these giveaways watching these videos the only way we can make
this content and i greatly appreciate
it let's get to the video
back here with our cheap
car and it's been a while
since we've shown this
thing so we need to go over quite a bit
of stuff we're definitely over budget i don't think we're
that bad over budget but i think we got
a hot rod here i think we have a car that can be just
as fast or faster than the guys on the Cletus crew
and anybody else that could build a car with
15 to wherever we're at with this budget we'll say
in parts 15 ish 15 ish we're gonna go over
the budget at the end of this video but hopefully
we're going to get it running that's the goal
fire this thing up and we need to get it to the dyno
and we need to take it to the track as soon
as possible IRD John Bittler over there he
is going to tune it we bought this carburetor was
expensive well relatively speaking it's a blim
so we did get a decent deal on it still expensive
but came with the tuning services
so we don't have to do anything for the tuning services on that
well let's look underneath here and I know
when we start showing some of this stuff we're going to
get a little bit of crap because it's the quality is nice right
when we set out to build this the
goal wasn't to build the biggest junk box we could it
was to build the nicest in my opinion i want to
build a nice vehicle right with limited funds for parts
so i wanted to build a nice car just a cheap
car so danny did do some brake lines
and kyle did some pretty nice stuff we're gonna show a lot of
stuff yeah but let's start underneath here
and we need to keep track of the stuff we haven't wrote
down so when we go in there to our board
and uh we see how much we're really having this we make
sure we added it but right underneath here
so what we've done since you guys have seen it we've
plumbed it so we got all our plumbing here
which I think in Cletus's rules and we'll go both ways
on this they didn't charge for expensive plumbing you could use
so plumbing or yeah you could use
you could buy expensive plumbing
but you can use the pricing off of like eBay or Amazon which I
think we have the cheap plumbing price
on the board already yes well we're gonna double check
that we're gonna double check that stuff all right we got
our drive shaft in drive shafts in
transmissions in shifters hooked up yep steering column done steering
is totally done yep and
underneath the brake lines all right
so the brake line look at these things
we got new rubbers from the chassis to the brakes look
at this we did put a line lock in here so we
have a line lock but look at these brake lines now
i'm pretty sure i have this is the first time i've
been under here yeah but danny was fired up he said he did
the one from the front to the back
one piece so i'm gonna we're gonna see this
together so if you can see where it comes out
here is that a master cylinder yep right here let's see
the man's insane let's see i literally
have not looked at this yet
but one piece that one piece brake line to the back and then it goes
basically from this soft line to the rear end to the T
which we had to run the T backwards because
we ran it straight up with the suspension
compressed it would hit the top T's it
solid lines to here soft lines to the outside
that way if you take the caliper off you don't
have to uh re-bleed the brakes, welded some nice tabs
on here do have one of our average johnson's
scratch and dent unit obviously that's
not a you know scratch and dent yeah how much cheap uh josh
definitely blew the budget on our double adjustable uppers
and single adjustable lowers but it is what
it is we did leave the stock coil springs
and that's why it sits like it's uh we got a rough
country lift kit on it but yeah you know we're done we can't spend
no more money so it's gonna
have to work like this and yeah
the back's totally done parachute mount is done which i think it's
it's over there we did get a parachute
so i don't know parachutes kind of safety these things if
this thing runs what we'd like it to run 790s i don't know
that might be pushing if it goes 790s
it's going to go like 175 yeah 175 is yeah
and this thing's got stock brakes so we need a parachute
yeah so that's why i put a parachute
on we'll write it down on the side of the board that
isn't for the rules and on the side
that doesn't include safety we won't add it so definitely
there's gonna be thousands of dollars extra
on the side that includes the price of the safety
