Scottie Ray is a veteran No-Time racer who has been wheeling his Small Tire Mustang since 2010; this nitrous small block combo has been a menace snagging multiple win lights in the Carolina N/T Series. We had a chance to speak with Scottie after completing his recent conversion to Holley EFI to get more info on why he made the change and what he expects to gain from it.

Originally a carbureted setup, Scottie used another aftermarket engine management for a time. “I converted the car over to fuel injection about two years ago, I kept having trouble with it and it cost me a few races during the season.” He explained that after these upsets it was time to make a change and after speaking with fellow racers, he felt a Holley EFI system for his nitrous, fuel and timing control would be the best course of action. “I’m absolutely thrilled with the Holley stuff, our first outing set a personal best 60’ for us.” While they may not turn on the boards, you can be rest assured that this new 60’ made competitors sweat even more than usual. “We can definitely go faster-” Scottie tells us, and with a few upgrades planned in the near future he will be a real threat in the No Time Nitrous class.

We can’t give exact details but this car sports a large cubic inch Small Block Chevy, off-the-shelf cylinder heads and a fogger system that Scottie tunes himself. “I’m proud of our setup because it’s not a big budget deal and we can go fast. “ This is an even more impressive feat considering the wiring and a majority of the transformation has been completed by himself. 

As for Holley equipment, a Dominator ECU handles all of the fuel, spark and nitrous control through an MSD cam sync / crank trigger, Smart Coil COP conversion, eight (8) flow matched 160 lb/hr injectors and dual NTK oxygen sensors. A host of pressure transducers, EGT’s and other sensors allow him to keep track of what’s going on as the car screams down the 1/8th mile. We are grateful to have such loyal and proud customers and are looking forward to the coming season(s) as this looks to be a year of great success for him and his car.

Keep the candles lit Scottie!
