It’s been a team effort when it comes to the engine in Adam’s GT. For the 2013 MIR race, he had his own engine in the car, but piston-ring sealing issues meant it was back out of the car after that race. He had to borrow a short-block from fellow Renegade racer and mentor Brian Mitchell; the borrowed short-block was in for the rest of 2013. When his own short-block is in the car, HD Performance & Parts’ David Powell handles the cylinder head work, MCRP’s Mike Curcio does the machine work, and Adam assembles it all at home. Of course, he relies on a Vortech V7 YSi-Trim supercharger for 32 pounds of boost, capable of propelling him down the quarter-mile at a touch over 8 seconds at 165 mph.
