AGRO XB Lights up the Summernats pad during Burnout Masters Qualifying.
UCSMOKE is one of the most recognised Burnout Cars in the country and Steven Loader is no stranger to the podium with his insane wheelwork and disregard for mechanical sympathy from his Blown Big Block HT.
Summernats seems to be one event that alludes Steven with Fires or Mechanical gremlins. After making the Burnout Final Steven started like he was on a mission, but the car seemed to veer towards the wall and the result was a solid impact with the concrete.
Fair to say that after the wall hit Steve decided to punish the Big Block Chev with revs that shouldn’t be possible.
Good news is Steve has already pulled the car down and his Panel & Paint team are well on their way to fixing the damage as seem in the photos at the end of the video.
Matt James attempts to defend his Burnout Masters Title from last year but has a HUGE Tyre Fire during Qualifying in his Blown Big Block Ute “UNWANTED”.
Chris Orchard (aka Ballistic) invited me along to Active Automotive as they test & tune his awesome Blown Injected VL Calais. With the crew chasing an electrical gremlin since the freshen up this was an opportunity to get the car sorted before it goes on the truck to Summernats as Chris has qualified for the Burnout Masters after placing 2nd in the Burnout Championship at last years event.
With the car undergoing a freshen up recently and debuting at West Coast Nats, it’s been a busy few months for the team at Kustom Panel & Paint who completed the full re-spray and colour change. Along with Malaga Motor Trimmers who have provided a brand new custom interior for the car.
But the main purpose of today’s video is the ongoing testing of the brand new Dry-Sumped 360 Cube LS Engine built by Active Automotive, with some initial testing completed at West Coast Nats followed by a last minute trip to Narrogin Revheads to sort out the tune the crew have installed a new MSD in the car which should be on the dyno in the next 24 – 48 hours, stayed tuned we’ll have some footage of this weapon screaming on the Dyno.
Chris would like to thank the following businesses for their ongoing support:
– Active Automotive
– Kustom Panel & Panel
– Tyre Right Geraldton
– Diamond Detailing
– Static Whitewalling
– Explicit Motorsport

Daniel West has a crack at the Entry road at Burnout Boss but things don’t go according to plan with the ED Falcon sideswiping the wall on his re-entry.
West Coast Nats is set to rock Barbagello Raceway on the 2nd & 3rd of November. With heaps of track cruising, Powerskids, Burnouts and the popular Tip-In competition you can be certain there will be non-stop action for the 2 day event.. Check out the facebook page for more details:

We check out Deerk’s awesome XE Fairmont Ghia “DUTCHN” as it gets tuned and put through a few power runs on the Tune Corp Hub Dyno.
The car has just undergone a new engine build at Prowest High Performance starting with a Dart Windsor Block, Stroker Crank out to 400 Cubes, Steel rods, Forged pistons, Solid Roller Camshaft, Ported CHI Aluminium Heads and a 950cfm carby all running through a C4 and 9 Inch Diff.
After last weeks effort on the dyno where a Pinion Bearing failed, the diff was removed and completely rebuilt. Check out the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h910HyEifyM
Early runs on the dyno were already showing 500rwhp, but with some carby tweaks and a little more timing the team finished with a very respectable 577rwhp out of a pump fuel 400 cube small block. Perfect for a weekend cruise or a good belting at an event.
Stay tuned for more feature videos over the coming weeks.
Thanks to Prowest High Performance & Tunecorp.
