Verry nice clean shop and racecar.

[@midnight347]

The teksid 4v 4.6 went real fast on stock parts too. Stock crank, block and stock style ported heads. Similar to this. Coyote is more optimal stock but built vs built the 4v 4.6 teksid can hold its own. People are amazed the coyote does this but the teksid 4.6 was also making huge power in a similar way using stock parts long ago. Not enough "Ford guys" know about that. 😊

[@sixfootdworf9545]

​@midnight347 are you talking about the 4.6L ford V8 Modular? I know that thing was a beast for it's time as well. The Koenigsegg CCR, built it 2005, (when V8s on average made between 250-350HP) they took the Ford 4.6L mod and stuck a big supercharger on it. Made like 800 peak horsepower. For the time, that was crazy. This car went on to break the world record for "Worlds fastest production car."

There was ppl making similar power with the 4.6 teksid block from the 90s using their stock crank which is also forged back before the coyote even came out. It isn't really doing anything the 4v hadn't already done the coyote is just newer with more tech and more optimally set up from the factory obviously but built vs built the old teksid 4v can hold its own with any of them. They been deep into the 5s stock crank, stock teksid block and factory style ported heads. Same type deal but with less tech and it was done back before 2010.

When this came up in my feed, I knew by the title that it was SnotRocket's Engine, but I didn't know it was your channel. It sure seems like you have all aspects in your racing program pretty much dialed! That's quite evident by the close relationship you have with your engine builder. When you're pushing the limits like you are, both the racer and engine builder must heavily depend on each other on open communications with each other and agreed operating parameters! The Coyote Engine platform just never ceases to amaze me. Maybe someday I'll get to build a street Coyote engine. I just love how SnotRocket makes the launch look so damn easy! Yeah she freight trains like no other, I just think the launch is the most impressive aspect!

[@raipanda133]

A lot of people are comparing this car to Mullet, but there’s a lot that people don’t realize with that comparison: Mullet wasn’t originally designed for what it’s doing now. The chassis was built for a jet engine, and so a lot of optimized suspension and chassis setup wasn’t there until a few months ago. The El Camino platform is not as efficient as the Mustang platform. Take Mullet’s current powertrain and put it into something more efficient like a Fox Mustang or a Catfish Camaro and you would see drastically different numbers. Brett is a dedicated racer. All of his content is this Mustang. He doesn’t have a track to run. He doesn’t hold events, he doesn’t have multiple cars. He has talked about the massive amount of testing he has done with this car after every little change. He has more passes in Snot Rocket in the last two years than Cleetus has in Mullet entirely. When is the last time you saw and of Cleetus’ cars on a hub dyno? Brett has every nut and bolt in this car down to a science, and honestly Mullet isn’t like that. None of Cleetus’ cars are. If Cleetus spent 6 straight months doing nothing but perfecting Mullet, then maybe he could get mullet down to a 6.1X second pass, but that’s not what Cleetus is about, and that’s ok. Comparing Snot Rocket to Mullet on the surface is just dumb, there’s so much behind the scene stuff that goes into play that it doesn’t make sense to compare them.

[@ChuckThree]

Time = Money Brett has invested, what most people would consider, an exorbitant amount of time into his 6 second car. Garrett has invested, what many people are considering, an exorbitant amount of money into his 6 second car. Cost and expense are relative to the means in which you measure it. Ultimately both dudes haves used their particular talents to fund reaching a similar goal.

[@Patrick-is4ym]

Yea, it's really not fair to expect a Steve Morris built all billet 572 cu in, 5000 hp SMX, tuned by Pete Harrell to keep up with a 300 cu in, 2900 hp, with factory heads, block and crank Coyote engine. It really is an absurd comparison.

[@raipanda133]

@@Patrick-is4ym Is Cleetus finding the limits of his combination? Is he finding the perfect suspension tune to put the power down? Has he has Mullet on a hub dunk to let Pete perfect the tune? Take away the fact that the mustang is objectively a better chassis, and you still have one guy making efficient power and another guy making raw power. Comparing the two on paper only tells half the story. That’s why it’s an absurd comparison.
