I think if you are going to put out a 10 minute video 2 days in a row, I suggest just waiting until you have content and put them together. I am a big fan but since you decided to sell everything and buy property which I'm in favor of, your videos have really gone down hill. Seems like you are just expecting your fans to watch whatever you put out and continue to follow. There's a reason VGG is number one because he never puts out fluff videos.

[@DDSpeedShop]

I'll try to be better. Might cry myself to sleep tonight.

[@tomgodfrey5891]

​@@DDSpeedShopthe content on this one is good. I like carb tuning stuff

[@Tall_Texan86]

​@DDSpeedShop you doing just fine Dan it's your channel you put out what you want. Crazy people complain your not putting out what they want to see.🤦‍♂️ that 55 is awesome keep up the awesome 10 min vids 😂.

[@GWBergen61]

Well actually Brad that video was near 18min, just saying. 😢

[@trentdawg2832]

Keep doin you dan!!! Tell the others you wanna see some of their productions and builds if they wanna gripe about how you run your channel

[@ralphhayward5693]

That waa something. As soon as John touched the carb, you could hear the motor settle down. Lots to learn still, Dan 🇨🇦

[@kevindonnelly27]

You're lucky to have John as an advisor, very cool.

[@Ray-tf2fl]

BIG JOHN!!!knows his Chevy z💯🏁

[@Zazu2You]

John knows his stuff. I love those tweaks he made to the carburetor. I guess he’s not big on towing, lol. Cheers!! 😎

[@jameshall4385]

Its amazing how friendly people are when you hand them a pile of cash😂 john seems like a really great person and it's cool to see people stand behind their work. He's like an old fashioned doctor making house calls

[@DDSpeedShop]

Yeah cash greases the wheels haha

[@kevinl.2291]

It’s always good to have people like John around. There knowledge is priceless. This thing sounds amazing. It’s time to unleash the beast. Very cool Dan. 👍😎✌️

[@pugliesesspeedshop]

I dig getting to see the technical side of things... And to watch John tune it is AWESOME!!

[@Stupidfastracing]

Nothing beats the sound of a Big Block Chevrolet 💪

[@daddysbrokegarage]

Hmm.. idk a 340 Mopar screaming at 6500 sounds pretty damn good to

[@DDSpeedShop]

Couldn't agree more

[@clstjam4321]

John brings a whole new dynamic to the channel. Definitely someone worth listening to and I'd love to see him start his own channel.

[@terrybrunson8596]

Dan keep doing what you’re doing ! There not a channel ,that’s doing what your doing that you have done period. BIG Washington State fan…

[@tammydurbridge7089]

its great watching wisdom at work

[@carguytroy]

Dude is like a mad scientist! Tweaking that carb! Love it!

[@Dowin-o5e]

For towing Dan, you`ll need an engine oil cooler. Also, Moroso makes oil accumulators that add engine oil capacity. Great Job Danni and Dan and John !!! Rave - On - Everybody !!!

[@MrIgor1955]

Can't wait to see the car on the road!

[@jasondoss2651]

John is a legend I watch those drag and drive events he is amazing

[@marlonbrown1461]

We all need a John standing in the weeds when we need him. That guy amazes me with a screw driver in hand and a carb in front of him!! Love watching him tune a carb. I've learned a lot and have a better understanding of how to tune the carb on my 440 Dart.

[@OzMike]

The video I've been waiting for 👌 I love the thumbnail too. Dan concentrating with all his might 🤣

[@longjohn77]

Always a pleasure watching a master of his craft at work

[@mikepoint4717]

The OG 55 Chevy is the best .

[@mthomas317mt]

I’m not going to lie - John is awesome. I absolutely love the episodes with him tuning .Dd speed is so lucky to have a friend like that 👍

[@mixerman1]

A few turns on the screws and John had his baby purring. Carry on kids, can't wait for the road trip vids

[@lindzee924]

John is amazing❣️The dude knows his stuff !

