I lasted less than a month before I gave up having a real race car lol. The stress was way too much. I was getting stressed out just watching this. When they're working though it's an epic feeling!
Stressful? Whats stressful about sending your car off to someone else to fix it when shit breaks? Y'all are some fuckin drama queens.
Stressful?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍
Fuck outta here...stressful...with your bank account what do you have to stress about?!?
Would be nice to see grandpa vette with your brother
it cant be that stressful you drove it a couple of times then sold it didnt even race it
check the power wire going to the alternator see if it's getting hot❗️ If the new alternator is putting out double the amperage then you'll need a heavier gauge wire powering the alt.❗️ also run the heaviest gauge wire you can from the solenoid to the battery❗️ and add multiple ground wires from the battery to the frame and from the frame to the engine❗️
Definitely the best advice. Also I'd probably see if there is an upgraded tps or tpi sensor. I had a few issues basically the same and changing the ground wires and battery along with the tpi it worked perfect until the diff snapped. Currently sitting in the garage for a month or so until funds are available for a new diff
The answer is hell f’ing yes 😂. No car with 1000 plus hp is right out of the box perfect. Always some cuss words involved and trial/error. Great Video man.
The problem is this car has been out of the box for a long time.
Put a dam cable throttle on it probably solved
Enough with too much of this new technology lol, run what you know!
I'll bet every car who watched this video said the same thing. I know I did. LOL.
Do the math on your crank rpm vs alternator rpm you could be spinning it to fast and cooking the alternator
We look forward to every video from you Nick. Keep up the great work and we will be here salivating and eagerly awaiting the next video. 👍👍👍👍👍
Love the vidoes Nick! Always nice to watch a video after work. Keep up the good work!
This is why you you go with a throttle by cable, 😂😂
CSP... Complete STREET Performance. Looks like they're very capable to me, just not accustomed to building full on race cars.
I think the freedom rocket is a good way to get their foot in the door as far as full race builds builds go
You should race Cleetus Mcfaland!!
Like if u agree!!
Auto vs stick? Or his red car ruby vs this freedomrocket and leroy the c5 stick car?
Ruby or Leroy would smoke him.
Why ? He's not beating Ruby lol...
My thoughts exactly, i like the car but if you can't even set pre load and leave off a transbreak your not getting very far and a blower car should be on big tires in my opinion but i guess a 28 10.5 can work if you have the right setup which is important to go with what you know works thats the only part i disagree with other than that i like the unike cars online
@@Josh_De95 X275 trim SBF w8-71 roots went 4.20s in the 1/8. That's a 28×10 drag radial without the help of a 4 links setup.
Big tire isn't necessary. I've been 1.teens consistently on stock suspension with nitrous and blower. It's all in the setup. Big tires with around 1200hp is a waste. You'll go faster on the smaller tire.
I'm guessing you run a N/A BB. With a set up like that I can understand a 10.5W tire because you want to leave with everything to ET. Combination and tuning everything.
Was it worth it?????
Hell fucking yeah it was. And I'm watching the ads before the video writing this.
Nick, you cant put a Value on the amount of lives you have touched with your channel. No price or $$ amount can quantify the greatness you pass along man. Love the channel.
Really enjoy seeing what you go through while testing your vehicles. Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work!
I have been here through consistent uploads and through a month of nothing your videos are unique and stand out so much to me that I don’t see myself ever really going away from this channel. Keep the real ness of racing and not just skipping the bs that happens showing false info on race cars
Inever really understood how loud this beast was until you came to NC. I was at the back row of the bleachers and it was still deafening! Heck of a cool car dude
These are the kind of videos I really like. Not saying I like to see anyone having problems, this is just more of real life shit that not a lot of people like talking about. Love the channel. Looking forward to seeing how it does after all the suspension parts are installed.
Love the video as always. Nice to see the beard coming back.
For us it was 😁
That first pass did look awesome
Hell yeah man love the videos
Yes, it’s worth it! You have a one off, full on drag car. Even watching RPM’s videos, you can see Fran scratching his nuts, trying to figure stuff out on his car. Thank you for the video!
Awesome video Nick and this is the joys of racing it's always a test and tune deal keep up with the awesome videos can't wait to see your next one 😊
Or bigger charging wire from alternator to battery...
Bro this is a badass build fr 🔥
Good honest video! 👍 Have a great weekend!
Would using a throttle cable type set-up help any ?
Is the alt. Pcm controlled or externally controlled gm does have a mpg saver mode that will drop your voltage
Always good content when smokes rolling from camaro tires!!
