Josh Hart drove the Burnyzz Speed Shop/Speedmaster Top Fuel dragster to victory at the 57th annual Amalie Motor Oil NHRA Gatornationals on March 8, 2026 — winning in his first race with John Force Racing, defeating reigning world champion Doug Kalitta, and setting a new Gainesville Raceway track speed record.

Speedmaster has entered a multi-year partnership with John Force Racing as co-primary sponsor of Josh Hart's NHRA Top Fuel dragster, with associate sponsorship across all three Funny Car entries for the 2026 season.

At SEMA 2024, Jason Kencevski sat down with Brian Lohnes and Tony Pedregon at the NHRA booth to discuss Speedmaster's six new product awards, the strategy behind serving niche markets, and the resurgence of classic engine builds.

Speedmaster sponsored the second annual Sportsman Racer Appreciation Dinner at the 2024 Toyota NHRA U.S. Nationals, contributing a Small Block Chevy 6/71 Blower Kit as one of the event's top raffle prizes to nearly 900 attendees.

Jasmine Nelson received the most peer votes to earn Speedmaster's 2023 Employee of the Year award, recognised for her leadership of the Micro Reseller Program and customer experience operations.

Speedmaster has entered a presenting sponsorship with the NHRA Insider Podcast, positioning the brand within drag racing's core media platform alongside event activations at select NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series events.

Speedmaster Warehouse Leader Mike Skeels has been selected for SEMA's 2021 35 Under 35 list, following seven years of scaling warehouse operations from 5,000 to 75,000 square feet and building a team that continues to grow.

At the 2019 Power Retail All Star Bash in Melbourne, Speedmaster was named one of the top 100 global online retailers for the fourth consecutive year - and nominated for Top Cross Border Online Retailer.

From CNC-machined billet blower manifolds to wireless wiring harnesses, here are 21 products that stood out across the SEMA 2017 show floor - including two Speedmaster entries.

A look back at the milestones that defined Speedmaster's 2017 - from a ninth SEMA Global Media Award to the introduction of El Rayo, the Daytona Blackbird, and the Speedmaster Tools app.

Speedmaster Tools brings compression ratio, rod-stroke ratio, gear ratio, carburetor sizing, and forced induction calculations into a single free app - reducing the guesswork in build planning.

The Speedmaster Tools application puts essential performance calculations in your pocket. Available on the App Store and Google Play, it brings engineering utility to the shop floor and the garage.

A controlled dyno comparison of a cam-only LS3 and a built 427 LSX tests a foundational boost principle: the stronger the naturally aspirated baseline, the more power you make under pressure.

Using a junkyard 5.0L Ford topped with Trick Flow 11R heads and a Speedmaster Eliminator dual-plane intake, Richard Holdener tested 1-inch open and 4-hole carb spacers from Wilson Manifolds - measuring where each design adds power and where it trades torque.

Running a 331 Ford stroker to 761 hp on a factory 5.0L block revealed a critical lesson: boost is a multiplier, not a solution. Building normally aspirated power first delivers more output at lower, safer boost levels.

On a 331 Ford stroker equipped with Speedmaster forged internals and a COMP cam, swapping from stock E7TE iron heads to Edelbrock Performer RPM aluminum heads delivered an 85 hp gain. The results reinforce why the order of modifications matters.

A modified 4.8L LS equipped with Speedmaster rods, JE forged pistons, and a Vortech Ti supercharger produced 799 hp at 15.8 psi, nearly doubling the 438 hp naturally aspirated baseline. The results demonstrate the value of building NA power before adding boost.

The Speedmaster Side Draft EFI System for the Chevy LS3 combines individual throttle body design with electronic fuel injection, producing 546 HP and 520 ft-lbs of torque. The system earned a 2015 SEMA Award for its engineering and design.
