Before social media and YouTube. We actually had to figure stuff out in our own through trial and error. Been doing this for 34 years now and without @protorque it would have been that much harder. Make sure to give them a follow and check them out!

Congratulations to Vinny Ten and the entire VTR Racing team on another big win 2026 FORCED INDUCTION PRO CLASS in Epping NH !!
VINNY IS THE WORLDS FASTEST NISSAN 350 Z . 🏆
Relationships like this are a huge part of ProTorque’s history.
Our connection with Vinny goes all the way back to the early days of import drag racing — NOPI, IDRC, NHRA Sport Compact, and the record-setting Supra era that helped shape an entire generation of turbo racing.
Those years at the track working alongside racers and teams like Vinny’s played a major role in the development philosophy that still drives ProTorque today.
Real-world testing.
Real-world feedback.
Real racers.
Real results.
Long before “bolt-on combinations” and internet experts became the norm, these teams were out there helping push the limits of turbocharged automatic performance one pass at a time.
Seeing Vinny still out there competing and winning all these years later is something we have a tremendous amount of respect for.
Congratulations again from all of us at ProTorque. 👊

Sometimes the smallest changes make the biggest difference.
Will Lee and the team at English Racing came to us looking to further refine the converter side of their MK5 Supra program and see if there was more left in the combination.
After evaluating the setup and making a converter change to the PROTORQUE MX8 program…
the car went from 8.20s to 7.90s almost immediately. 👀
That’s a massive jump at this level.
This isn’t about throwing random parts at a car. It’s about understanding how the converter, turbo combination, engine package, weight, gearing, and power curve all work together as a complete system.
The combo is serious:
🔥 English Racing built & tuned
🔥 PROTORQUE MX8 converter
🔥 Extreme Turbo Systems turbo kit
🔥 PTE 73.9 turbo
🔥 Titan 3.2L long block
🔥 GSC valvetrain & cam package
🔥 MoTeC M1 ECU + TurboLamik TCU
And honestly… we still believe there’s a lot left in it.
As we continue refining the setup and get this thing into better track conditions, we know there’s more performance on the table.
That’s the part people don’t always see — the fastest programs are rarely one magic hit.
They’re built through data, testing, refinement, and understanding how to make the entire package work together efficiently.
Congrats again to Will Lee and the entire English Racing crew.
Excited to see where this one goes next. 👊

2JZ + 8HP70 testing launch control RPM speed with the new @protorque stall converter installed.
The car has completely transformed into a monster, stay tuned, more videos to come.
For everyone always asking about the 8HP swap:
Big thanks Andrew from @8speed.au for supplying legitimately everything needed for the conversion.
Also huge thanks to @domiworks.engineering for producing quality products and the GS300/Aristo swap kit
The entire setup is controlled by @canformance which has made integrating and running the 8HP70 an absolute dream.
Massive thank you to @protorque for building an incredibly solid converter for the car. Their service and knowledge are second to none.
This is an AI generated video created to simulate testing the converter launch capabilities.
Any closed road testing shown was definitely performed professionally in Mexico 🇲🇽 #8HP70 #aristo #2jz #toyota #supra
🔥 The bar just got raised for the F90 platform.
Huge congratulations to Miami Engines on officially putting their name at the top of the BMW world with the World’s Fastest F90 BMW M5 Comp — putting down an insane 1302 AWHP.
🏆 8.47 @ 167 MPH
🏆 3.4 sec 60–130 MPH
🏆 1.87 sec 0–60 MPH
🏆 1302 AWHP
That is absolutely flying for a full-weight luxury sedan platform.
What makes this one even better is seeing a true BMW-specialized shop take the platform this far through real engineering, real testing, and a combination built around durability AND performance. No hype. No internet smoke. Just results backed up by numbers.
Their F90 is equipped with our MX8 Modular Converter System, developed specifically for modern high-performance transmission platforms where consistency, efficiency, and adaptability actually matter.
This is exactly why we built the MX8 program the way we did:
✔️ Modular architecture
✔️ Tunable stator combinations
✔️ Serious horsepower capability
✔️ Real-world repeatability
The market is starting to separate the difference between “assembled parts” and properly engineered combinations. The clocks don’t lie.
Big respect to the entire crew at Miami Engines.
The BMW world is officially on notice. 👊🔥
What makes an ICON?
It’s not one pass.
It’s not one win.
It’s not one weekend.
It’s years of work.
Different classes.
Different tires.
Different rules.
Showing up… adapting… and performing—every time.
🧬 THE BUILD
From drag-and-drive to small tire…
to Limited Drag Radial…
This program has competed across multiple disciplines, under different conditions, and against the best in each category.
That doesn’t happen by accident.
🏆 THE RESULTS
Major wins across the biggest stages in the sport:
TX2K
Sick Week
World Cup Finals
FL2K
YellowBullet
And now—
Limited Drag Radial wins,
a world record,
and a championship run underway.
🚀 THE PERFORMANCE
3.762 @ 204 MPH
200+ MPH in the 1/8
6-second drag-and-drive capability
5-second quarter-mile performance
🧠 THE REALITY
At this level, things change.
Rules evolve.
Competition adapts.
The bar keeps moving.
That’s part of racing.
⚖️ WHAT DOESN’T CHANGE
The work.
The commitment.
The pursuit of getting better—no matter the platform, the class, or the rule set.
🏁 FINAL
Icons aren’t defined by one moment.
They’re defined by the ability to evolve—and continue to perform.
At ProTorque, that’s what we support.
No matter the class.
No matter the combination.
No matter the rules.
We’re here to help build the programs, the teams, and the dreams that push this sport forward.
Built for anything.
Proven in everything.