My zl1 had a similar issue with the gas pedal, would always trip a cel and throw me into limp mode, had to replace the whole pedal because the position sensor was shot. Maybe something similar going on here?
I really can’t wait for you to catch a break. I know it’s racing, there’s growing pains, new engine bugs but goddamn dude it really is always something. You’ll get there man you have alot of knowledgeable dudes in your corner.
Just keep your head down and keep working it out Nick you will get it there and it will feel like such a accomplishment!🦅🇺🇸🦅
GuitarmageddonZL1 Great Video I'm glad you made one good hopeful can get freedom running right for the next time
Is there any problems with going to a cable driven throttle vs drive by wire? Just to stop these and any future problems.
sounds like the alt isnt charging at the right idle rpm. if you change the pulley it may solve the charging issue.
Change the alternator pulley correct?????
@@MichaelBacon212 yes that's what he's saying
Agree definitely could be issue actually seen it alot on supercharged cars with pulleys being different
@@bustinyanutz4195 ok that's what I figured. Thanks. 👍👍👍👍👍
Had that issue with my street car with under drive pulleys .A smaller alternator pulley was the fix.
Good to see you back. Hope yo see more of the bald eagle machine
That's what it's all about build race break repeat hahaha keep on wrenching 👍
For some reason when the maf sensor is fuck up it completely screws up the electric throttle body! Mine was doing exactly how yours is after I hit 1100 torque
Its getting there Nick...great attitude but also i hope you're having fun.the car sounds really pissed off.as always hope you,Lauren, and the dogs are doing well and have had a good summer.also and hate to say it but miss the guitars, yeah bro im here for the cars but i understand those ,the guitar thing fascinates me because i dont know how to do what you do.anyway great video stay safe when you light up those camaros.
You cant go wrong with a power glide. The launch is so smooth
You know I bet you’re right about the voltage.
I have seen the goofiest things happen between systems that you think how in the heck could that affect this. Can’t wait to hear, should be interesting.
the engine sound is soooo smooth,wkwkwkwkwkwkkkkkkk
Possibly Belt slipping from Not enough tension on the alternator pulley? It is worked on alot could just be a little light on tension.. just a thought since it was just replaced
If the belt was slipping that bad it wouldn't make near the boost it is.
@@waynebollentin989 how so? Mines a separate belt for alternator my supercharger is a completely separate belt.. why would he have them on same belt? Seems counterintuitive ..not doubting you because I have different setup but my supercharger is on its own belt so figured for making even more power he'd have a similar belt setup for supercharger and then belt for his accessories
@Eric K exactly, I've had it happen after replaced alternator that's why I suggested. Checking it, sometimes it's the easiest fix no parts required it just gets over looked but it was just an idea..
@@freedomfox8183 It depends on the kit. I'm not 100% sure what Nick has. For what I'm referring to. Nick isn't dropping boost if he was. It wouldn't be the problem. Even if he's was loosing a lot of boost.These are completely to different problems obviously what we're talking about here too.
Now even if he has a 2 belt system. The belt would have to be so loose it would come off to cause a charging issue. Yet still should have enough power to make a pass. It's much much harder to turn a blower and any slipping is noticed. Can't compare the two.
His problem is most likely the battery. I've always ran either 2 batteries or 16v system with this much electrical load. I didn't even run an alternator on my straight race car stuff and more reason I find it impossible to be the alternator. I'd throw the charge on after the pass and would be ready for the next round. Even when the rounds were short.
I never had an issue running multiple accessories. I ran water pump, intercooler pump, data logger, F.A.S.T engine management, ignition system, fans for the cooling system, trans and even little one me etc. Gets Hot as fuck in a #20 suit. After watching a friend almost burn up. I know first had how important 10 more seconds can be. I take no chances.
The other most likely cause is a wiring problem, like bad ground, shorting, sizing, etc. I believe he's still using the stock size battery cable which may be a problem.
No way it's a belt problem . I'd call bullshit even if he tried to claim it.
Even if the belt slips like your talking about. The alternator will still be spinning more then fast enough with a loose belt to charge the car. That's the difference.
Like I said many of us don't even run an alternator. Specially heads up guys. You tend to find them on bracket cars because how fast rounds can go and the amount of rounds you have to deal with when you keep winning.
The joys of a race car,it will all work out in the future bro
Is a 1000 hp worth it? My car barely makes 280 hp I would say hell yeah its worth it. Great video man 👍👍👍👍
G10VANN1 TH3 G35 FAN ahaha my minivan makes 285 stock
@billy smith cool story man. Dont shit on someone elses car, he probably loves the thing who cares..
