Back in the nitrous days.

Is just one solid build ever enough? For some it might be the only option, but for Todd Berry, the answer is an obvious and firm no, as it’s been recognized that Todd has a tough time not changing it up a bit from year to year. With an in-house CNC shop and a heavy backing from Proline Race Engines, we can’t blame him. Way back in 2005, Berry set up his car to run with stock suspension, and a nitrous-breathing Big block Ford, to the tune of 598 C.I. with 3 kits. While that was “good enough” for a little while, eventually Todd wiped that blue paint scheme right off for a sinister black shoot, and in the meantime, switched over to running twin turbos on the 598.

The car quickly became one of the most recognizable rides in the South with it’s turbo’s poking right through the hood. With Eric Dillard behind the wheel, the car was good for high 4’s in the 1/8th and breaking into the 6’s in the quarter on almost any given day but alas, Todd wanted just a little bit more out of his ‘Stang. Really tearing into the motor yet again, the Cubic inch was bumped up to 632, the turbo’s are now 90MM Precision Pro-Mod’s, the C heads were ditched for some Gen II Thor heads, and the most recent change, Todd CNC’d his very own custom billet intake manifold to get a little more air in this monster.

Even with the old cast intake, missing four races Eric Dillard still dominated the ORSCA Limited Street ranks in ’09, grabbing the championship title with ease. While they had plans of showing their strength at the ORTC February race, an intercooler malfunction set them back a few weeks. In order to prevent the same problem from reoccurring, Todd got to work on an all-billet unit, that’s guaranteed to stay rigid. Todd has certainly thought up some innovative ideas and put it all into this car, which is what made it surprising to see a recent for sale posting on RacingJunk. Yep, his very own proven Mustang is up for grabs, at $125,000. Whether it just be the ludicrous cost of racing catching up to him, or the desire to build something new, we don’t know, but as of now, the future for this Mustang is seemingly uncertain.
