  • @markthegunplumber8376

    Pete has to re-think the whole Cleetus question now that the engine has been upgraded to an SMX capable of 4k HP. Now the question/questions are "can they make it hook up and not blow the tires off on every run" or "how fast can you make a 3500# brick go down the track" or "how many parts can that engine break down stream of said engine". I see transmissions and drive shafts and rearends going boom in the near future. One thing is for sure that engine has no idea what it's in for, because it will be treated like a rented mule from now on. Mc Farland racing the ultimate in "Destructive Testing". Steve is laying in bed thinking "My God, what have I done". As a parent of 5 children and now a grandparent of 7 grand children one has to wonder on Christmas morning when little Cleeter opened a gift, just how long did it take said child to completely destroy it. Stay Tuned, because I think were about to find out.

    With the right engine combo and Pete’s tuning I honestly think Mullet can go as fast as Cleetus is willing to push Mullet and himself. That said to get past the 6:30’s I think will require a transmission change to a Lenco 5 speed or Liberty 7 speed.

    • @freedomfox8183
      @freedomfox8183 Před rokem +1

      Definitely not to go 630 or even 620...maybe any faster but a th400 will take you just as fast with the right tuning that's why a couple guys are dropping them in NPK for the weight in favor of a th400 because they were able to go faster with the th400 the season before he went 647 @ 224 with a conventional big block on 45psi.. with an SMX he could go 630s right off rip with good prep he can literally go from topped at 45 to 90+ PSI now if he wanted.. according to Pete there still time there and I trust him.. it's just with how heavy mullet is its not easy...
