This Chevy pickup, nicknamed the Violent Tyrant, was packing major heat in the form of a nitro-burning big-block Chevy. Jim Res (holding the Quick Detailer bottle) told the crowd it runs on gasoline most of the time. The 500-inch Dart block was machined by NAR Racing engines, and it makes 800 hp on gasoline and as much as 2,500 with a 30 percent mix of nitromethane. Longtime fuel Funny Car racer Dale Creasy Sr. did the nitro tune-up, and Jim has the full-time job of keeping all that AlumiFab sheetmetal work clean.
