Who's behind it
Racer, not a parts-changerBuilt by a racer
We don't just build it.
We race it.
Built Better is run by a drag racer who proves his own work on his own car — an LS-swapped Nissan 300ZX, built start to finish, turbo and all. Every combo we recommend earns its place on our car before it goes near yours. If it can't take what we put it through, it doesn't go in your build.
