We first saw Casey Rance at American Outlaws Live, where he hauled home 10,000 reasons to love his single-turbo 408ci LS-powered Nissan 240SX. After moving his shop, SWG Performance, to Temple, Texas, Rance finally got back outside to run his 240sx at 2016 Outlaw Armageddon in Okahoma. Like we saw last spring, the 240SX was dialed in, and Rance’s reaction time nailed the win down more than once.
The final against the big-tire Blue Nightmare was a hotly contested one, as Rance pulls about as perfect of reaction time as you can with a flashlight start, or placed what may have been the luckiest bet of the race on when the starter was going to hit it. After sitting on the transbrake for over 10 seconds and not melting down, Rance kept it tidy and pulled a hard gap on Blue Nightmare, who spun before 60-foot.
Rance’s 240SX is a straightforward eighth-mile ladder-bar car, and that might just be some of its secret. A single 91mm precision turbo force-feeds a Texas Speed and Performance–built 408ci LS, featuring a Jarrett Faggart Racing camshaft with PRC 247cc cathedral-port cylinder heads, and everything is glued together by a Holley HP EFI system. Behind that is a Powerglide transmission with a PTC 9.5-inch converter, which spins a custom driveshaft ahead of a Ford 9-inch with a 3.20 gear.
