The team just unveiled their new livery which includes a riveted metal look with their mascot flying Snoopy on the roof and doors. Donovan is able to use Snoopy because he is part of the Schulz Family.<\/p>\n

Under the hood sits a 3.2 L S54 inline-six engine with upgraded internals built by VAC Motorsports. It previously ran a supercharger but now runs a Precision 6870 turbocharger which partially sticks though the hood. The engine produces 940 horsepower to the wheels on Ignite Racing Fuel 114 ethanol fuel.<\/p>\n

A 10 lb nitrous bottle sitting between the seats helps spool the turbo in low to mid-range rpm. The engine’s power increases by 200 hp between 2,500-4,000 rpm with a 100 shot of nitrous.<\/p>\n
