In the engine bay they installed a built LSx V8 with a LSA supercharger producing 850 hp (634 kW) to the hubs. Behind that is a Turbo 400 three-speed automatic transmission sending power to a full-floating 9-inch rear end. Spot On Performance fabricated a custom rear suspension and chassis to help the supercharged power reach the ground.
