Well that was disappointing!

- On this episode we head over to Alabama International Dragway to do some testing. I meet up with Finnegan who's trying to run an 8 second pass in the rubber duck firebird. Meanwhile, I'm over here just trying to break into the 6's in the 1/8... The mustang ran a 7.0 in the 1/8 the last time out and since then we added a new camshaft and swapped the rear gear ratio from 373 to 456. It started out like your typical roadkill episode. The brake master cylinder started leaking before I even made a pass. After fixing that we ran a 7.1 at 102 five times in a row. Although slower than before I was impressed at how consistent it was. Turns out we have the wrong torque converter in the trans and the car is an absolute dog off the line. But a bad day at the track beats any day stuck inside!
Specs-
5.3 LS mostly stock with a blower camshaft
F1-A 94 Procharger
Gearstar Performance Powerglide Transmission
Quick Performance 9" rearend with 456 gears and a spool
Holley HP engine management - Auta a dopravní prostředky
i blame the shirt. can't be good luck! lol. good times, lets do it again soon, homie!
Tell the truth. Did you get the Datsun from 12V Dave?
Was I the only one trying to see what Finnegan was pulling his race trailer with?
The Ole roadkill curse!!!! Not gonna a lie... I don't put the stickers on my cars!!!!!!!
Love you fin your the man ,
Probably karma for selling the ramp truck to “thin the fleet”, just to buy another truck while shopping for another 😂
Love the disappearing lady! She just up and vanished! Lol!
Good to see you and Finnegan back together, if only briefly.
Absolutely!!!
You are getting this CZcams video stuff down buddy!!! I look forward to yours and Finnegan’s so much! Keep up the great work!!
I like that cool magic trick, she was standing there and just suddenly disappeared. lol Thanks for sharing your adventure with us.
And her water bottle! Reminiscent of high school film making class.
Newbern your a great addition to my daily viewing thank you! Keep up the hard work sure it’s a lot behind the scenes!
Can’t help but to grin when the Rubber Duck comes to the line and launches. Looking forward to you making changes to the Mustang and seeing what it can do.
Firebird just idles NASTY.🙀
Love your shop, very jealous
That's awesome Dave , really like the panel that swings down with all the electronics
Glad to see you guys hanging out again.
Should have a coyote.
Like seeing you and finn back together
Awesome video David! 🇺🇸💪🏼
That is a big difference!!!!
Great video, know you will make some improvements with it eventually. Looking forward to watch that in the future. Loved the rump rump on the firebird, nasty as!
great start
Great content thanks for sharing
You were only 500hp short!!! Lol. Beer money is no joke. Lyle is a legend that few know.
Awesome brither!!!
Another good one 👍👍
The Duck's cam idle gives me goosebumps!!😂
That’s not the cam. It’s actually blower surge caused by a rich to lean condition. It can easily be tuned out but a lot of guys leave it that way because it impresses all the 15 year olds at car shows. 😉
@@danmyers9372 I'm well familiar with blower surge. That's what makes it sound like a heartbeat, like it's alive. I'm talking cam overlap at idle. That thing sounds fantastic!
Put the 3.73's back in it, get a decent converter and 6's should be easy. I'd toss the Glide and get at least a TH350 or something with overdrive for Drag and Drive stuff.
that thing leaves the line like a herd of turtles lol
Good video, just a regular day at the track. I don't ever remember going to the dragstrip no matter how much prep was done and something needed to be tweaked or fixed but thats the fun.
Yep. Something unexpected ALWAYS rears its head.
You and Mike seem to be really nice people.
Thanks Dave!
I'll bet the trip to the grocery store was a smoke show trip 😅 look forward to seeing with the big block Dave. Cheers mate
Drag week with 4.56:1 gears!?! You’re an animal!
I've seen a few bowtie powered Fox bodies.Build what you want no one else will.
I was most worried about that black GTO beside that LS engine making a Dyno pull!😜
1:30, when I was a kid... We called that Shittin' & Gittin'😲
🤣
Yeah that converter was WAY too tight. The car sounded like a car with a big single turbo that took 2-3 seconds to get up into boost. I’m really surprised the lower rear gear didn’t help the car get up onto the converter sooner. Guess it just needs more power!
Car is looking good. When you put the big motor in the 4.56 will be way too much gear but you’re on the right track.
Good Ole Nikky Bobby.. That kid is a go-getter and talented.
505hp should go 6.20s . I hope you have overdrive in that thing. That's a lot of gear. Can't wait to see the new combo
Well man it sounds like 1200 hp !
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is why I’ll always be a turbo guy. All that money for a blower just to be disappointed
Yep ... more stall ... lot's more stall!
DAVE, is that a crack in the roll bar where you are pointing?!
OK DIDNT WAIT TILL THE END YOU MIGHT HAVE A CHANCE IF YOU HAVE ONE OF HED'S BEER MONEY SPECIAL WITH A BIG AND NASTY CAM BUT STILL BEER MONEY IS FAST AS HELL THAT MIGHT STILL BE A LONG SHOT
Dave, is that a 25.3 cage?
is pretty fast, but why not glorious panther platform?
Needs a looser converter for sure.
you didn't have 6 volt there for good luck that was the problem!