items because there's quite a bit of stuff
so but that's done parachute parachute cable
handles done steering wheel we did put one
of our steering wheels in there which
not the cheapest way to go but we sell them
and we make them so we want to put it in it look good
yeah other than that this thing is something you could buy
and you could put together this really
is i mean you could buy one
of these Mustangs they're everywhere this is the same chassis
platform as all of them all the you know Fox body SN95
and these are all the same right uh front rear
suspension floor basically pretty much
so this is something you could buy for 500 bucks rolling
800 bucks rolling and you could put a you know
this is a this is not a high dollar K member
no this is a cheap K member not the most expensive A arms
and you could plug and play whatever
engine you wanted in there with this
this is just what we wanted to do because we've done a bunch
of LS stuff and right now Cletus
and Jack Stand both did LS stuff Ty did a coyote that's pretty cool
yeah but they're kind of expensive they
are so we want to do something different and then we
went even farther with going to the blow through instead
of you know fuel injection a little
different it's it's kind of been fighting us
but not the carburetor's fault just the Ford and all
the stuff in general has been fighting us a little bit
but this will be a different unit than most
and if we can go low eights
or high sevens with this for the money we have in it will be super
cool that'll be insane and i think it's gonna
be pretty light we do need to weigh it still we still
gotta put the front end on we got a lot of stuff to do
we got we don't have any water in this thing yet
but it is getting close and hopefully we can hear
this thing run soon that's the goal that's the big
goal because then we can then we can get
to the track get to the dyno start having some fun with
the thing we also need to do some kind
of a cruise 100 miles at least drive from here to Bradenton
yeah a little straight right we'll probably take the trailer in case
but yeah all right let's lower
this thing down and uh go over some of the inside stuff
and then see if we can't get it fired up we
got a little bit of figuring out to do i'm sure computer wise
and all that kind of stuff but i
think we'll get it fired up and uh
then we'll figure out the budget and talk about what's next
so on the inside we do have our two kirky seats
do we have seat covers for these we do and we're
gonna ride we're gonna need well if it's gonna
be a long ride we need some seat covers yeah
we did get our FFP uh seat mounts these are killer
because they're super easy like usually we spend
hours fabricating uh a little half inch tube
with some tabs it comes out good but this
looks good and it's black anodized
and it will work with any seat as long as you have that tube
back there he probably sells a different size clamp
so shout out to FFP we will add those to
our budget but the nice thing is they're they are adjustable
so they're super adjustable mixed like
it matches the you know the adjustable seats
that we make in-house and stuff like that so
yeah i mean we put our we put our seat brackets we make
on the bottom bolt the seat right in and
have adjustment down there and then you put this on the top
and it definitely cuts your time down
by a lot you know instead of having to mount all
this stuff and spend days doing that
quick steering columns in we made a fixed molly steering column
with our motion quick connect and
our cjrc steering wheel again we probably could have went
a little cheaper on a steering wheel
but that's the steering wheel we have we have one in stock
so yeah we'll add that to the budget but
you can imagine we probably could have put
a fifty dollar steering wheel in there we could have but
it's let me let me put it on so it looks it looks good
in a motion quick connect and we
the steering column we went with is super light
and there's not much money in that there's only
two delrin bushings and uh you know ten dollar piece of tubing
so that is light we saved a bunch
of weight going to that let me go ahead
and put this thing in because it's like let me see this
job there you go yeah you can't beat
these steering wheels josh do we have any of these
in stock or someone wants one i don't think we
do do we do it yeah we got buttons and wheels
in stock okay these go pretty quick usually
that's pretty much like it's like you know what
