Chucky Episode 11: How to lose 200 lbs!

[@VMPPerformanceTV]

What do you think Chucky will run with the new mods? Tell us below!

[@BeardsandCars]

make a run just with the weight savings before spraying the nitrous ..so we can see what that alone did

[@Laviathan50]

I think a 150 will knock about 1 second off your N/A E/T

[@400hpmustang]

Every 100 lbs. removed is like adding 10 hp. and it's maintenance free.

[@teresayoder7375]

I really like your focus group

[@brianstuart4203]

Would removing the bumper supports affect the rigidity of the car?

[@Laviathan50]

I'm really glad your going with spray, especially since KZbin's already saturated with forced induction with little to no Nitrous builds so I'm happy to see it. I'm the only Nitrous powered Mustang on the space coast that I know of because everyone scared to touch it due to irresponsible people

[@negativesplits06]

Leviathan 5.0 Hmm I don’t think people aren’t buying nitrous because they’re irresponsible. I just feel if you’re gonna spend that much on nitrous, you might as well save up for boost. You don’t have to fill bottles up all the time and the power is there whenever you need it. Additionally, I feel like those who buy nitrous didn’t have the money for boost, but that’s just me. I’m not against it, but I feel boost is the way to go.

[@ToxicatedValentine]

Been waiting for chucky videos!

[@poorboy3136]

Stock exhaust is heavy... You guys put the stock wheels back on 😎🚗💨💨💨

[@kickstand99]

This is styled as a weight cutting video. You start with shopping for and talking about a nitrous kit. ??? Turned this off.

[@Wicked_and_Syk]

THAT MUST HAVE BEEN THE SAE LOSS 183 VS THE 200 STANDARD LOSS LOL

[@davidketchum9459]

How about a 1 piece aluminum driveshaft to cut a few more pounds?

[@400hpmustang]

That's rotating mass, a 20lb savings by going aluminum actually equated to 80 lbs.

[@NITROUSnBIASPLYS]

Well how about that, big high five to Justin for putting a wet kit on Chucky! Next episode will be awesome 👏😎

[@DikeLover]

Can you do one for gen 3 coyote 2018+ s550

[@ricardosimon1975]

Do one showing an s550 GT

[@joebloe2553]

did the same thing to my '12 GT and it is weighing in around 3225 with 1/2 tank and a passenger seat.

[@carleynorthcoast1915]

Is this a fifth gen with a engine swap? What year is it? BTW this car has no front sway bar? so it's just for drag racing?

[@lifeonmars03]

Love this!

[@dre04mach]

You guys didn't remove the front swaybar and replace the radiator/swaybar support? rookies! :P That's a cheap one. Then there's tubular k member, wheels, driveshaft, and that's about it for weight removal unless you wanna get crazy with gutting the interior.

[@rileyneufeld7001]

And if prices isn't an issue, race brakes

[@VMPPerformanceTV]

We removed the front sway bar in a previous episode when we were prepping for NMRA Bradenton!

[@dre04mach]

@@VMPPerformanceTV Just found that vid, good job! Did you get a light weight rad support, without the swaybar mount? that shaves off some weight as well.

[@VMPPerformanceTV]

We have a pink one laying around from the #tvsqueen's car...

[@xXBurntBaconXx]

This is absolutely perfect! I'm planning on running the same kit at 150shot. I want to strip the interior, slicks skinnies, and the goal is to run 10.99 or less.

[@VMPPerformanceTV]

Stay tuned for our next episode then, it'll be perfect for you!

[@xXBurntBaconXx]

@@VMPPerformanceTV I'm not going to do the bumper deletes, but will probably take out the door panels and passenger Air bag. Are you guys able to remote tune a nitrous tune? How would that work? My car is a daily driver so I want to limit my nitrous useage for the track to try and preserve my engine.

[@VMPPerformanceTV]

@@xXBurntBaconXx - yes, we sure can. You would need to purchase a VMP Level 3 tune. We will start you off with a naturally aspirated tune, get it dialed in, and then send a separate file with appropriate nitrous timing. Feel free to reach out to our support team at: [e-mail] they'll be happy to walk you through the process.

[@xXBurntBaconXx]

@VMPPerformance. Oh sweet! I was planning on ordering your 2018 Ported Intake Manifold + throttle body + intake + tuner. Are we able to get the Nitrous tune then before I purchase the kit? I'm thinking about 2 more years before I spray

[@DiamondSportsTraining_]

Skip the throttle body, no gains to be had on a non boosted motor. Save the money to use towards the nitrous kit

[@cheko4440]

Is there a problem removing the center elevated metal in red when you take your seats off (between the seats)

[@sbkickz504]

Will yall sell any parts taken off chucky?

[@taylormayz6398]

Ayooo😅I have the same car same color and named it chucky also then I came to look for weight reduction videos and I see this 😅🤦🏾‍♂️

[@mrcwoodworks4523]

Remove the motor and add a small Honda motor that weighs less

[@MasterKeyMagic]

It wont have any torque

[@justa5oh136]

What’s the reason why you can’t spray before 3000 rpm? What does it take to spray of the line ?

[@dre04mach]

Nitrous is not gradual like boost, it's very constant in the amount of fuel/gas it delivers. So below 3000 rpm it would be like having a blower push 30psi, when all you're trying to run is 10.

[@justa5oh136]

dre04mach ah so basically there ain’t enough fuel and air to support a 150 shot to a safe stoic level before 3k? Can you get away with running a smaller jet under 3k and then 150 after ?

[@blk00gtvert2]

Thats only partially true the main reason for not spraying below 3000 is there isnt enough port velocity to keep the fuel suspended in the air stream. It tends to fall out of the air stream a puddle which puts fuel in the intake and a lean backfire condition at the valve causing a nitrous backfire.

[@justa5oh136]

Matt KesTie ouch thanks for the reply... food for the brain.... so what’s the solution to spray front start?

[@blk00gtvert2]

@@justa5oh136 idealy you have a high enough stall converter. (Like chucky) or if you have a manual, high enough launch rpms to spray out of the hole.

[@TonyM-zi9rq]

Chucky is now officially a stripper.

[@VMPPerformanceTV]

😂🤣

[@treaco89]

No regular person driving a "street car" is going to remove the mirrors, bumper supports, and run no exhaust. This is a bit silly.

[@Spiritcr1jsher]

Junk the stock exhaust and wheels for another 80lbs . The wheels are rotational mass ....

[@VMPPerformanceTV]

Did you watch the episode? If so, we did drop the stock exhaust. 🤷‍♂️🤔

[@Josefrancisco1224]

Take the engine off too

[@VMPPerformanceTV]

🤔

[@mrcwoodworks4523]