I’m not claiming to know anything, I’m only asking. 404whp seems really low!! I was thinking a small cam bolt on LS would break the 400whp mark, so I would THINK with that big of a blower (that’s a decently rowdy blower), even on low boost, that it would make quite a bit more, right?
I literally came here to say the same thing. 400 ish whp seems WAY low for even a low boost 5.3~ not throwing shade, just speaking my experience
I thought it made 505 to the wheel and he said he didnt want to push it with no ring gap in it. Not knowing the boost # and just assuming maybe 10 and some change, on just a cammed 5.3, at first i was thinking it was close to a 100 short but i was thinking turbo not considering parasitic losses so him being conservative not pushing i would assume the #'s are probably right. Plus you really need to spin that f1a94 so everything is probably shifted to the right and probably not seeing the R's to make good pwr.
@@stevenbelue5496 I think first round setup was 404 and the most recent was 505. I would imagine your assumption is prob right though.
Stroker Ford is what's in mine and it run 5 95
Dave! Put the 15's back on your '57. That's my favorite car of yours mostly because of the wheels you had on it. I am a Ford guy but I won't say anything about the LS in a fox.
Steel AL?
Its the converter…
Surely painting a cage in a car
Would have to be one of the worst jobs ever!?!
Just keep feeding that Mustang all your Lunch Money.... she'll go fast... or she won't!
I thought that Mike said on his channel that he couldn't drive any of his cars with his broken leg.? So who drove the Rubber Duck.?
I think it's his left leg, can't push a clutch pedal.
i got the green light from my doc the day before this track test to drive an automatic car. this is the only one I can drive right now. :)
@@FinnegansGarage Thanks. I was just kinda confused.
You may need 24V
Hello.
With the holley dash you lose the fuel guage. Not good for a street car
You ran a street car against a tube chassis car.Yea I know Beer money is a (stock) suspension car.
Improve 1 thing and then you have to change 10 others
I'm first!

11v dave ? he just aint that bright lol
Who is the girl in the white jacket?
A "big blower cam". Show me a cam or blower manufacturer that recommends "big" cams for "blowers". The purpose of a "blower" is force more air and fuel through the valve openings of a "small" cam.
Heavy duty turbodiesels making up to 50 psi (absolute) of boost and doing so continuously "indefinitely" do not have "big" cams. Or "big" valves. "Big" cams tend to "leak" a lot and defeat most of the purpose of a "blower".
Same goes for nitrous. No nitrous system manufacturer ever recommends putting nitrous on an engine with a "big" cam because once again they tend to "leak" and that is a REAL bad thing with nitrous. 99% of "nitrous backfires" are the result of wannabe "engine builders" trying to run "big" nitrous with "big" cams that at "low rpm" are always going to "backfire".
Cam "lope" is due to valve overlap and "leaks" at low speed allowing fuel and air in the intake manifold to get "polluted" with exhaust gas during overlap. The "lope" is actually a lean "miss" moving among several cylinders. The slower an engine runs the LONGER THE VALVES ARE OPEN AND THE MORE TIME THERE IS FOR "LEAKAGE". MORE OVERLAP MAKES IT WORSE. SO THE ENGINE "LOPES" AT IDLE AND THEN "SMOOTHS OUT" OFF-IDLE WHEN THERE ISN'T SUFFICIENT TIME FOR EXHAUST, FUEL AND AIR TO "MIX".
BASICALLY IF YOU MIX "BIG" CAMS WITH POWER ADDERS SPECIFICALLY INVENTED TO...WAIT FOR IT...ADD POWER WITHOUT ALL THE BULLSHIT EFFECTS ON "DRIVEABILITY" AND DURABILITY AND RELIABILITY THAT "BIG" CAMS CREATE "DOWN LOW" YOU ARE COMPLETELY CLUELESS ABOUT ENGINE FUNDAMENTALS AND BASICS, "HIGH PERFORMANCE" PARTS AND COMPONENTS AND HOW THEY "MAKE POWER" IN AN "ALL MOTOR" SITUATION AND HOW POWER ADDERS WORK.
You can get more power out of a coyote
I just can watch you tubers with Nice Mustangs & LS Engines!! because they can't figure out how to make a Ford Engine just as Fast!!
YOUR CAR IS BAD ASS I LOVE IT BUT NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO BEER MONEY WILL SPANK YOU THEY HAD IT ON LOW BOOST THAT THING MAKES 2000HP TO THE WHEEL
Why are u yelling?
@@FreddyFunderbunz boomer says, got to use the big words. GOBBLES
I own a Mustang. That's not a Mustang.
No one cares
Thank you for your knowledge and video's USA 🇺🇸 USA 🇺🇸 TRUMP TRUMP
sounds like 3.50 gears no 4.56 I thought for sure you was leaving in second gear or that is one sick pig 5.3 hell seen much much quicker little 5.0 fords just being honest man that was second gear take offs no way that was 4.56 gears unless your using a power glide
Motor trend sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yup!!
You literally chose the shittiest chassis to drag race. I own two fox bodies currently and they are unqualified shit.
All I am going to say it it's a ford ! Now go back to the beginning of you video! That's your problem!
Have you heard the story about the fox's firewall & brakes ??
