5,000 HP Twin-Turbo 526 cid Hemi Engine

5,000 HP Twin-Turbo 526 cid Hemi Engine

Engine of the Week is presented by

There were more than a few cool-looking engine bays at the 2022 Builder’s Brawl this past summer, but none in our opinion topped that of Cory Clemens of Clemens Motorsports Unlimited LLC. His Pro275 drag car, nicknamed King of the Jungle II, is a Trans Am featuring a gray, black, gold and burgundy red paint job, and his engine bay houses a massive, twin-turbo, 526 cubic inch Hemi engine. It stood out, even amongst a crowd of other super-clean, super stout drag cars, so we had to know more about the engine and the builder/driver behind it.

As it turned out, Cory started building this car when he was just 16 years old. His family owns and operates Clemens Motorsports Unlimited LLC out of Osage Beach, MO. The shop has been around for over 30 years, doing everything from running professorial race teams to working on major marketing projects for performance businesses.

“All my life you could find me at the drag strip,” Cory Clemens says. “Whether that was watching my dad race his Pro Mod, to making laps in my high school car, or even helping out on some of the pro teams. I’ve driven everything from Jr. Dragsters to Pro Street cars and even Super Comp dragsters, and I don’t plan on stopping there.”

The 2022 Builder’s Brawl was held at World Wide Technology Raceway

Cory has aspirations of one day driving a Top Fuel dragster. His Pro275 Trans Am is a good stepping stone for sure. The car he had at the Builder’s Brawl was a four-year build.

“We debuted this car at PRI in 2019,” Clemens told us. “It’s a Pro275 car that we built for LDR (Limited Drag Radial), but we ended up getting bumped up. Currently, we’re doing more No Prep and No Time racing and that kind of thing.

“Pretty much anything you see on the car, I did it. It was a four-year project I did in high school. It involved a lot of tin work and bar bending. I learned how to weld and really got good at that. At our shop, I do a lot of roll cages for guys. I do a lot of sheet metal work and just help anywhere I can for customers. We also do some parts sales. I wired, plumbed and welded the car. If it was done, I did it. That’s what I love to do.”

The 526 cid Hemi engine features a billet Brad Anderson Enterprises block and cylinder heads, as well as a Bryant crankshaft, CP connecting rods, an LSM camshaft, Manton pushrods, Manton rockers, a Hogan’s sheet metal intake, custom valve covers, a Peterson oiling system, and twin 88mm Garrett turbos with TiAL wastegates.

“It’s got the best of the best that we could put in it,” Clemens says. “It’s billet everything. We did everything we could do to get an edge.”

Of course, helping the Hemi gain an edge are those sizable Garrett twin turbos, as well as ComSYNC EFI. According to Cory, he usually pumps about 50-lbs. of boost through them and starts a run somewhere in the 7-10-lb. range, depending on the track and application. All of that equates to a billet Hemi capable of making around 4,800-5,000 horsepower.

When Cory runs something like a Duck X Production race, he says the team shoots for a 3.80-4.00 pass. However, his expectations were a little different, he says, with the No Prep stuff.

“Here at Builder’s Brawl, we’re hoping to run 4.50-4.80,” he noted. “That’s what we’re kind of shooting for as our goal for the weekend. We’d be happy with that because this is one of our first No Prep races. If we can get anything under a 5.00 flat we’d be really stoked.”

This Pro275 Trans Am and its twin-turbo Hemi engine are definitely a killer combo, and we look forward to seeing many, many more years of Cory in the driver’s seat. Needless to say, we’re glad we stopped and found out a little bit more about Cory Clemens and his drag car. More photos below…

Is A “No Prep Kings” Legal Car What Pro Modified Should Have Been?

Is A “No Prep Kings” Legal Car What Pro Modified Should Have Been?

Previous 7 days, “Street Outlaws” star Daddy Dave Comstock disclosed his putting new Audi S5 at the SEMA Exhibit in Las Vegas, marking the most up-to-date in a line of unconventional vehicles remodeled into earth-course racing machinery for the extremely preferred “No Prep Kings” sequence. 

Due to the fact it is earliest days — and undoubtedly in the period of “No Prep Kings” — the franchise has taken care of a rigid typical by which its automobiles are held. Whilst very a great deal a max-exertion race car underneath, the target has been to keep the outward-appearing DNA of the unique motor vehicle, to make the cars and trucks identifiable and therefore relatable to the typical auto male or gal.

 

While there was tiny in the way of intent to make the earliest of Pro Modified cars and trucks look like serious autos, several of them in simple fact did. A speedy flip by means of photograph albums or outdated films on YouTube and you’ll locate Professional Modified cars in the early 1990s exhibiting wildly different degrees of modification — some were chopped, channeled, the quarter panels expanded for tire clearance, giant wings, and lengthy noses. But other people have been substantially much more in line with the Professional Stock automobiles of the era aesthetically, and help you save for the oversized rear wings they had, could possibly pass as a “No Prep Kings” motor vehicle nowadays.