we might as well put one of these in because they
are not in stock very often and they come with the
buttons and the deal on the back
so all the buttons go to one core that's pretty nice so i
like that a lot too so we do if you want one
of these they are on the website and again you can
see the column now how much weight we save there
from like a stock column it's just a piece of
inch and a quarter .065 chromoly
and some one inch chromoly mounting it fixed it's not adjustable
the adjustable one was not in the budget we got our motion CO2 bottle
and CO2 clamp i'm sure that's
gonna hurt the budget a little bit
on that one it's all right it's all right yeah motion parachute
handle right there so we got that you see
the cable wraps around kyle did a nice job on that
back there so we have a fire wall there keeping
a fuel cell uh separate from the cockpit stock
pedals wiring came out awesome switch panel shifter out
of el cheapo that's the only good
we had out of the whole car well the motor motor's still good yeah yeah
but the rest of the car we
just got rid of yeah it's toast all right well let's get ready
to get this thing fired up see
what we can do all right it's time to put some fuel in a cheap
car and see if we got some fire
well first we got to check for fuel leaks we got yeah leaking
if we got no fuel leaks then we're
going to try to have some some fire yeah all right let's do it we
also we gotta we gotta put that
little this little deal what is that right there fuse yeah it's
for the fuel pump okay because
it comes on when you turn power on ah we don't want
to no not right now not yet not yet all right
let's put some fuel on it, see what we got, yes sir i don't know
if that's how it's supposed to be
there but if it works it works right that's
a new part yeah cjraceburns.com street bar
filler neck funnel thingamajig
this is interesting here yeah put 87 in there oh yeah hey don't be
confused it does say 93 on there
but it is e85 it is not 93 i promise it had m1 in it at one point
oh we definitely don't want m1 in there we got
fuel up here yet josh or is it still i can feel
it in the line you can feel it
on the lines i don't think i don't know if the pressure is reading
it that's how low dollar
motorsports sensor right
now get hit a little
more again keep doing it
It doesn't sound like it's picking up fuel, does it?
Or does it?
I don't think we got no fuel, Danny.
All right, we had a fuel pump miscalculation.
We recalculated it, and I think we got fuel now.
Yeah, we definitely got fuel now.
All right, let's see if we can check for leaks again.
Yeah.
Go ahead, Taylor, give us a leak check.
See what our fuel pressure is doing.
Oh, gosh, dang.
Why didn't it do that, guy?
It almost, you guys did that on purpose, didn't you?
Huh?
Oh, no, it squirted fuel.
Dude, that scared me bad.
It, uh.
What did that?
I don't know, but we're getting fuel in the cylinders now.
It's definitely not my fault.
Holy smokes.
That's not good.
I'm assuming maybe the bowls.
It came right out of these right here.
I don't know anything about these blow-through carburetors.
I need a flathead screwdriver
Wow.
So you can tune it?
That's scary.
Josh tuning it.
I think we had too much fuel pressure
because the fuel came out of right here,
and I thought at first you guys set me up for that one.
No, we wouldn't.
wasn't on purpose all right well we got
this hose now let's run down here and i think we got a fuel
pressure turned down enough to try it again we got
the laptop hooked up to see where the fuel
pressure is do you know what fuel pressure we're aiming
for i'm assuming between eight and nine
pounds eight nine pounds nine pounds yeah all
right let's hit it you ready tom just a fuel
pressure right it came out something
though filled it up yeah it's it's
a lot it's a lot what do we
got going on here josh i thought you're
my carburetor guy i'm the last carburetor guy
You told me you knew what you were doing.
You believed me.
I mean, I was hoping you were telling me the truth,
because I don't know what we're doing here either.
But this should have been out of the box, right?
Yeah, it should have been out of the box.
Maybe let's see if we can get a hold of John,
see what he says, and try again.
Yeah.
Take 17.
We just talked to John Bittler, who built this carburetor, IRD,
and he said it's possible that we got
something jammed up in the needle and seats,
and it's just bypassing it, and that's why
it's spitting fuel into our bucket here.
