress. The hood and supports just couldn’t hold up to the forces at play. They had to zip-tie the whole thing to the cage just to keep testing safely. Turns out, the team didn’t fully account for rollout differences with the new tires in the rush to prep for Outlaw 32. It’s one of those little oversights that becomes a big deal when you’re running on the edge. Photo by Murder Nova Throwing Nitrous into the Mix With Outlaw 32 allowing unlimited power adders, the team decided to take a big swing—adding nitrous to the Procharger setup. That’s not something you see every day in no prep. Nitrous Express came through with a dry nitrous system to help cool the air charge and pump up the power. Shawn and the crew joked about it feeling like a scene straight out of Fast & Furious , with everything going blurry when the button gets hit. But there’s real strategy behind it. As Shawn explained, “Every street car we’ve got with a Procharger has nitrous. The only downfall to boost is heat—and nitrous takes care of that.” Early test results were promising, but limited by the busted parts and tricky track conditions. The full potential of this new combo is still untapped. Carbon Fiber: Light but Fragile The biggest takeaway from this test session? Lightweight carbon fiber isn't always your friend. Yes, it shaves weight and makes for fast cars, but this test session proved that when you're pushing serious power, it can become a weak link. The team’s already got Blake Housley at Mayberry Motorsports lined up to reinforce the carbon panels, striking that delicate balance between strength and weight. That alone could make or break their Outlaw 32 effort. All Eyes on Outlaw 32 The next test session is going to be absolutely critical. The team has to validate all the repairs, fine-tune the nitrous setup, and make sure both cars can hold up to the violent forces they’re unleashing. Meanwhile, the rest of the field isn’t slowing down. Ryan Martin’s Fireball Camaro and Kye Kelley’s Shockwave are also evolving, experimenting with their own wild combos. With no rules on power adders, fans are about to see everything from twin-turbo Hemis to nitro-fed monsters. Can the Procharger Combo Still Compete? That’s the real question here. In an era dominated by turbos and screw blowers, can Shawn’s Procharger-nitrous combo still hang? The team thinks so—and they’re going all in to prove it. If they can sort out the durability issues and squeeze everything they can out of this setup, they’ve got a real shot. But if things keep breaking down, this might go from innovation to cautionary tale. Final Thoughts: War Is Coming The countdown to Outlaw 32 is on, and it’s shaping up to be one of the wildest events in no prep history. The Murder Nova team has never backed down from a challenge, and they’re not about to start now. Whether they come out on top or take a few more hard hits along the way, one thing is certain: they’ll go down swinging. And that’s what makes them one of the most exciting teams to watch in this game. Stay locked to Street Outlaws Talks for all the latest on Murder Nova’s push toward Outlaw 32, behind-the-scenes breakdowns, and the kind of racing drama you won’t find anywhere else.

Hey Street Outlaws Talks fans—buckle up, because this one’s going to be a wild ride. If you've been following the saga of Daddy Dave, then you know you're in for a story packed with speed, setbacks, and serious street cred. From dominating the streets of Oklahoma to surviving one of the most brutal crashes in the sport, Dave's journey isn’t just about cars—it’s about heart, hustle, and the relentless pursuit of greatness. Photo by Daddy Dave There was a time when the glow of headlights on Oklahoma streets signaled one thing: Daddy Dave was coming. With unmatched precision behind the wheel and nerves of steel, he carved out his legacy in the gritty world of underground racing. The street was his battleground, and for years, he was the undisputed king. But even kings stumble. In the middle of high-stakes competition, disaster struck—Dave's car spun out, ending in a catastrophic crash that sent shockwaves through the community. The physical injuries were severe, but the emotional and mental toll? Even heavier. It took seven long years of rehab, rebuilding, and resilience before he was back. And when he came back, he didn’t tiptoe—he came in roaring. Enter the Audi S5. Sleek, savage, and fitted with a ProCharger, this wasn’t just a comeback—it was a declaration. Dave was back, and he meant business. 2013 was the year of redemption. From Virginia Motorsports Park to Brainard International Raceway, Dave and his team reminded the world exactly why his name belongs at the top.

