Take a look at this, Daddy Dave Ditching Turbo’s & Going Back to Procharger for NPK!
The world of Street Outlaws is always full of surprises, and this season, Daddy Dave is making a significant change to his racing setup. As fans gear up for No Prep Kings (NPK) Season 7, Dave has announced that he will be ditching his twin turbo setup and returning to the ProCharger configuration that has brought him considerable success in the past.
The Turbo Experiment
When Daddy Dave debuted his twin turbo setup at the beginning of the season, it took many by surprise. Turbos are known for their ability to generate immense power, often outperforming other setups like screw blowers and ProChargers. In fact, turbocharged cars currently hold the door car records for both the eighth-mile and quarter-mile distances. However, these records were set on fully prepped tracks, which offer optimal conditions for turbo performance.
Challenges of No Prep Kings
No Prep Kings presents a unique challenge for racers. The tracks are not fully prepped, especially in the second half, making it difficult for turbo cars to apply their power effectively. Many racers, including Daddy Dave, have struggled with traction and control on these tracks. In a recent race in Ohio, numerous drivers experienced spinning issues on the latter part of the track, highlighting the difficulty turbo cars face in maintaining their power output and speed.
The ProCharger Advantage
ProChargers, while slightly less powerful than turbos, offer a more consistent performance on the unpredictable No Prep Kings tracks. They may not achieve the same top speeds in the eighth-mile, but their reliability in the 3:30 mark and ability to still exceed 200 mph make them a competitive choice. Daddy Dave has previously experienced success with a ProCharger setup, notably on his car Goliath. After trying the twin turbo setup for six races this season, he has decided that returning to ProCharger is the best strategic move.
Looking Ahead
Daddy Dave’s decision to switch back to ProCharger could be a game-changer for his performance this season. His previous stint with a ProCharger setup on No Prep Kings saw him become more competitive and achieve greater success. With the current rules and track conditions favoring setups that can handle the less-prepped surfaces, this change is expected to enhance his chances of winning.
While other racers, like Scott Taylor, continue to battle with their turbo setups, and a few others like Birdman remain in the turbo camp, Daddy Dave’s strategic move could set a trend. Even Jeff Lutz, once his Mustang is fixed, might reconsider his setup choice.
Conclusion
As No Prep Kings Season 7 unfolds, all eyes will be on Daddy Dave to see if his return to ProCharger pays off. Fans and fellow racers alike are eager to see him back in top form, competing fiercely and potentially clinching a win. With his experience and the ProCharger setup, Daddy Dave is poised for a strong comeback, and the excitement is palpable in the Street Outlaws community.