so we gotta cycle the key a few times get the pump come
on a few seconds off back on a few seconds
and then tap on a needle and seat
and see if we can get them unstuck and the fuel to stay in where
the fuel needs to be and not in our bucket
because if it's coming out of here we fire this thing up
and the turbo's on it's all gonna be bad let's get all of you
so we gotta get this figured out
first for sure all right let's see what we got you
ready Tom you're gonna cycle it twice all right
not yet not yet do it
again we're getting
we're getting fuel
in here now it's
running in here
here put this rag in there maybe cylinder has got
a lot of fuel we definitely need to try it
you want to cycle it one more time it's coming
out it's coming out again that just means the
bowls when we just emptied them just filled back
up now it's doing it again we need to pull the
plugs out so we got the same problem is that we need
to try to turn this thing over well i would
said we need to fix this problem oh yeah
and then pull the plugs and then turn it over yeah well we
got a bunch of fuel in there now well i yeah for sure we're
also getting fuel inside the carburetor
which is going down the runners into the cylinders
which is not good either so once we get this issue
fixed gotta pull the plugs out spin this thing over get
the fuel out of it and then hopefully
we'll be able to fire it up all right josh listen here's
the deal we've been trying to get this
thing running for four days now
and you just called me over here you said it's time it's time
we're dialed in everything's sparking like it's supposed
to spark it's sparkolating and it's ready
to roll yeah you pretty confident we'll find out you know you texted me
the other night you said
tomorrow it's going to run
and that was three nights ago it was two nights ago calm down but
you're pretty sure now well we got all cylinders firing okay
on the correct deal so as long as
the timing sequence in here is inputted correctly we should
be good all right let's do it i hope
nah hell with it fire it off relax tom just
fire it off i'm tired relax i think we're good
tom's fired up goodness gracious he said don't
worry about nothing i want this to fire up me
too me too oh that went
the wrong way i i it went
both ways that time what
josh listen man i'm tired
of it tired of it tired of it what are you tired
of i'm tired of this thing backfiring i told you
we need to put a bullhorn on the carburetor since it fires out
the carburetor more than fires out
the exhaust i know let me try one more reference
angle real fast you change the reference angle
yeah that where it was that last night
and if that doesn't work i'm gonna retime it just put
the reference to run instead of on yeah i wish get
on pop oh okay on off pop got it turn it the
the way now it's still
it's still coming out
the carburetor
yeah it's changing
timing all right
well we're back over here now unfortunately i did
not get the first fire up and the reason for that
is i went through two terabytes of storage videoing just
the starter rolling over with no success so
we finally just uh gave up and and josh did just get it fired up
and josh i want you to tell us
what exactly the problem was because we had a few problems
which started with the return line
was too small and it was pushing stuff out
of the carburetor we couldn't figure it out
so this regulator um so we have a dash 12 an feed line
for this carburetor um when talking to john
doing a fuel system and um my fault
on that i should have done more research but i had a dash
8 return and it was just bottlenecking the fuel
so it just spiked the fuel pressure even with
nothing on the spring it would just skyrocket 15
to 20 pounds of fuel pressure so i redid the fuel
return line to the dash 10 um that is now stable now
so we can actually control the fuel pressure
and then trying to fire it we've been fighting
so a lot of people if they don't know this was
an original LS harness okay that we hacked up
to retrofit for a small block forward firing order
well we had two coil packs that were swapped around we got
that figured out so we have one
and seven was firing separate
because we finally did get it kind of running the other night we did
and it's it was missing or misfiring
and and basically when we try to read the timing on
number one plugs it was like 270 it was saying like 290
and obviously if it was really out that
far it wouldn't run at all yeah yeah exactly
but seven was firing in place of one and one was
firing in place of seven
so so then this morning yeah uh pedro came he fixed that and then tried
fire we weren't even getting any crank signal
which was crazy so i was going through the um
the sensors and everything like that and one thing
that we never really messed with was the
