Just a few days left to get merch and help Cleetus with his bill. 5 percent of every order goes to paying for his bill and that monster in the box 🥵. Cjracecars.com

[@brianbeilmann2992]

Man the engine is going to rip in that car. Every once of power is going to the ground and what you have planned for suspension. I can’t wait to see it fire and then take its first drag rip. Cleetus is going to up his maintenance game with that power. 🤪

Man, hopefully your subs go up even more. You have one hell of a quality, detailed channel with an amazing team that appears to love what they do. I can't believe I've never discovered you prior to cleetus.

[@johnralph3109]

I cant believe it took Ole cleeter for me to find this channel. Haven't missed an episode since the start of eagle. This car is gonna win alot of events.

[@keysrick]

Cleetus steered me here but you shifted into one of my favorite channels. The quality of work from your crew is on an completely different level then anything else I have seen online. I can only compare you to Mike Patey's work in the aviation world but he hasn't posted much lately. Thank you for your dedication and for sharing your incredible skills with the world. Keep up the awesome work...I can't believe you haven't hit the 100k mark yet but it won't be long now. I'm looking forward to receiving my "American Made" t-shirt and will wear it proudly.

[@mortalityrated1495]

A buddy of mine's dad has a PLR Hemi in his 78 LeSabre. Those are the real deal! Eagle is gonna scream!

[@vehdynam]

By now most of us have seen Cleetus's engine video , and it looks awesome. I must say the video work is equal to the skills of your team , very well done. Looking forward to the next chapter of this fantastic build series.

[@CJRaceCars]

Big progress coming soon.

The bead rolling is so satisfying to watch

[@AustinAkin]

I knew about you when you built Justin’s car but never knew you had a KZbin channel. Definitely enjoy watching the channel. You guys go into amazing detail as to why you do this or build the car like that instead of just throwing everything in time lapse. Definitely wish I would have known about the channel sooner! Killer job

[@mckrackin5324]

Cleetus has been laying down the hints and clues heavy for weeks. lol

[@2873lonewolf]

The question is, will the Hemi be Procharged or Turbocharged? I'm guessing turbski's, Garrett seems to like them.

[@CotyD]

@@2873lonewolfhe’s literally said it’s going to be turbos from the start.

[@CarsCatAliens]

@@2873lonewolf The intake that is on it is for a twin turbo setup. I personally think procharger would have been the way to go with a proline hemi as you dont have to sit there and spool em, worry about charging the tune with boost curves,cutoffs etc... But,.its not my 80k+ engine or car lol. I hope he goes Fuel tech over holly but I believe he has them as a sponsor.

[@DSRE535]

What a great working environment man good job I work in a shop so I notice the interactions between all of you guys and it’s a real positive healthy work environment and that allows these guys and their creativity to really shine and it also allows you to get the best product possible so good job for treating your guys right!!

16:55 it’s good to see that even the pros dip the tungsten from time to time!

I was just going to comment for the algorithm. Then wanted to add I appreciate that there is no silly music and time lapse sections. The quality fills the video from beginning to end.

[@fastrid]

Okay seriously CJ, how do you have videos as high quality, maybe even better than, old Spike TV car shows with not even 90k subs yet as I write this post. I like Garret/Cletus and his videos but overall yours are higher quality than even his. I hope your other clients let you make videos like this of future vehicles because I think many of us will stick around if you do.

[@CJRaceCars]

We have tons of stuff in the works for this channel 😎

[@johnnyvegas2343]

Why are you comparing Apples to Oranges?

[@danielvannuland2681]

Because cleetus usually uses an iphone to film. Like it was said though... apples to oranges.

[@Watchmedome3017]

This chassis is so dam clean! Holy shit. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Transparencies-EST.1787]

Info on their new engines PLR’s most powerful and reliable Hemi engine platform just received an extensive update with the new Raised Cam design. Improvements include; a .650” raised cam, ability to run a bigger cam core, shorter pushrods and revised rocker gear assembly which all combine to add stability to the valvetrain. Larger head studs were added to the upper row to increase clamping force on the head gaskets. Also, the inner head stud has been eliminated, so now you can remove cylinder heads without removing the intake which saves valuable time between rounds. In both Turbocharged and Centrifugal Supercharged applications, we have seen a significant performance advantage in favor of the Raised Cam Hemi over our “standard” Hemi. That, combined with the improved valvetrain life and the overall user friendliness of this engine have made it a great choice for our max-effort drag racing customers.

Just want to say, The Proline Hemi doesn't exist without AJPE. I just want to give a HUGE SHOUTOUT to Alan Johnson, and his late brother Blaine, ( RIP ) who has pioneered TFX for the past few decades! They are located out here in central California out in the farm fields of Santa Maria. Most Top Fuel teams use AJPE products because of the reliability and performance. As long as Cleetus follows a strict maintenance program, this engine will never fail.
