[@Metigulous]

Just wanted to say, thank you to everyone who has been here while i have been super busy with work. Thanks for all the love and support, we will be making passes very soon!

[@woodgrain18]

You killed that shit!! Looks awesome!

[@crowntsp]

What size power wire is that looks kind of small

[@tomcelica]

Just wanted to say, you’re welcome. And if you gap your rings to 7 thousandths per inch of bore, you should be able to run 4 digit power numbers all day long. 125 hp per cylinder isn’t so much for an LS. Make sure your tuner understands WHY we run rich at higher hp levels so he can tune accordingly.

[@BOOSTJUNKY]

7's or bust!

[@paulforrester4057]

Sick job, well worth the wait. I’m sure you will be going low 8s

[@paulforrester4057]

U should get your injectors cleaned if e85 has been in them for 2 years

[@Whitt_Built]

Badass my guy. Intro montage was sick

[@Metigulous]

Thanks bby ♥️ Missed not having you here for the first start

Can’t wait to hear you do some sick burn outs!

[@jakecrary9357]

I've ran rotella 15w-40 for over a decade now, in everything from high boost high RPM engines, and low power air cooled engines - daily drivers and track toys. It works amazingly well, and the detergents and extra zinc is great for turbos and bearings. I swear by it. Plus, it's cheap (like me 😁)

[@bolt_husky]

Rotella has been decreasing their zinc content for over 5 years now. It’s a shame, cause I haven’t bought it since. Now, I just buy whatever is cheapest/on sale and then I buy a case of Shell Zinc Additive to add to it.

[@jakecrary9357]

@@bolt_husky good to know! I haven't noticed a difference in anything honestly, but I also only run the standard. I had read they changed up their synthetic formulas a bit but nothing about the conventional

[@Alex-vz2jz]

I've been baited lol, still a cool build. Was really looking forward to seeing 8 rotors and how'd that workout

[@beauskimartini6924]

Congratulations man what an accomplishment!!! We finally get to see that race between you and Kyle

[@RaceBrosCarlos]

I’m cringing at you touching the titanium with those dirty ass hands lol so that’s why you had me clean it 😂

So is VR1 and better oil.

[@Grimm-Gaming]

If its good nuff for Derek "VGG" its good nuff for Hayden .

[@hartiaacres]

Well done!!!! From what I have seen build wise. You won,t have any issues hitting that 7 . Fuel pump and injectors seem to be the biggest limitation with most builds. Looking forward to the next video. Been following the whole time. One of the best self build LS projects out there!!!

[@harrycrisp8897]

Just came across this channel randomly and my god that car and those welds are gorgeous! I’ll definitely be sticking around for the content. Keep grinding man.

[@Laner84]

Yes mate! Loving this! It's been a long time coming dude! Can't wait for more updates! You've worked your ass off for this cant wait to see you enjoy it!

[@jordansrc8483]

Congratulations man 👏👍 Now let’s see her hit the dyno.

[@davidcorzine8120]

Awesome man can't wait to see a pass!

[@Codizz88]

Dude...for big cables just put the ring terminal in the vice, take a map torch and heat the terminal up good then start feeding solder into it, once its liquid quickly dip your stripped cable end into it, voila.

[@rodriguezfranco3839]

This car is so dammn cool brother congrats on it !! Thanks for all this content

[@crazydog2580]

man I been lurking for so long to see this car back on the streets congratulation mate keep the videos rolling when ever you get time

[@racerx2084]

Awesome job so far. Crazy how much everyone has progressed since doing the KZbin videos. You guys started with off the shelf stuff from autozone and now are making rad rides built all by yourselves. So cool to see young talent get better and better. You guys are doing not expecting and that’s what is making the difference.

[@okobojian1860]

Your right, to go from 11s to 7s in 4 or 5 years out of 20 year olds. In there own shops, darn proud of these young 💪

[@FPMGarage]

Love this car!! Only seen the odd video think I might go back n bindge the lot. Is there a video on how you did the colouring on your ti intake pipe?

[@andrewm066]

Right on man! Bout damn time! Good job!

[@lonewolfinc]

Let's Go!!! great work man glad to see you fire that thing up now its time to let it eat!!