the crank trigger sensor the voltage to that was 4.7 volts
and that is a 0.5 volt signal
so i switched that and it literally just fired right up i heard it
in office and i couldn't
believe it i couldn't believe it either i thought you guys did
a charger ev thing on me with
speakers out here trying to trick me it
was actually it was actually running yeah and it
like sounded good i'm like man i was so relieved
because i was very close to giving up i was done
like i was gonna have to i don't even know what i
was gonna do i was gonna jump off the roof of
the shop or something i was i was done i was so done
this is it's been fighting me every step of
the way but we got it figured out there's still
a couple things we got to do but it runs well i
think now we need to do that it runs obviously we don't have water
in it yet let's check the timing
which we'll do now make sure it's close
which we want roughly 30 degrees what we're aiming for
right and then we just bled the brakes tom helped bleed the brakes
and then the hard part's going
to be i think once we do this little bit
of stuff we're about to do i think we need to go in there
and look at our budget and see
because the car is done we don't have to spend more money it is done
it's done and i want to see where we're actually
at real numbers yeah it is what it is it is like
it's i know we're over i just want to see how much it's
not bad i don't think it's bad and i
think we're going to be fast yeah
and it's it sounds good does it i just barely hear it crank
up from the office i didn't hear it for what it like i said
for no carburetor tuning or anything
like that like it sounds it sounds really good let's try
this thing up, check the timing again
Josh, ready Tom? Yeah, see what we
got, see if this works, I think it
will now, right? Maybe you got a
fuel pump relay out, fuses out, yeah we had
the fuse, basically we're taking it in and out that way the
carburetor didn't get full
of fuel since we basically, uh yeah, we didn't want to fill them
could never get it to run, it was just, yeah we pumped
the motor full, we actually ended up having
to change the oil because it filled the cylinder
so full of it looked like fluid, oh it was bad
we've been through it with this one, Josh
this has been a rough one, I have never had a car
fight me as hard as this one, no this is bad, we we get we had
a better shot getting Eagle running
and going threes, than we did getting this cheap car
Well, at least with Eagle, honestly,
that is a more common setup than this.
No, this is wild, but that's why we did it
I know.
And the cool thing is if we go fast with this,
it's going to be cooler than just going fast with an LS with injectors
and this isn't what everybody does
This isn't a cookie-cutter car.
No, this is not, and it's showing us that right now
Yeah.
All right, let's see what kind of timing we got.
All right, go ahead
Fire in the hole
You ready, Tom?
Yeah.
What's that?
thought this thing ran, Josh, what'd you change? I didn't change nothing
but just put it on there
got it, you got it, you got it, what'd you do? all right
that's it, you guys do have speakers under
this thing somewhere, don't you? I didn't
I think he did, he tricked me for sure
oh shut up, shut up, shut up, shut
up, shut up, you got a bunch
of fuel leaking somewhere
it's coming out of the vent, yeah, did you shut
the fuel pressure, is it a 16 volt battery in there or 12?
16, and there's 10 pounds
of fuel pressure, oh yeah, it's too much, okay, yeah, we need to take
can't, is it all the way loose, all the way off? we need
to put that 12 volt, is it all the way
loose, Josh? okay, so the next problem we have
is these uh carburetors a little different than
injectors and with this pump it's kind of finicky
with how much pressure you want and with a 16
volt even with the 10 return we still got too much pressure
and it's coming out, so we're gonna
have to swap back to the 12 volt, try again, all right, instead
of swapping out the battery to the
12 volt right now, what we're going to do is since
the bowls are full of fuel, we're just going to
fire it up with the fuel pump relay out, yeah, that way
the fuel pump doesn't even kick on and we can
hopefully check
the timing, all right
Josh, go ahead, why
is it what we want it
sounds good when it's
running
but it
don't
like
to
fire
up
sounds
good
that
thing
sounds
rowdy
it
sounds
good
that
don't
sound like no stock LS with a turbo
on it now it don't sound like a boat it still it still doesn't
sound like a boat yeah doesn't sound like
a dump truck at all i like that tom what do you think
you excited about this yeah i'm ready
for this you know what's cool about this car tom
you know what's good about this car
if it drives good i'm gonna let you drive it you're gonna let
