Having competed in the last four Drag Challenge events, Rodney’s Holden HQ Ute is a regular to chrome bumper street meets.
Unsurprisingly, a turbocharged 370 cubic inch LS sits in the bay, featuring forged internals and a cast iron block. Boost comes from a large 94mm Garrett GTX55 turbocharger with twin turbosmart gates.
We ran into Rodney at Quickbitz where the guys where touching up the tune in preparation to test at Swan Hill.