FINALLY THE RX7 IS BACK!! AWESOME JOB MAN 👌

Loving the super dope intro! Felt like a music video lol

I guess I need to finish up the twins on the E30 now so you can have some competition at Ice Cream Cruise...

Man I miss seeing you and Wyatt together in these videos with the “sup fuckers” shenanigans lol. Always cracked me up. Nice work on the intake it looks incredible!

Hello, checking back in to the channel after a 2 year hiatus 🧤

[@lancemiller9866]

There's meticulous and then metigulous guess that's the difference in months and years lol jk glad to hear it start up

[@mihailpetrovici5044]

I remember when everybody was saying rollcage and you went a 9 by mistake and then everything started for this

[@ripnsoar]

Finally. Love it

[@BassManBobBassCovers]

Beyond stoked to see this build running again! Surprised you're not showing that intake tube off more that thing is incredible.

[@justaguynamedmax8207]

You have done an amazing job on this car. I been following since the start when it was still rotory lol

[@MrMadkaw400]

Looks killer can’t wait to see you take it to Florida

[@karlo_111]

A glimpse in your mind with this build 👌🔥💯

[@schmbrt96]

So being in the diesel industry I always used to use rotella and alot of people I know did as well, but recently I feel like it has changed. I've noticed on my truck and others that are running rotella they have more blow by than before. I switched to Delo and blow by is gone. Friend had to change his semi fleet over to Delo as well for same reason. Though once new engine is built I will be running Hotshots oil.

[@harrycrisp8897]

How did you get the piping all rainbow stripes like that? I know heat with titanium and stuff, but yours almost looks like a graphic. How did you do it?

[@Op1zilla]

Sounded good boiz, ggz

[@bryanroupe8646]

Bro please show us how you did that last trick on coloring the titanium. I know how to do it the usual way but how did you get the pattern colored like that?

[@marvinvisser5039]

Let's go Hayden!!!

[@criyojocustumizerwinklaar9646]

joww best intro ever man good job

[@srtfernie5975]

Sheeeeeeeeeeeeshhhhhh! Good shit I’ve been waiting for this

[@gordkostyk1794]

looking great

[@paulforrester4057]

Hayden , I’ve been watching since day 1 , you should be proud of your work well done. Looks stunning. I hope one day you will have a Texas speed engine like cleetus

[@austinwenger79]

love ya man much love

[@jspear1222]

Yes run Schaffer’s

[@woodgrain18]

As long as your running gas or e85 I'd run mobile 1 that's what I've always ran but I swapped over to methanol last year and started with Shell rotella but now I run Royal Purple nitro plus I've had the best luck with it

[@onementality9781]

You’ve got the car ready and it looks great so now it’ll be nice to see where the power plant ends up

[@chicagovasko]

After waiting so long to see it run I don't care putting putting expensive oil. I wish a great day Metiglious.

That intake is a work of art.

[@nickspall4552]

Looks wicked mate

[@orionfpv613]

That thing blinged up boi

[@justaguynamedmax8207]

If you put a big glob of grease where you are drilling, it helps capture most of the shavings so not as much gets in the tank. Makes cleaning out the tank easier and keeps the chances of some getting missed down.

[@akasecrets9980]

Congrats on getting it started bro, can't wait to see it run ........ is that Charlie behind the camera ?? Nope my bad. it's mustang Larry 😅🙏

Rotella 15w40 is fine. Used in my companies fleet. Mechanic forgot to put oil in an Impala, did a 3hr run with at least 30mins of idling. Put oil back in afterwards and still used the car until they sold it 250k additional miles later.

Just trying to help. I would ground the block straight to the battery, run a power wire from the alternator. Each should have its own post. Also run a 8 or 10 gauge wire off each head to the chassis. I really enjoy your channel..

Race oil probably would help a tiny bit, I don't know if it's worth the extra cost to you but if you don't have cats a zinc additive makes a big difference and is totally worth it.

For oil I would say Hot Shot’s Secret adrenaline racing oil 20-50 it’s a solid price and great stuff. They actually back up their products with facts and the science to show for it. I use their stuff in my drag car, it’s a small block Chevy with some laughing gas 😉

[@brandonhaywood3391]

The built 4G63T guys run that oil all the time.