me drive it yep you want to drive it into the trailer
no let's race it yeah i'll race it i
mean you can we'll go to test you can test it yeah you want
that'd be fun all right see that get
to race something yeah tom's been wanting
to drive something down the track so bad s10 was
all you let me drive well that's
that was a good top fuel tom yeah the silver s10 we had pedro wire
this car for us and he did a great job wiring he's actually
been here helping us troubleshoot
the last few days unfortunately chasing all
this stuff that we actually didn't even need to chase
we had to undo some of the wiring
which he's going to come get this stuff straightened out
I think we're going to get another harness right, Josh? Let's deal
so we can make everything nice
clean and minty, it looked really good
when Pedro did a great job and he got it to us quick, but
unfortunately we had to kind of go through here
and troubleshoot some stuff and and check make
sure everything was firing like it was supposed
to now we just got a little bit of wiring to redo
there, uh, what else you want to do, Josh? Let's see
if we can idle it down a little bit, what's it
idling at now? 1800. Where do you want to be at, like
a thousand, twelve hundred, about twelve twelve
hundred. All right, you got the flathead, that's
a good thing about this, we just need a flathead
screwdriver, crescent wrench
and a hammer. You're right, you got the, you got a flathead and a hammer
Tom, oh, you did, you already turned it down, that's why you're backed up
because you're just in case
it pops, got turned on and off, you never know, Josh might hit something
on that computer and file in
it or not, the pop file all
right, Josh, that sounds
crispy, now that's good
that's good, that sounds
good there, Tom, oh
that sounds good, that thing
sounds good, where's James
at? Lock him in, I'm
just kidding, we better be careful, we better get
this we just got it fired up yeah it sounds good
though look at that even the cheap FIS turbo still
spinning after we shut it off it was even after we
shut it off and that's the cheap one there that's
that's that's the budget FIS that's the dumpster
deal dumpster deal and you just it still spins i know what
do you have look at those brake lines
josh dude that's i'm telling you man danny is a freak of nature
when it comes to this danny is
the brake line magician that's crazy even our cheap
car has the nicest brakes you will ever see
the brake lines are awesome
and we did put some travel limiters on here these are actually troy's
you guys have seen troy on the channel he's the one
that drives evil he's got innovative racecraft
he said well i got these aluminum travel limiters
which are really nice we actually use those on all
the cars and uh that's why they're on there they look really good
and they're i don't think they're
that expensive they're not they're like
a hundred hundred some change yeah not bad so we got travel
limiters up front which we probably will need we're gonna flip
this thing over backwards when
we try to go a 130 130 i think we can get one teens out
of it yeah i think we get like a one
even on the slicks maybe not on the slicks we might have
to take the radio on her yeah we got
some takeoffs from Eagle, oh that's true we could put
a takeoff from Eagle on here and what wheels
do we have here? These are the Summit brand Pro
Star-ish wheels I guess, how wide are the rears
do we know? 10, they're 15 by 10s, 15 10 wide, okay 15 10 wide
so we got 10 wides in the back, we do
obviously have some stuff we still need
to address here, you can see our our boost tube is not going
anything that could conduct with any kind
of pressures, right? Right now we just got a big
leak right here so we got to fix that, we need to do some tuning
and we will get to the dyno
hopefully maybe next week we get to the dyno, next week get
the track the week after and we're ready
to do, we're ready to do an event with this thing, I
am ready, I know Josh might run this thing a
little gangster if it'll run fast enough, it's gonna go five thirties
and eight, I think we can
get there, we'll see. Now the biggest thing
is you guys see what we got, it runs, it sounds killer and
we are close, this thing is almost done, we gotta put
the front end on, some other stuff, but the
thing we need to do now, we need to go in there, we need
to look at the board, I've I've just spun
that thing around backwards so I don't even see how bad we
are, but we need to go in there, we need
to address it, we need to see where we're
at real real money on everything like we started and we
need to do, uh basically the Cletus rules
and see how we look on both sides of that and then it is
it is the car is done we spent the money we can't
not spend it now it's too late so let's go look at
