I’m not a hater, but this is kind of a “sellout” deal. You talked bad about these before and made me even question why I was using them so to see you make an ad all excited to use them surprised me

[@devinbuchhorn]

I cant believe you got these as a sponsor! I love these things!

[@fearvisonz1633]

I was wondering how long until the lz world tour shirts get shipped, I bought one when they came out and it hasn’t been packaged yet

[@eirejdm9192]

Adam is the cosmo build still happening?

[@HellcatDreaminJosh]

Adam LZ Awesome Video I'm glad you ran a 9.87 in your Barra Swapped Shelby GT350 and I can't wait to see how much faster she can get

[@campbellmcgrannachan3859]

Gotta take cleetus for a rip or let him take it for a rip

[@Christophers1.8]

Cleeter could get that mug into the 8’s within a week

[@RussellBrosGarage]

He’d find the weak link for sure!

[@jesset061084]

U have to let cleetus work on it so you can do 9’s or Better

[@thewitt76]

Him and Jackstand could get it down the track faster or help diagnose, James' knowledge is immense

[@brianrobinson9979]

Adam doesn't want Cleetus to brake them comfy stock seats like he did with the Datsun 🤣👍

[@ryanq3897]

You should definitely do a drag and drive once you get it fully dialed in

[@hvinup]

Agreed

[@oldblood_eyes]

[@daveyanderson6166]

He would be stressing the whole time. We all know how much of a perfectionist he is.

[@MstreetDriver]

too much time to dedicate for one thing with questionable return given he doesn't have car of mullet caliber

[@alexsanchez8406]

It’s crazy to see how far this car has come

[@IamByzer]

Respect for getting yourself into the 9s especially with not that much drag racing experience. I’m sure if Cleetus or James were to be there you would have gotten more pointers to get into the deeper 9s knowledge is a huge factor with drag racing

[@Hobbsthetiger]

I’m sure part of Adam wants to master it in his own as much as he can too

[@IamByzer]

@@Hobbsthetiger absolutely. That’s just how he is. But he’s also really good at taking in advice from people with experience as well.

[@mleolv426]

Who woulda thought it was harder to zoom in a camera than it was to break into the 9 second bracket.

[@itseric1jzson]

Adam's face at 13:13 when he realizes the cameraman missed the first 9 second pull

[@itsamooncow]

I love how once every quarter or so Adam starts going to the dragstrip. Great changeup

[@Barry.ONeill]

Looking forward to seeing it with the shocks working ⚒ 👌🤙💯

[@lewlingar9524]

They are working

[@blueoemsi]

It’s also been hot as hell in FL. Cars haven’t been performing good with the humidity

[@justinh6120]

It’s the torsion diff causing the excessive sway up top. When you shift, it unloaded the diff and power alternates between the wheels. Torsion diffs are great but not for stick shift drag racing. Load needs to stay applied.

[@michaelvlcek1766]

Amazing to pull a 9 with a manual and a circuit style gearbox! I'm sure I would have got a 9 even earlier with the ZF transmission but this is way more rewarding. So glad.

[@jasperturpin4891]

been loving the content recently, can’t wait to see what numbers the gt350 and the datsun can really put down!

[@jakedavid7966]

Loving the drag content should definitely take this thing with Cleetus and his crew on sick or drag week 💯

[@rockbiterhd]

Well done the mighty Barra

[@yashtag7778]

would love to see cleeter drive this thing so you can get him to put a bara in something too

[@mitchell5064]

Barra burnout car, Couldn’t get more Australian

[@ethanlollie]

0:56 good man keeping the stickers on the tires 🫡

[@jonm515]

Have you looked in to a clutch slipper valve? Not great for drifting I'm sure but for drag racing it's amazing. They're also adjustable so could potentially just leave it on the car an adjust it when you need to

[@kotajames6211]

Dooood I LOVE the Barra Mustang!

[@ScottyBSim]

So good hearing that Barra sing!!!

