KC Maxx is using compressed air super charging
Pretty wild for Ryan to do R&D and make changes while competitively racing.
If one of us bumps into him soon, ask him if he thinks his combo works better with more cubes, it's something I've been wondering about. I don't know the cubes of his big block.

I think its safe to say Ryan knows his car very, very well.

I believe he has said he only uses the big block when he thinks he needs the extra power. For example at the 75,000 to win race where he lost to larson when all the big boys were going to be there and the track was actually prepped so people were going to be able to put down all the power.
Save wear and tear on the big block to only use it when it is needed.

Yup only gets X amount of runs on the alum rods in the BBC. It has a lot quicker 330 times. If the track won’t take the “fast” 330 times he runs the smaller/slower motor w steel rods.
We had it on a 540 big block chevy when we tested it.

When you tested it was it the same exact setup as what Ryan has or do you notice some improvements/additions that were made to the system since when you tested it?
Also, curious what you did or did not like about this system.

Looks like Ryan won another $10,000 small tire event last night. He is killing it. I wonder if he keeps winning all these events they might ban CAS from small tire LOL.

Verdad Gallardo Everything looks the same parts wise. I am assuming only difference now is they control everything through the engine ecm. When I tested it I was tuning the engine and they had another computer controlling the air system. They system works, picture a turbo car that acts like a nitrous car. The biggest down side is dealing with the tanks and having to refill after each run.

Anything on 28’s
True street
Daily driver
Lil gangstas
big tire
Those classes pretty much cover everything as far as no prep so everyone has a class they fit into. Individual rules in some classes may be debatable but I haven’t read much into them.
when you are in anything on 28’s then tire size is the only limit and everything goes so I doubt anyone will complain about the type of power adder.
Ryan is a BEAST!! 5x War in the Woods winner now
The dude travels all over and just crushes it, I’m beyond impressed. I don’t see how anyone could be a no prep fan and hate on him…unless you had to race him every weekend lmao

This is also why nearly everyone in no prep tries to pretend to be the low budget guy doing this all alone with no help when in reality almost everyone winning has a lot of money in not only the car, but also the rig to get to the races. Also factor in how many thousands it costs to race a weekend. Time off work, cost of toter home, motel, bed and bath, etc. fuel, tires, upkeep. Probably 5g plus just to race a weekend out of state. I'm sure some of those racers at war in the woods camped in tents though which would make it harder.

Absolutely and shares more than most in the no time world.
It’s a lot of cash and hard work no matter how you go about it. His previous gear driven Procharger big block combo was probably the most expensive. I’m guessing those gear drives are over 5g alone and the big head units are probably 7g or more alone.
He has also earned a lot of support from companies through his hard work as well so I’d imagine he gets some free or discounted parts at this point.