that and see where we're at so we added the stuff
that we just put on since the last time we've
shown the car and the stuff in black would
be considered safety if we're going by Cletus's rules
and the stuff in blue is not safety
so we'll have to add that so what i want to do is two totals a
total with the blue which would be um blue
and black which would be the total cost spent on
materials cage seat everything oh seatbelts seatbelts how much
are seatbelts uh those are
like i want to say they were i have to look
and see that's safety but uh i think they're like
two they gotta be 250 a piece
or something right yeah yeah Simpson cam locks all right so what i
want to do is add up all the numbers blue
and black and that would be the total if you were
building a car in your garage
and you're capable of doing everything minus the wiring because we
pay somebody to do the wiring that's what you would spend
but then also if this was the real world and
real numbers you would subtract what we sold
and these are extremely fair numbers i mean we didn't
get i sold those wheels for 200 it's
the best offer today yeah it takes the wheels so we didn't
get much for those engine 1200 so we'll subtract that 15
but what would the total be total numbers
actually what we really have in it total all what you know what
that is josh let me do some math
do some math so we're at 16.2 basically for all
of this so you just have to add these and that
will give us our total total total members 200
so you want to do everything right yep okay and
to be fair the steering wheel if you guys were going
to build it you don't have to buy a steering
wheel that costs that much and you could buy some other cheap stuff
but we that is what we spent so
want to make sure that's what we had what
is it 20,143 20,143 and then if you minus what
we sold which would be 15 20 18
6 23 18 6 53 23 23 23 23 so really
that's still not terrible and
those are numbers without the safety
so when we do the safety numbers yeah should be a little bit
better but if you wanted to build this car
at home cage material catch can fuel cell seats seat
belt seat mount steering column expensive steering wheel
that's what you would spend yep that's
really not bad that's really not bad now you would have
to know how to do quite a few things and that
be basically nobody helping you
and i know we did have more people help than just myself and josh
but all the things on this list besides wiring are things myself
and josh are capable of we just
didn't have a ton of time
so we that's why we didn't add like labor for stuff again if it's
something i don't know how to do i will i would add it yeah
but that's uh that's it all right so
now the numbers for the cletus rules would
be let's see cletus so basically what we would do
is take that 18 6 23 and subtract uh the blue
because that's safety well so we gotta add 15
oh because he doesn't okay all right
so i'll add 15 20 back so we're still gonna be way over so
okay so what do i need
to subtract 300 300 90 90 398 398
and 500 500 18 8 55 18 we're in worse
shape that way 18 8 55 yep all right
so this is the rules people probably want to know because
that's where we're going to compare against Jack Stan Cletus
and Ty as far as what they're
spending i know Jack's fan somehow
is like way under budget man listen i don't know how i mean
he's kind of in the same boat like us suspension wise
because that car's got motor transmission
no suspension that's true that's true we're the same way
so all right well that's not bad that's
really not too bad 1885 188 55 is what we're
at and that also does include the tuner though
because that's what we agreed to when we bought the carburetor
which is on here right 1550 yep
ird 1300 1300 i'm sorry don't get us in trouble now it
was 1300 right 1300 okay all right i
screwed up so that's the number we're gonna get
this thing dialed in get the front end on it make
sure everything actually functions right through the gears
and the next time you guys see this
thing it's gonna be at the dyno we need
to get it tuned i don't know anything about these
carburetors thankfully we'll have John John Baylor
from ird himself helping us tune it and then
straight to the track so we get some passes
the goal right now is low eights and we still got to
do this once we get a front end on we'll weigh
this because we had a we need to see where we're
at because we know that we got to be here
this was our goal from the very beginning if we can be at
2700 race ready no driver i think we're in good shape
and we're in good shape now jack stands like
2300 or some crazy stuff for that little 240
that's he's got to figure out that's why he's
building those 240s he knows what he's doing all right well
that's gonna do it sorry it's been so