[@nocoasthero1204]

That has to be the Barra in a burnt down GT350 world record ! Congratulations

Respect to you man, you’re an inspiration to me

[@stevenmarvo2620]

Hey Adam In Australia we have 7 second passing Barra's on the 1/4 . Talk to the guys at Dandy engines in Melbourne Australia Keep pushing the Barra Cheers

[@6226superhurricane]

its the gearbox holding him up not the motor.

[@Ltbookum]

Sean's filming was hilarious😂 The Mustang has plenty more left in it; next step some skinnies, a clutch release valve and a (long) road trip to Cleetus and and the crew to dial in that launch. And for the 4 rotor; get a good digital vacuum gauge. The manual ones are hard to setup right. Find one in the motorcycle world where they are still common. VacuumMate is a durable one found in a lot of shops and I found very nice to use. And a good oldschool tip on getting a good baseline at idle; use a needle to adjust the throttle body's to at idle position (so lay it under and adjust accordingly). This way they all get a equal gap and (if the housings are of good quality) equal vacuum. Often 1/2 are linked as the baseline, 3/4 are adjusted to that. Doing it by ear might get you started but there's a lot finetuning that's really worth doing in using the gauges. And o yes the TPS often has a reset function in the ECU to relearn the range of it's TPS sensor(potentiometer) but you've probably figured that out by now😉

[@riddlemethis01]

Hey i gotta say the soldier stick connectors are awesome and a game changer. I love electrical work and they will definitely help. Thanks for the heads up. I just ordered me some

[@Warpigeonkac503]

I love it. Adam- "I don't know what I'm talking about" Guesstimates his passes to within two tenths every pass

Camera guy, you had one job! Well done on the 9sec pass Adam.

[@kersa1995]

I personally love seans reactions, such a genuine friend! Keep him close Lz!

I feel like if you let cleetus race the GT350 one time he would bang out a 9,3 LMAO, Great job adam :)

[@travelin_taco]

Adam, you got a hit up Cleetus and get that launch improved. That bog is killin ya! Lovin the 350 content

[@ZeroFox1970]

In Australia you have to run skinnies with plies or slicks.🇦🇺 You also can't run 10s or under without safety

[@runespaze]

That’s true here too. Sub 10s will get you the boot without a cage and harness

[@j.d.8593]

@@runespaze (if you're talking about the USA) Not on newer cars, NHRA changed that a few years ago when factory cars started running 9's after they banned the Challenger Demon, cars newer than 2014 don't need a cage to run 9's, for 8's you still need safety equipment.

[@flatsixnut]

Obviously I'm a Porsche fanatic....but I have to admit...always thought V8s were the end all be all in street muscle. NOT anymore. I have become a huge fan of these straight 6 turbo cars. That Barra sounds so sick running out. This channel has definitely expanded my auto wish list.

[@von...]

Dude what if I told you that the fastest car at the last AutoX event I went to was a Camaro LT? there were multiple Porches, BMW M cars, Miatas, GT86's, Turbo 240's, MG's, even a LOTUS ELISE ON SLICKS! ...and the fastest car of the day was a FAST setup new-style Camaro LT lol It BLEW my mind, and changed the way I thought of American cars. I had literally never even thought about buying an American car until seeing that. it was in south east Iowa at some stadium, I will post the exact event & date when my homie gets back to me so yall can verify yourselves, it was INSANE.

those heat shrink tubes are no joke ! I used them to rewire my handlebars on my Harley

[@jessenudl7673]

You need to link up with the mechanical stig, his youtube is Benny's Custom Works. He has been drag racing a Barra Cressida for years and could help with set up

[@HoRRiiBLe1313]

Camera man is GLAZING right here. It wasn’t a good launch. Adam knew it. And you were still telling him it was good. Dudes squeaking while glazing 😂

[@swed_sled]

when you sync the throttles without a vacuum tool, turn the engine off, take a 1/8" drill bit a stick it the throttle blade of the master throttle and use another 1/8" drill bit as a feeler gauge to set the others. that way the throttles are opening the same amount. you can not feel enough difference just holding your hand over the throttles. this is step 1 with any itb setup before tuning but i use it to base line the throttles if things are acting weird.

