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. A few of these guys we’ve introduced to you before.

Pat Goodin in his LQ9 swapped 240SX and Charles Ng and his LS1 equipped Infiniti G37 for starters, but in this first video we’ll get to see Dennis Mertzanis and his LS7 powered Hyundai Genesis. The video dives a little deeper into the engines of these drivers where we haven’t yet.

For example, Dennis and Charles are both using the YS7 Vortech Supercharger, but Pat Goodin is using the Garrett Turbo GTX4502 turbocharger. They go into more and another video with more drivers will be coming soon. For now, enjoy part one.