[@skiphughes7705]

How many 4 speeds does a guy need? All of them

[@bradywilliams2666]

Exactly what I was thinking before I hit read more. LOL

[@jamesf4405]

Dan, Daniel my brother!! That wideband made John's job 100x easier 😂. Ok, time for advice from an unknown cancer patient on the interwebs.. 🤓.. I'd add 100-150 rpm to that idle speed. Why? Changes in air temp and humidity affects things. A little cushion never hurt. Plus, it keeps the oil moving. Second, my Super Sport has an 8qt oil capacity. Enuff said? No one ever regretted having too much oil. Especially towing a trailer. Great job on this car! You rock! Signed - Your friend, Cancer guy! 😊

[@glennmanchester5696]

Your right on all points

[@jamesbizelli8568]

I’ve gotten in the groove of looking for your comments because you’re loyal and have good advice and kind words to say you seem like a good guy and that works for me carry on🙂

[@DDSpeedShop]

You ain't wrong my friend

[@RandyH-qf3dc]

John is awesome. So knowledgeable. So lucky to have him in your corner. I assume you are thinking about towing a very small drag and drive trailer. I get the concern, but that can't be much drag on this beast. Unless of course drag and drive really means no wheels on your support trailer. I think I'd pay to see that. 👀

[@dogpatchfab]

sounds so good!!! Pay attention Dan...

[@roymceachin7409]

Made an awesome friend in John . That’s priceless Dan

[@DDSpeedShop]

Agreed

[@rheidtech]

​@@DDSpeedShop Yeah careful to not be an uncle tony and throw him under the bus. Lol.

[@matthewschneider2089]

Dude!!! Fun video!!! Your engine guy is bad ass!!!✌️

[@mark8lifestyle322]

Dennis Taylor made Tri-Five fiberglass front ends professionally and has build a lot of race cars!

[@kevinwright1551]

Awesome tunings. To the 55 Chevy. Keep up the great work.

[@wizardind3203]

my mind is doing over time i can smell the exhaust ,i had a 396 w a L88 cam the sound makes me smell it

[@hellonwheelz3317]

A T5, Gearvendor & 600 hp sounds like a real good time.

[@Odawg3709]

Love when John comes to “tune”!

[@sammylisasmith2104]

You guys are great working together thanks for your time

[@SaneCayne]

Wow, so cool such a tuning legend is working his magic on your engine in your garage, Dan! I was star struck from way over here.

[@1944chevytruck]

WOW! AWESOME!

[@andrewelliott4890]

Love the videos, P.S you cannot beat the engine builders and tuners like John Ens top notch dudes.

get a two quart filter for it you get an extra quart with out changing that pan out (wix 57620 for instance}

[@111000100101001]

Ah Yes, the “school bus” filter as we used to call em. They do hang way down so check that the filter isn’t the lowest point :o

[@buchanansleeve7427]

@@111000100101001 you could also use a oil filter relocator and use that 2 quart one in another place.

[@terrymott8581]

Dan's August just got a whole lot better.

[@ronsherfy6291]

John is the new talent and sending Dan back to school! 😂😂😂

[@kb9oak749]

That engine got with the program quick when John entered the chat.

[@archiebald9500]

I made the suggestion, now John has also. You won't be disappointed with a Muncie or t10 in front of the gear vendors. I had a t10/ gear vendors in my Stude pickup. The best!! Wide open throttle, no miss shift.. And overdrive.. Bite the bullet money bags.

[@shanewright6958]

Let’s gooooo. It’s time for another great video 👍👍

[@toddjohnston4788]

Great video, thanks Dan and John 😊

[@pb5778]

Thanks for sharing this video with us

[@steelmill]

It's killing Dan to stop talking.

[@stevenhicks8625]

Yeah interrupting is the new smacking

[@rheidtech]

He needs to. Lol

[@TorontoModifiedKarKlub]

Yup. STOP TALKING. lol. Bla bla bla , bla bla bla. lol. Lot to learn from that builder. Sit back and listen.

