The V8s of Formula Drift Part Two
The quest for 800 plus horsepower in Formula Drift is making guys look into engines that can do it reliably and many are choosing GM pushrod power plants to do it. Wrecked Magazine’s Joey Redmond and Scoggin-Dickey Parts Center takes a look into the V8s of Formula Drift.
This time, Joey visits with:

We’ve seen the LQ9 in Pat Goodin’s car, but this time with Matt Field and his supercharged effort. It is a vastly different and difficult engine for Matt this year, but he’s finally got it together and has been making improvements since Round 3 at Homestead Speedway.
