VA Bait ending the season off in style 🥳 1412whp / 1107wtq @ 72psi Setup: - BBR STG4 shortblock - BBR STGX heads - Precision 8385 NG - Strayed Fab Turbo Kit - 8x id2600s - Forged Fuels Ethanol - Some Nitrous (yes used whole pull) Beautiful Graph 📈 😍 Being in the PNW means our race season has come to an end, we did get a lot of track testing in this year but didn’t get to race as much as I wanted to, just solely to not enough time to break away from the daily work. This engine really owes me nothing, it’s a very underrated engine for what it’s been doing this season. Our basic off the shelf BBR STG 4 that we rate for 650whp. We raced it at 1100+whp all season, 20+ passes, 20 burnouts, 40+ launch controls, 3 money shifts seeing 12krpm, nitrous put through it and now making 1400whp + maxing out the boost controller. I was looking for a bit more power, car is on the rich side whole pull and still being in Ethanol. I was commanding another 6-8psi but the 4 port / gates were tapped. None the less I am still happy and to see the car do a full pull this time with a functions center diff built by @jonny_trans putting in work all season. He also assembled the @iagperformance ppg dogbox that has been working amazing for us this year! Back to the drawing board and keep pushing to always learn and grow this platform further. We already have some prototype parts and changes being made soon. 🥳 Note- for those wondering where the stage x is that made the 1415whp previously, we had some injector o ring issues on first outing that caused a cylinder to get leaned out and hurt. #baderbuilt #BBRtuned #moontune #VAbait #precisionturbo #strayedfabrication #outfrontmotorsports #iagperformance #kozmickmotorsports #jdmmuscle #torquesolutions

Head down, keep working and pushing for that goal you have always dreamed about. Never stop, never give up, and results will always appear. #TEAMBBR #baderbuilt #BBRtuned #dreamsdocometrue Video credit: @jared.bichler / @vasyn.apparel

VA Bait took the SUBARU STOCK MOTOR Record! Two record breaking passes back to back! 9.686 @ 148mph 9.684 @ 149mph Recently you saw us assemble this 100% factory Subaru longblock, that means: -OEM STI shortblock -OEM Head bolts -OEM Headgaskets -OEM W25 cylinder heads (SAVCS) Other mods include: -Motec M150 -IGNITE Red E90 -Strayed Motorsports & Fabrication Turbo Kit -Strayed 5” garrett intercooler -Precision 7685 next Gen / 1.28 -kozmick mechanical fuel pump kit -Aeromotive 5.0 FP -ID2600x4 (obviously overkill) -Process West Race Intake Manifold -IAG dual rail TGV housings -IAG AOS Comp -IAG oil pan Race kit -Exedy Triple Disc clutch -STOCK STi 6 speed transmission -IAG output shaft kit -STOCK OEM front axles -STOCK R180 rear differential -DSS 1000hp rear axles -DSS custom carbon driveshaft -Belak custom 15” wheels -M & H 26x8.0x15 slicks 1st Pass being worried about tossing a rod on on launch control I came out early and ended up cutting best 60ft I ever have in this car 1.38! Car went right instantly out of groove, but I brought it back into my line and we ran a 9.68 @ 144mph off the trailer! Reviewed datalog and I had pulled some power out to meet boost target. Car was on 44psi this pass (target 42psi) 2nd pass, I added the WG duty back into the car and moved the boost target to 50psi. Being a bit more confident of the car on LC as you can hear it’s nice and smooth to help keep engine together. I left a bit harder on this pass and it planted the car down to help it go straighter. 1.41 60ft this pass, you can hear it’s definitely hard to keep in power / get into power on 1st and 2nd gear but I managed to keep it in and get another record pass. Unfortunately an issue showed it self again (built motor last pass felt like clutch slipped) the car felt like it was slipping clutch, broken drivetrain slipping center diff, or diff controller not working. I short shifted 3rd and just rode out 4th on limiter at 9k pretty much while gear 🤣. The car has a bottom 9 and 155+ trap in it at the 53psi it’s currently at. Best part, NO FLUIDS pushed, coolant reservoir is dry, oil catch can is dry. #baderbuilt #BBRtuned #stockmotorking👑

PB with the GTR. Will need more sauce soon 😭 #gtr

Happy 1st Mother’s Day to my amazing wife, figured I’d make it one to remember! So here is her new BMW X3M Competition suv that should be easier to get Belak in an out of. These X3Ms are pretty difficult to source, especially in this Brooklyn grey / black competition spec, fully optioned w/ factory 21s and laser headlights. For those that don’t know what makes it special, it’s a G80 M3 in suv form. Thank you for all you do for our family! 💙 #baderbuilt #BBRtuned #x3mcompetition

New Belak wheel setup for the G80 🥳 Perfect time to do a photo shoot with my boy Belak and the wife. Dyno soon and excited for the race season with the new platform! #baderbuilt #BBRtuned #Belak #g80m3

Bryan’s beautiful low mile ( 40k ) 05 STI in for a much needed update on the build. New power: 591whp /482wtq @ 26psi E85 471whp /406wtq @ 24psi Pump 91 Setup: - piston / rod shortblock - stock heads - oldschool Perrin Rotated kit - GT35r OG / cast wheel - ID1700s - Walbro 525lph - Process west IM - IAG AOS I was impressed by the old gen 35r putting out some decent numbers. The new setup definitely helped with this, that is the max though with the single fuel pump. Before and After photos included! Been slacking on posts, if you’re interested. We do offer in house builds and tuning. Email: [email protected] #baderbuilt #BBRtuned

We have been waiting until Belak was here to announce so we could have everyone in one photo. We bought our first house! 🥳 The patience paid off, because we were able to buy our dream home as our first home! Finalized and moved in only a couple weeks prior to Belak coming, was definitely a bit stressful but thank you to some great friends for helping us get it all done within a day. Also big shoutout to the wife being 38 weeks pregnant and unpacking / setting up the house. 3 car garage was a must, it’s also a extended 3 car! , open layout with all the main bedrooms on the main floor, and to top it off it’s directly across from the neighborhood park, along with a walkway in the back of the home. Couldn’t be happier to be in this position and be able to provide for my family. #baderbuilt #BBRtuned

Welcoming Belak Bader to our family! Apologies for the delayed emails / responses as we have been in the hospital for a few days. Couldn’t be happier to have this next journey added to our life, being with my wife for 10 years now. We have obviously had the baby talks over the years, those that know me know I have pushed this out as I had some life goals to achieve first. We always knew we wanted a boy, and we were blessed to have a that dream come true. Thankfully everything has gone super smooth not only through the pregnancy, but the whole entire process went smooth and we had a healthy baby boy. Our other child, Tucker has been nothing short of amazing during this process. He has always knew the time was coming with laying his head on the belly, to the day finally coming and being the most gentle / loving companion to our new baby. He will forever protect and help take care of Belak. I’d say he’s helped prepare me for this 🤣, he is my child. Little racecar driver in the making! Thank you everyone for your patience and support over the years to make this the perfect position to be in to add to our family. To those that are familiar with the name, it is too no surprise as to why we choose it with it being of my favorites.

This is just the beginning 😮‍💨 y’all ain’t ready for what’s to come in a few months #fyp #bbrtuned #overtakeusa #importimageracing #fyp and special thank you to the man keeping this thing running perfect and never skipping a beat @_baderbuilt
