X275 WORLD RECORD! 🔥

Davey Hull reset the X275 world record with a 4.02 @ 178 mph at Battle of Thrones at US 60 Dragway!

What a huge weekend for our customers!

Congratulations to Davey Hull and Hull Racing on becoming the new X275 world record holders in Davey’s Bennett-powered Mustang. We are honored to be a part of this program and proud to see the hard work pay off at this level.

“Seems like yesterday we powered the first car to break the 4.40 barrier in X275 and now, here we are at 4.02. That speaks volumes about the evolution of this class, but more importantly, it’s a testament to the hard work behind our engine development, the advancements from our vendor partners, and the drive and commitment of our customer teams.” -John Kolivas

Davey’s 4.02 put him in the #1 qualifying spot, with several more Bennett-powered entries right behind him:

#3 Ian Hill -4.06 @ 176 mph
#4 Stephen Barnett/Terry Ryan Racing 4.07 @ 175 mph
#9 Alan Felts -4.18 @ 172 mph

Notably Ian Hill held the record for a short time with his 4.06 blast made prior to Davey's run!

Davey went on to finish runner-up in X275.

These cars represent four different Bennett turbocharged engine combinations:

• 400X with SC2 heads
• 400X with SC1 heads
• 400U with Bennett TFS Hi Port 285RX heads
• 500X with SC2 heads

In Ultra Street, Joel Greathouse piloted the Hull Racing entry to the #2 qualifying spot with a 4.39 @ 161 mph. Joe Glockner followed at #5 with a new personal best of 4.40 @ 161 mph, with both cars running turbocharged versions of our 400U engine program.

Shawn Pevlor also qualified #8 in the Bennett/KBX shop car with a 4.43 in the nitrous 450U-powered entry going an unbelievable class record .993 60 ft time!

Greathouse and Glockner both advanced to the semifinals, with each fighting through transbrake gremlins.

Congratulations to all of our customers, teams, tuners, and everyone involved. Thank you for trusting Bennett power to be part of your programs.

Since 2013, we have put countless hours into our X275 and Ultra Street engine programs. The success of these combinations comes from a lot of hard work, a lot of data, and strong support from customers with top-level programs and tuners. We recognize and appreciate every bit of that effort.

The data we gather from our turbo, nitrous, and supercharged combinations is applied across all of our engine programs. Whether you need a new build, want to reconfigure your current engine, or need parts to improve your program, we are here to help.

And it does not stop with engines. Through our KBX side, we offer EFI, power adders, converters, and tuning support, making Bennett-KBX a single-source solution to help put you in the winner’s circle!

Let us help you reach your goals, whether on a national or local level we are here to help!

Bennett/KBX’s new WHITE shop car lays down a 4.43 at the Bama Outlaws race with our 450U nitrous engine with a plate system 💥

Bennett Racing Engines & KBX earlier this year debuted the new “WHITE” shop car in Ultra Street. Like our previous “GREEN” car, this platform is dedicated to real-world track testing of our engine designs and components, allowing us to deliver a truly dialed-in TOTAL PACKAGE for our customers, built to perform and compete right out of the gate.

We kicked things off with one of our proven 450U engine combinations:
• Dart Iron Eagle block
• 4.25 stroke Callies Magnum crankshaft
• Callies Enforcer billet rods + Diamond Pistons
• Bennett custom 55mm camshaft
• Jesel .905 tie-bar lifters
• Jesel belt drive
• Stef’s 2-piece oil pan (exclusive design)

Up top:
• BENNETT TFS 285RX cylinder heads
• Jesel rocker system
• Cast intake with a Nitrous Express plate system

“We are evolving the 450U nitrous combination. The data we’re gathering here will carry into all of our nitrous engine programs. The focus is simple-handle more nitrous, make more power, and live round after round. So far, the results are promising.

Our GREEN shop car helped us build strong nitrous packages for customers. With nitrous still a major part of what we do, it was time to push development even further.

We changed nearly everything: engine design, header design, gearing, transmission, and nitrous system. We chased our tails on this setup for a couple of months. We finally got some fine tuning ironed out and went 4.43 at Bama Outlaws. The next passes were on pace to be quicker if not for a wheelstand. Goal is high 4.30s next race.” – John Kolivas

We partnered with many of a core vendors on this car and cannot say enough for the help we received from these sponsors! Huge thanks to the partners who helped make this program possible:

Callies Performance Products
Trick Flow Specialties
Jesel Valvetrain Innovation
Diamond Pistons
Nitrous Express
RPM Transmissions
ProTorque

If you’ve got a small block Ford nitrous combo, we’re ready to help! Whether it’s a new build, reconfigure of your current engine, parts, or converter selection.

From mid-5 second weekend cars to low-4 second class or no-time setups-we’ve got you covered with PROVEN COMBINATIONS!

Big congratulations to several standout performers from the Bama Outlaws Ultra Street class this weekend.

Joe Glockner qualified No. 3 with a 4.42 and a new personal best in his Bennett-powered Camaro, featuring our 400U turbo engine platform.

Joel Greathouse, driving the Hull Racing Mustang with our turbo 400U platform, qualified No. 4 with a 4.43 and came up just short in a hard-fought semifinal round against eventual race winner Ronnie Rhodes.

Congratulations to the Rhodes team on a great victory.

Shawn Pevlor qualified No. 5 in the new Bennett Racing Engines/KBX white shop car, laying down a strong 4.43 with our 450U nitrous engine with a plate system.

Rodney Ragen qualified No. 8 with a 4.45 in his turbocharged Mustang powered by our 400U engine platform.

And finally, Troy Perez Jr. rounded out the group with a 4.49 in his Mustang, formerly our green shop car powered by our 400U turbo engine.

Congratulations to everyone on a great weekend of performances. It was especially good to see Joe Glockner come out and put a strong number on the board in the Ford-powered Camaro.

We will have more to share soon on our white shop car in a separate post, including the full combination, our goals for the program, and recognition of all the great sponsors involved.