[@terrybrunson8596]

Don’t knock him ! Taking is a big part of his work , goes hand in hand… Would you want his videos to be silent…. Not Me

[@hippydippy]

I love John. Is there any videos of the drag races he talks about?

[@BudFranks-fu9ye]

My god😯that sounds so good. John is the motor master👍💯

[@johnkranz4004]

Very KOOL Good work John and Dan Dani

[@bensymington5550]

❤❤ love your videos awesome content😊

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

I'm not so sure about towing anything over 800-1000 lbs with a good convertor, it's gonna get HAWT! But you do you and I'll just look forward to the new content it brings. ;)

[@xozindustries7451]

Hayden makes a really nice plate fluid cooler, I’m using two for my 8.1L, one for oil one for transmission.

Dr. John dialing in the horsepower. ❤️👍🤍👍💙👍

So Dan that's all cool. 600 hp idles @ 700rpm. Take it to the track ? Get some ets then make your adjustments 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😎

With John tuning it Dan not gonna keep his licenses long lol

Sounds sick

You can see some arcing all on the passenger side

👍👍👍

[@johnroof2663]

It's too bad y'all are up there in Canada because I've got a stroker 351 Windsor bored and stroked to a 414 cubic inch.I blew it up ate cam shaft. That motor was pumping out close to 500 horses in a sixty eight Mustang. I sure could use John's expertise.

[@40beretta1]

everyone in the States have to remember. you have to cut the Canadian HP in half for exchange... plus subtract another 25% for GST 🤨🤣🤣

[@mikeburnett7028]

According to GM service manual, big block Chevy’s require 6 quarts of oil

[@CrazyWillie01]

Darn no DD Speed Shop today

[@AdventuringwiththeS.G.O.C.C]

Dan, you may not want to call that motor a "drag" motor, but remember 30-years ago a motor exactly like that was setting records on the water and the race track. Old school is better school.

[@01chickenpickin]

Till old school meets fuel injected turbo mate

[@AdventuringwiththeS.G.O.C.C]

@@01chickenpickin I will ALWAYS choose a blown alcohol Big Block over new fangled stuff.

[@DDSpeedShop]

​@@AdventuringwiththeS.G.O.C.C agreed

[@supernovaVII]

I don't think it is possible to have too many cars with 4 speeds!!

[@hippydippy]

John know his shit. And as far as "How many 4 speeds does a man need?" Come on Dan! It's a replica of the iconic "2 lane black top car", so please explain how just 1 more 4 speed is too many? It's like building the "Vanishing Point Challenger" with an automatic or a Hemi instead of a 440 4 speed pistol grip! It's sacrilege brother. 😉

[@JakeWeddle-zo4xv]

I'm 51 and have thought my whole life they were called gear benders, not vendors 😂😂

[@georgeleech2709]

Dan ,you are getting external spark at the distributor

[@prettydog37072]

Dan looks a little intimidated by John. I would be too

[@edpoell2876]

John and you talking can get very technical fast and the jargon isn't totally speed shop spec but you make a good point of hiring talent where you still need education towards your shop's construction of hot rods. I'm certain when Chip Foose started he was trying to do it all himself, at the beginning just for economic reasons like any small business. If you want a six second entry into drag and drive events sporting the DD Speed Shop logo in the most Dan"ish" decor you might have to find even more local talent willing to do video teaching you how to do those fine tunings, dialing in the performance and style you desire. You've already plugged Princess Auto at least a hundred times so why not email them an edit of the mentions and suggest that gift cards could help increase the use of their product lines and consequently they'll get more advertisements on your channel.

[@IronChief]

I have only one word to say, frame connectors.

[@bat5917]

Automatics are faster and a lot more driver friendly on long trips and in traffic. Get a lockup converter and no towing issues.