That gangster lean..from the launch..lol any info on the hood?
Good video Nick! This is the reality of building cars and drag racing. Patience and perseverance is the aim of the game. If you want a "plug and play" car then get a Tesla. The real racers try different things and aim higher than the next racer so keep up the great work and great content Nick.
Love the 33 Willy’s in the beginning of tie video. Only a real drag racer will give that respect to the original bad ass of them all. Kudos man. Good luck on your ride
What's the deal with the 10 speed? Do they hold up? Im torn between a 10 or a m6 ? I need info lol!!
Seem to from 1000hp and under in the mustangs and Chevy's 10 speed.. if anything when you start getting past that power like him you may experience some slipping in the upper gears like 7th but rare unless your putting more than 1000 whp down
Well said Nick well said Sir.
Nick, great to see you back. Great video. Troubles racing .... oh well but seeing attempted racing is great.
How many years ago did you do the video on Taking Delivery on New Car?
You have gotten into the grove of video n editing since then.
I have joke... you are welcome... I'm not sharing it about your delivery vid. Anyhow, you are one of FEW who can talk a lot making a vid and it's a really good vid.
Congrats. (more racing)
thanks Nick
Also if the alternator doesnt push out enough voltage then maybe it doesnt have enough power to run the pedal anymore. Just a fail safe?
Nick have you thought about trying dielectric grease on those areas on the electrical system that could have more moisture issues and checking for corrosion on the wire surface
I have no idea if this will help but when it comes to your electrical system could you get one of those 16v race batteries or try and get 2 12v batteries in series seems like others in the comments are convinced that its not the cold cranking amps but the overall voltage being the issue
Check your crank shaft position sensor ? Unless you deleted it ? My car Camaro was always saying that it had low battery and I replaced it twice. Then I got the crankshaft position sensor fixed. Now no problem
I am glad things are going along well . When you had the throttel issue . I though maybe the sensor is going out .??
Hell yhea it's worth it😎❤👍
I have a high output alternator 200 amp at 800rpm it only puts 80 amps it doesn’t make 200 until 4800rpms I got this for my plow it only helps if I keep rpms up
The freedom rocket is is easily 8snd.. can't wait to see it rip when the fall season is here
put a manual tb .you only will have a tps to check if theres a probleme
Check all your gtounds, snd possobly add a ground, Had similar problemson my race bike
Gotta love chasing gremlins ☹ hang in there bud. You'll get it eventually 💯 keep up the good work! 👍👍👍
I love that car I'm saving 2 get my own but I like the 2017 better daily
You should give mechman alternator a try for your voltage issues. I agree once it is running the voltage should not drop if the alternator is rated for the amperage you are pulling. Xs power makes some good batteries as well. I’m sure you know this already.
Add more grounding straps?
Bro the same thing happened to Ultimate Camaro! It's the mass air flow sensor!
My LS swapped 69 Camaro has an issue sometimes with the throttle pedal popping a code for low voltage. It essentially quits working when that happens. I can clear the code and its fine. I still don't know what the issue is other than it happens if I have my a/c on and try to use my cruise control. Also for what its worth I have problems with my alternator too. I have gone through a bunch of them and I finally put on a 225 amp and everything seems ok so far. Seems like it is not keeping up at idle but driving is fine.
Life is in the journey, not necessarily the destination. Enjoy the ride Bud.
You should get a cable throttle body. Cleetus did the same thing when he was having so many problems out of his electronic one
The freedom rocket is pretty disappointing tbh. All that time and money on a dedicated drag car to consistently run mid 9s 😐 This thing should be running 8s all day long, if not high 7s.
It's a shitty car to start with to be honest. The Thing weighs like 4100 pounds or so stock, then you take the seats out but add in a big roll bar. It's just such a heavy car.
Issue is between the stearing wheel and seat...Fran's girl could get it in the 8's just saying.
Apples and oranges but there are Demons running 9.1-9.2s with a tire, e85 and a tune from Tim Barth. Bone stock other than switching fuel and tune
Nick, having a 1000hp race car is great and I can tell you enjoy it overall which is the whole point. Do you ever regret turning your ZL1 into a purpose built race car? By that I mean you started with $50K ZL1 and stripped it down to nothing and rebuilt it. Would you have rather bought a base 5th gen and build it up and kept your ZL1 as a sweet daily?
