Pro Modified racing is thriving across the United States, with new cars making their debut in every major series this season. Washington native Ryan Griffin is ready to throw his hat into the ring with his new Shelby Mustang; this twin-turbo beast will start out on a set of 10.5-inch slicks before it tackles some Pro Modified racing this year.

Griffin has spent several years racing in various heads-up events across the Northwest, and he decided it was time for a new ride. The Mustang Griffin commissioned to be built will definitely stand out at any event thanks to the Larry Jeffers Race Cars carbon composite body he selected to drape over the Jerry Haas chassis. Travis Moore at Toy Factory Fabrication took care of some final fabrication, modified the nose to fit the intake, and laid down a slick paint job on the Mustang.

But what’s the point of having a great-looking ride if it doesn’t have an outrageous amount of horsepower to match? Well, Griffin addressed that with a 526 cubic-inch AJPE billet block that’s rocking some serious hardware on the inside and outside. The rotating assembly features an Ohio Crankshaft, BME rods, and custom pistons. A set of Noonan cylinder heads and Hogans intake bring all of the air into the engine, while Atomizer injectors feeding it plenty of fuel.

An Emtron engine management system controls all the vital functions of the vehicle and will be tuned by Joe Opalowski from Hyperactive. Shawn Willis at Western Speed and Machine helped with assembling the engine and will fill the role of Car Chief.

Randy Parker fabricated the twin 88mm Bullseye turbo setup; instead of your traditional turbo bullhorns, Parker made a crazy-looking set of turbo zoomies. A Bruno/Lenco transmission and ProTorque torque converter have been selected to finish off the driveline. A set of Lamb struts will take care of the front suspension, while Menscer Motorsports shocks have been bolted to the rear end of the Mustang.

After some testing to get the car ready, Griffin will have plenty of options for racing the car, and since it is NHRA Pro Mod legal, don’t be surprised to see Griffin making some full 1/4-mile rips in the car at some point this season. One thing is for sure, npc matter where Griffin takes his Mustang, the car will garner plenty of attention.
