What do you think, This Car NEEDS A Diet? How Much Does Justin Swanstrom’s Pro Mod REALLY Weigh?
When it comes to Street Outlaws: No Prep Kings, Justin Swanstrom is always in the spotlight—and this time, it’s his Pro Mod Camaro that’s stealing the show. In his latest update, Justin revealed that his car “NEEDS A DIET,” breaking down how much it actually weighs while also firing it up with a new smaller pulley for added boost.
⚖️ How Much Does Justin’s Pro Mod Weigh?
Weight is everything in drag racing. While fans often see the horsepower numbers, the truth is that weight-to-power ratio wins races. In the video, Justin goes into detail about his Pro Mod’s scale numbers, showing the raw weight and hinting at where he might shave pounds to gain that crucial edge on race day.
Most Pro Mods in competition weigh between 2,500–2,700 pounds with driver included, but every extra pound matters when running against the fastest names in No Prep Kings.
🔧 Smaller Pulley = More Boost
Alongside the weight talk, Justin and his crew bolted on a smaller blower pulley, a key move in Pro Mod tuning. By doing this, the supercharger spins faster, creating more boost and ultimately giving the engine more horsepower.
But higher boost also means more strain on parts, making reliability just as important as raw power. For a driver like Justin, the tradeoff is always about finding that sweet spot where speed meets consistency.
🔥 Firing Up the Beast
The highlight of the video came when Justin fired up the Pro Mod with the new setup. Fans got a taste of the thunderous roar that makes this car one of the most exciting machines in the series. The sound alone was enough to remind everyone why Swanstrom remains a fan favorite—big horsepower, big personality, and no fear of pushing limits.
🏆 What This Means for No Prep Kings
Justin’s willingness to reveal behind-the-scenes changes shows just how dedicated he is to chasing wins. With a leaner Pro Mod and more boost under the hood, expect him to be even more dangerous in upcoming No Prep Kings races.
For fans, it’s a reminder that drag racing isn’t just about driving—it’s about constant innovation, adjustment, and risk-taking.