Check every ground and make sure all wire connections are tight. The battery is probably fine and just because the alternator is a new better one doesn't mean its working right . Have it tested and make sure the block ground is on and a good connection.
and check if you are overdriving your alternator. sometime theres a safety if you go at higher rpm the alternator is going past is max volt/amp and stop charging and start to pretty much draining the battery i have seen that in a high revving honda
Nice!! Thanks.... :-)
Followed you for years, your channel could of been huge by now.
Normal DA in Amarillo Tx is around 7000, 1500 must be nice 🤣
"Proven set ups" don't even run perfectly right away. lol
You probably need to replace the throttle position sensor could be going out
Nick if the pedal runs on intrinsic signal any difference in millivolts would upset that pedal
Throttle sensor on the pedal? Throttle positioning sensor?
Electrical, second battery or what about a deep cycle marine battery?
You should definitely get a driven by cable throttle body.
Nice V-6 Camaro
Not BIG enough battery I had same problem in a 06 gtp grand am
Bruh on the first run the Mustang jumped the gun lol
I do a fair bit of work in live sound. Power issues are my number one enemy. I just had a gig where both sides of my PA would just drop out randomly, but not simultaneously. It was infuriating. Same generator I always use for outdoor gigs, same power distribution setup, and yet issues all day long, worse than I've ever seen before. Just maddening to see anything get dragged down by power issues.
My guess.... Pedal position sensor. The vibrations from all those bald eagles. Electronics and vibration don't mix well. Great work keep it up!!!
External regulator on alt, ecm controls voltage and charging on anything new
get 2 batteries, one to power the engine, one to power the accessories.
Voltage issues man. Change cable from alternator to battery with better and 2 or 0 gauge. Look at monster or streetwires. Change put grounds make new ones
Its possible the battery cables are to small not able to carry the required voltage thats why the voltage seems to bottleneck maybe install a second bigger cable to the alternator to test
Maybe you bent the throttle body plate, or maybe torqued the bar on the plate? Making it not respond like it should. Maybe the throttle body position sensor?
Minty 👍
I had the same issue. Changed the battery and it went away.
Had a similar issue and we grounded the whole car with a grounding kit. Seemed to fix our drag car. It was a 1300hp Supra
Find one weak link after another till you get it worked out thats racing your close tho keep on it
With all the systems you have running, and the high inductive load high flow fuel pumps you have now, it could be a wiring issue.. Whenever I do a high amperage Car Audio, CB or lighting setup I run an additional heavy gauge cable, usually 4 Gauge from the alternator to the battery. Also, I run additional heavy gauge cables from the ground to the frame and one onto the engine block. This seems to alleviate issues with noise, and charging issues. You may have done this already, but it doesn't hurt to throw it out there.
Does someone make a conventional cable driven throttle body the same size you have right now? Cletus had the same problem with Leroy and the new throttle body fixed the problem you’re having. If you haven’t figured it out that might be your fix.
I like this video i cant imagine having all this trouble i have enough with my 9.90 bracket car (set with a throttle shut off so it runs 9.90-9.94 everytime with hopefully no breakouts lol) but that is a simple big tire 502 punched out to a 509ci with just a regular 2step MSD and 2 speed powerglide.. yes the car will go 9.40 and 9.0x on nitrous as it has and i like how he explained preload. I first had mine set with a lot and yes my tire is 3 times the size but i also had a lot more time on my hands and a car that weighes nothing compared to the beautiful new cameros like you have i just got an ugly old 1980 malibu but racing is very fun dont give up. Bottom line all the rambling is provent like he said my simple set up i knew would work, or you can be like everyone else and buy a fox body and throw a 5.7 (350 small block) in with a nice ol turbo and power glide and be crushing into 7 second passes and 4.90 1/8th which is a lot of what we have by you in upstate ny right by buffalo and p.a
Over all keep it up, love the energy of racing coming back and cant wait to see whats instore with both of your machines. Great video!
Sup bro how are you doing
Pedal assembly for the throttle issue. Sensor not serviceable alone. Voltage issue is either bad or not enough grounds or alternator pulley wrong size for your application. Math is your friend. Figure out what pulley size you need to get proper voltage while idling and low speed. and get an overruning pulley(OAP) that size for it. Or switch to a 16 volt system although not necessary.
Omg bro that’s my home strip right next to my house
I'd switch to the old linkage style throttle and throttle body to eliminate that issue
Damn race cars. It's coming out nice though that from a Mustang Guy. Going to stay with you until your in the sevens and then possibly in the sixes if u want it let's of money. Watch somebody else spend there money for a change. You are doing a fine job lol . Both cars r badass. Good to see you keep them