[@css172]

Sean filming the sky - you had 1 job dude!!

[@elevatetmk3203]

The commentary for the burn outs gave this video more life with Adams disappointment to certain things at first but he pulled through 💪🏾

[@crazybone1992]

I think this is my favorite car from Adam's collection.

[@BigCool95]

hell yeah!!! could've turned the launch rpm up a hair to help with the bogging

[@mikellewis2346]

You got his bro man. Should definitely be talking with cleetus an haven him help you get were u want. That car's got plenty of power, just need to get itto launch an keep in power the whole time.

[@sn95garage18]

I probably would have went up a couple psi in the slicks . The sway goes away do a hot burnout and send it . I run Hoosier QuickTime pros at like 17psi and the car hooks like a mofo

[@benjaminmergele333]

Been waiting for that “ it’s a Great way to stay in shape” lmaoo

[@djkbrown]

Living the drag content, good to see your cars on the strip.

[@mikellewis2346]

Slipping the clutch is just what u need to do with long first gear. Some racers us a slipper added to the clutch for consistent launchs.

[@tyr427]

Should put an electric clutch delay valve in it, Magnus Motorsports makes one that takes a signal from the ECU when launch control is active and allows you to just dump the clutch and it slips the clutch to get perfect repeatable launches

[@15uzu]

Stop messing around with the handbrake on the start line and you will be in a much better place to launch. If you're having issues with rolling out of the start beams install a lineloc with a trip switch on the throttle. If you're handy with arduino microcontrollers you can trip the release with a voltage signal from your TPS.

[@alexm3182]

Hahaha not the glizzigang on the plate that’s fire if you know you know 😂😂

[@kinjy677]

More drag content than cleetus, im here to stay for this

[@darwonboyful]

Biggest issue you have is your running a gearbox and clutch setup that's going to take a heap of testing to get right. Many drag guys with manual boxes run clutch solenoids to control the clutch engagement. Maybe they might help?

[@ar_snl]

This is exactly what i knew this car could do. Complete Monster

[@Louisthefrenchie13]

Thank you Adam

[@andymills2985]

So cool seeing Americans loving an engine I have three of

[@mavisky]

The car literally has a drag mode that optimizes the magneride suspension for the strip to help promote weight transfer onto the rear wheels. Just used that next time.

[@ryanshnoztwazzle8605]

i doubt any of that stuff would be still hooked up considering he put a totally different motor in it

[@mikefeist5525]

Always thought that thing was a sweet build! Give your boy Cleet a call for some pointers at the track and you can get that car to the 9.5s no doubt!

[@stevenraymer6682]

I have those brother and they do work very well

[@woodenbeargaming5843]

Camera man shaun is my new favorite unlockable character

[@MillionairX]

If you do want to run a tire with some side wall while keeping the front tires on as is, run a mickey thompson ET streets or pro bracket radial. Stiff wall DOT slick basically. i cut 1.5 60s with a cam only ls1 and a t56, dumping the clutch at about 6400-6500rpm. over 6000rpm allows the tires to spin just enough that it doesn't dead hook but still rides out. i run 15-18psi in the tires, cars about 2900lbs with driver.

[@scottmoore6131]

If you’re wheel hopping you need to replace the bushings in the rear. Wheel hop comes from front to back movement of the wheel in the wheel well it looks like the wheel hops in a circle.

[@2jyeti909]

Mike needs to give booth some lessons on how to hold a camera 😂😂😂 congrats on the 9

[@ConiferConnoisseur]

A great way to stay in shape

[@robertd8164]

As an Australian my suggestion would be shorter diff gears. Try 4.11 or even 4.56 as a ratio. this will make first gear a lot shorter and allow you to be making the most of the sequential

[@kennethrudibaugh]