Early races were rough, with missed qualifications and plenty of doubters. So what did Dave do? What he always does—dig deep and go harder. That’s when the “Red Beast” was born. Built on a 565 cubic inch engine and boosted by a ProCharger, it was clear this wasn’t just a tune-up. It was a total overhaul for the No Prep Kings battlefield. And now? Daddy Dave is flipping the script once again. 2025 marks a new chapter—one that has everyone in the racing world talking. Dave’s taking his no prep monster Audi into the No Time 275 class. Yeah, you read that right. Let’s break it down. No Time 275 racing is a whole different beast. No clocks, no ETs shown—just pure, strategic, pressure-packed action. Racers are flying blind, relying on nothing but their skill, their gut, and the feel of the car. Add to that a smaller 275 drag radial tire that demands laser-sharp tuning and razor-edge control, and you’ve got one of the most challenging formats in the game. Photo by Daddy Dave So why is Daddy Dave making this move? Simple: Because he’s not done pushing limits. The No Time 275 class is stacked with top-tier talent, massive money races, and some of the most exciting matchups in modern drag racing. For Dave, it's not just about the title—it’s about testing himself in new ways, evolving, and proving that he can dominate on any track, with any tire. It’s a risk, no doubt. His Audi was built for the no prep game, with big tires and big power. Shifting to 275s means adjusting everything—power delivery, suspension, tuning, even driving style. But let’s be honest—if there’s anyone who thrives on challenge, it’s Dave. And remember, this isn’t his first time dancing in the dark. Years ago, he ran Goliath on radials and did some serious damage in no time events. The man knows what he’s doing. So, is this a strategic masterstroke or a gamble that could backfire? At Street Outlaws Talks, we see it as both. It’s bold. It’s gutsy. And it’s exactly why fans can’t get enough of Daddy Dave. He’s not here to play it safe—he’s here to race, to win, and to shake up every class he enters. What’s next? Well, that’s the million-dollar question. Will the Red Beast dominate the No Time 275 scene? Or will this new chapter test Dave in ways we haven’t seen before? Either way, one thing’s for sure—this story is far from over. Drop your thoughts in the comments. Do you think Daddy Dave will crush the 275 class? Or is this the beginning of a brand-new rivalry? We want to hear from you.

Well, well—looks like we’ve got some shakeups happening in the world of boosted power on the streets. If you’ve been following the latest buzz, you might’ve caught Sean Ellington (aka Murder Nova) putting in some test hits with a ProCharger-144 setup on his 187 Customs YouTube channel. Naturally, that got us thinking: is this bigger blower about to become the new norm in the Street Outlaws No Prep Kings scene? Photo by Murder Nova The Return of the 144 ProCharger Now, to be clear—the 144 isn’t brand  new. Ryan Martin actually bolted one on back in 2022 for a few races, back when the rulebook wasn’t quite set in stone regarding how big you could go. Fast forward to today, and Ryan’s back at it again with the 144, and it looks like a good chunk of the ProCharger crowd may be following suit. So, what’s the big deal with this thing? Power vs. Practicality According to Sean’s own words during his test session, the 144 does  make more power compared to the 140—on paper, at least. But it’s not just a simple upgrade. That extra punch comes with a tradeoff: it takes significantly more power to spin the 144, and that means more strain on the motor and more heat in the intake charge. Photo by Nate Sayler Racing And heat is the enemy when you're trying to make clean, repeatable passes. Sean even mentioned that he hasn’t gone quicker with the 144 yet compared to what he was running with the 140. That’s telling. Sure, the 144 makes more peak power, but if it’s harder to drive and less efficient, is it really worth it? The Spray Factor One thing that keeps coming up is how racers are managing heat. A lot of ProCharger setups are getting front-end nitrous sprays to help cool down that intake air. That’s a smart move, especially with how hot these big blowers can get. With that in mind, some racers might decide to stick with the 140 and just spray it to compensate, especially since the 140 is known to be a bit more efficient overall. It’s that age-old balance: make more horsepower or make smarter horsepower? Photo by Stat Guy Real-World Comparisons Let’s not forget that moment from the end of NPK Season 5—Ryan Martin (running the 144) lines up against Jim Howe, both on 36” tires. Jim’s setup was running at 98% overdrive, and guess what? He pulled away from Ryan. That says a lot. Also worth noting: screw blower cars are now running unlimited overdrive, which adds a whole new variable to the equation. But even with that freedom, the track still plays a huge role in what combo works best. So What’s the Verdict? Honestly, it’s too early to tell whether the 144 is a guaranteed win. Yes, it offers more horsepower potential, but it comes with its own set of challenges—more load, more heat, and maybe not as much efficiency. Racers are still dialing it in, and it might take a little more track time to really see who benefits and who doesn’t. At the end of the day, it’s another chapter in the never-ending quest for speed, power, and consistency. And you already know we’ll be here at Street Outlaws Talks  keeping an eye on every run, every tune-up, and every new combo that hits the surface.