But Professional Modified very quickly adopted operate in excess of sort in an exertion to drive the boundaries of a complete-bodied motor vehicle to the absolute restrict, and the rest is genuinely historical past. Extensive, narrow, and very low cars and trucks are lighter, more quickly, and faster they fit the biggest of tires without any modification or trip height problems and you can put the motor, drivetrain, and the pounds where it performs best. Contemporary-day Pro Modified vehicles are generally identifiable, and although they really do not get near the warmth as Funny Automobiles for their “blobby” appears to be, they are in truth a really liberal impersonation of an first motor vehicle.

“No Prep “Kings” automobiles have, in some ways, turned again the clock. Every vehicle is required to benefit from OEM manufacturing unit steel roof and quarter panels, which final results in a much a lot more inventory-showing concluded item than their Professional Modified counterpart. Wheelbase can only be altered in addition-or-minus 3 inches from stock, producing the longest of vehicles around the 115-116 inch wheelbase of a Professional Modified car, and the more popular human body variations a several inches shorter. 

Californian Mike Bowman can illustrate the visible discrepancies concerning a no-prep and Professional Modified car or truck potentially improved than anybody else — mainly because he owns both. Take note in the centre graphic, the pair of scaled-down Chevelle Pro Modified cars following to his OEM-showing up “No Prep Kings” entry. Photo credit history: Mike Bowman Racing

The “No Prep Kings” rules condition the human body just keep “an all round OEM factory fashion and external/outwardly physical appearance of 12 months, make, and design remaining represented.” Furthermore, the lightweight carbon-fiber entrance ends have to keep the same general manufacturing facility fashion and overall look, and not like Pro Modified and Professional Stock noses, this place in distinct would make a large difference in the in general visual appearance of a auto. Anything that falls outside the house the published or spirit of the guidelines has been ushered out the door by the regulations committee.

The most popular use of the large 36-inch rear slick, coupled with the generally restricted confines of manufacturing facility quarter panels, has designed some special distinctions amongst a no-prep automobile and Professional Modified, specifically a bit taller journey heights and a narrowed rearend stance with specified bodies.

That, coupled with the shorter wheelbase, the motor setback, the total bigger, fewer aerodynamic physique, and the bodyweight, signifies they do not travel or carry out really like a Professional Modified automobile. That reported, I would challenge any individual to look at one of just about every go down the exact same racetrack, with out the clocks on, and notify the difference. Reality is, no-prep cars are fast…faster than several informal enthusiasts think they are, and in my personal opinion, their pretty structure (nevermind the no-prep racing surface area) helps make them much more entertaining to watch.

Further than appearance, “No Prep Kings” has genuinely turn into the location of wide variety — in a way, bringing back the wide variety that Pro Modified pushed aside very long back.

The Cadillac CTS-V aspect by aspect: Dean Karns’ no-prep automobile (remaining) and John Stanley’s Pro Modified version.

The “No Prep Kings” Invitational and Futures fields, on any offered weekend, features just about every era of the Camaro, such as the usually-underrepresented second- and third-era cars of Jerry “Monza” Johnston and Kye Kelley respectively, the Cadillac’s of Dean Karns and Larry Larson, Justin Swanstrom’s Lexus RCF 350, Robin Roberts’ 1968 Pontiac Firebird, Stan Allen’s and Jerry Birds’ former Professional Stock Ford Probes, John Odom’s Nissan GTR, Kayla Morton’s S197 Ford Mustang, Chuck Seitsinger and Mike Murillo’s Fox overall body Mustangs, Manny Alvarez’s 2020 GT500, Jeff Lutz’s Pontiac GTO, Dominator’s 1967 Dodge Dart, the Nova’s of Shawn Ellington, Brandon James, Shawn Wilhoit, Larry Roach, James “Doc” Adore, and Tony McKinney, David Adkins’ C7 Corvette, Brad Eglian’s Chevy Beretta, Chuck Parker’s 1955 Chevy, Mike Bowman’s Chevelle, and the listing goes on.

These to start with-gens are not the similar…Pro Modified remaining, no-prep appropriate.

Of the 42 cars that attained points in the “No Prep Kings” invitational in 2022, nine were being 1967-69 Camaro’s, and 14 in all (33{49e09b23eae7466ccc7574c19ebb3019301c9a11d2999feff81a3526451546a5}) ended up a Camaro of any technology. Review that to an NHRA Pro Modified or a PDRA Pro Nitrous or Pro Boost subject, where’s it not uncommon for the initially- and sixth-generation Camaro to comprise 80-90 percent of the entries, and it’s simple to see the disparity in range among the two sorts of vehicles/venues.

What the producers and the competition of the “Street Outlaws” franchise have performed — with no adequate credit, I should add — is breathe character, relatability, and substantially-desired assortment again into supremely-rapidly doorslammer racing they’ve confirmed that vehicles can glimpse a whole ton a lot more like genuine automobiles and sacrifice almost very little in the way of general performance and on-observe amusement worth. By daring to be distinct, by keeping itself to a stringent standard, it has created a “brand” of race automobile, a rolling identification, all its own. And we dig it.
