Default Midwest Chassis does it AGAIN...Nitrous to F1X Blower Update!

As most remember, my combo used to be a multi stage NOS X275 legal combo. Midwest Chassis completely re-did the car in 2012 with a whole slew of updates including carbon fiber interior, weight reduction and a 25.3 NHRA spec cage. We were looking to go a faster in 2014, and about a year ago we made the decision to step into a Procharged Combo. I spent last summer and fall aquiring parts for the build, and once race season was finished we started the transformation.

I sold everything in the driveline except for the block, heads, valve train and drysump system. Everything else is new... We upgraded to a Winberg billet CCW crankshaft, new GRP rods, Diamond pistons, Bullet Cam, M&M Racing Engines Mozez cast intake, Berry Motorsports 3 piece 5" Elbow and a 123mm Wilson TB. We also started with a whole new BS3 EFI system, new electrical system from RaceWire Solutions, new ATI converter and a new Coan Big Dog Glide with a custom gear set.

As previously done, Eric @ Midwest Chassis took care of all the mounting, piping, and welding/fabrication of anything needed.

Here is last years combo for a reference...




And now the fab work....

Looks awesome!! Haven ppl had issues with that blower? Still going COP or going to a dizzy? All I know is that crankshaft is almost to beautiful to install, berry elbow is killer, mozez heads look awesome,hell the valve covers look badass. Your car is always been a favorite so clean and beautiful!!! Eric at MWC FTW

Issues seem to be getting resolved...but if you wanna go fast you have to over spin it...and when you over spin there are possible chances of breaking them.

No need for a distributor....the BS3 "high output" coils will provide a hoter spark than the distributor stuff.

LOL....exactly!

If I need more than 2 I will just get an F1X-12 as its legal in all my local 275 series.

We already have 2 charge pipes made and done...one for std F1X and the F3 stuff (F1X-12 or F3A-121 etc)