We’re proud to support NOPI and the racers who make this sport what it is.
ProTorque is officially a Contingency Sponsor of the NOPI 2026 NDRA Championship Series, backing competitors across multiple classes who are out there doing it the right way—building real programs and pushing performance forward.
And it all kicks off in a big way…
This weekend at Virginia Motorsports Park.
If you’re there, you already know what it is—
serious competition, serious racers, and no shortcuts.
We’re looking forward to supporting the field all season long and seeing who steps up.
Built for anything. Proven in everything.
**3.76 @ 204 MPH. LDR World Record. AND the win IN Alabama**
Let’s be clear… this didn’t just happen.
Not long ago, this same program rolled into its first LDR race…
As Brett says "3.90's breaking parts, and getting laughed at."
Since then?
👉 Winning **TX2K**
👉 Dominating **Sick Week** (6-second averages, 230+ MPH)
👉 Resetting **drag-and-drive records**
👉 Pushing a factory-based combo into territory most won’t even attempt
And now…
**3.762 @ 204.35 MPH**
**Limited Drag Radial WORLD RECORD**
**Event WIN**
**Points leader**
That’s not a good pass.
That’s a program that went to work—every single day—and never let off.
From breaking parts…
To fixing them overnight…
To taking weight penalties and still showing up…
**This is what relentless looks like.**
Now the same combo that got laughed at is suddenly “unfair.”
Funny how that works.
**Respect to Brett LaSala, the Motion Raceworks team,
Job Spetter on the keyboard,
Joe Irwin & Fast Forward Race Engines,
and everyone behind this program.**
They didn’t ask for permission.
They just outworked everybody.
**#TeamProTorque #PerformanceThroughInnovation #WorldRecord #LDR #DragRacing**
No time. No clocks. No easy wins.
Just two brothers—Ev and Nick Bernardo—showing up and handling business.
Since bringing the car back out of hibernation, it’s been a straight run:
TS Motorsport Park — Win
US 13 — Win
VMP Lil Boost Shootout — Win
CVA Ice Breaker — Win
Different tracks. Same result.
And if you know no-time racing… you already know what that means.
No posts. No numbers.
Just pressure, reputation, and getting it done when it counts.
Respect to everyone in these fields—this isn’t easy racing.
But this program? It’s been consistent.

STEVE ROMEO ....Picked up right where they left off.
Coming off a championship season, the LM Racing ’67 Chevelle rolled into the 2026 SCSO at Cecil County Dragway and came out swinging—with a new combo from ACE Racing Engines.
First full pass: 4.403
Then Jason Eberle went to work…
4.40s, back to back. The car was locked in.
Conditions lined up for something big. Took a shot at the .39—missed it early with a plug misfire.
No panic. No excuses.
Saturday morning—same air, same track, all in.
BOOM 💥
4.376 @ 159.64
➡️ New Personal Best
➡️ New Track Record
➡️ Qualified #1
➡️ Took the WIN 🏁
First race of the season. Statement made.
This team doesn’t rebuild momentum—they carry it.
Respect to everyone in the class pushing the level higher every round.
