As stated by Jackson Stewart at Fontana Nissan Racing:

"Several times I have heard reference to our engine as a Cosworth. I would like to make sure credit is given to those that work so hard on our racing program. The engine is built in house by the staff here at Fontana Nissan Racing. We use Cosworth components in the engine, crankshaft, rods, pistons, bearings, and head gaskets. We appreciate the help we have received from Cosworth and truly believe that they build the best products available. The actual assembly of this engine is performed by Chris Schroeder here at the racing facility. Chris brings a wealth of engine knowledge to our program. Our program is fairly unique in that we build nearly everything for this car in house. This includes all chassis fabrication, all composite work including the full carbon fiber body, and all engine work and fabrication. Please visit the Fontana Nissan Racing website for details on our program and the people involved. All of the products we build for this car and any work we perform is available to the racing public through Scott Vanderheide at Fontana Nissan."

Last I heard, we were pushing about 440whp N/A.

Wow! great job, great car. I really like seeing someone going the NA route instead of boost to reach higher HP levels, good luck to you guys!

well.... for road courses it makes sense.
it's easier to drive, it's easier on the transmission, less weight, less part = less chances of FAIL!

And this should've been the route I choose instead of boost.

Awesome Car Scott & Fontana Nissan Racing!!!
