The whole methanol thing confuses a lot of people here. It's not common in the US. Not like Aussie land. I'm trying to help people understand. Also applies to not needing an intercooler with a turbo.

Holley rocks! Or at least they did years ago. I was trying to dial in a 600cfm 4011 series on my original Monza V8 (262.5ci or 4.3L) and the accelerator shooters were too big. Called them up and they transferred me to a guy. Asked me what I was trying to do and what it was going on. I asked if I could *buy* a undrilled primary booster Venturi because I wanted to put smaller nozzle shooters in it. He said: " That engine and that cam is a combination I've never seen before!" "Yeah I used the older 600s and could tune them with the replaceable shooters, cams, clipped secondary springs, etc. Had to dial everything down a little. What I want to do is put the smaller nozzle shooters in this one". He says: "Wait a minute". So he comes back and asks for my address. "Ok, how much is the part?" I'm gonna send you two that have only been drilled partway if you can drill the outside part straight and to size for the nozzle". "So how much?" " Free, man. I designed that carb and that's something we never thought of!"

B P , Why do you need to see his pad (house). He has a young family. He doesn't have to show anybody his house. And if he does show people his personal home, some people will work out where it is and he will have fanboys turning up unannounced like they have at the shop. Just because you watch him almost every day of the week and it may seam like you know him. He deserves to be left alone. Especially in is own home. He doesn't know any of the creepers that would just show up. Plus inside his home is his space he doesn't have to give no one a walk through.

But this new engine paid for it did its job and what they asked of it now it gets to rip Ruby for a while till there is just no more life in her I think you should let me make you a case for it so you can put it on display in the breezeway at the freedom factory somewhere after Ruby is done with it that is

You guys should run exhaust heat wrap to keep intake temps as low as possible... Just a thought. Can't wait to see Ruby make a pass. HELL YA BROTHER!

[@MrLemacxes]

Wow ruby sure has come a long way since the auction block where you snagged her. New motor and turbo kit look tight, clean, and ready to rip. Killer job fellas.👍

[@halnywiatr]

The heating "trick" is well known. The other half of the hack is to put the shaft into a freezer. As the LS is too big to put in the ice cube tray, the hack is to hit the shaft with a CO2 extinguisher.

Think Cleet should give James a week to bring his projects to the shop an have everyone help finish his. He busts his ass for u Cleet, an worked off that nice trailer you bought him. About time for another present!

[@chelaycoax6185]

@DDAA I follow him on insta and he's wierd with his cars. Hes not even putting the 2j in the supra anymore

[@Sm0kEyX420]

DDAA I said nothing about Coop, he puts in no wrench time sells merch only because James build's this stuff from top to bottom. No disrespect to Coop but James makes every thing Cleet thinks of physically possible. Coops sells t-shirts of what James has built! Coop has plenty of time to build his own stuff, see what James does with his stuff after hours.. Coops Supra (gift) is still sitting there with barely anything done to it. Way more respect to James!

[@darley04]

@@Sm0kEyX420 Being a bit harsh. At a guess the work that Coops does in the background is probably the reason this channel gets to do what they do (&) have you watched this [kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3eon5tqnLp7rbM] Seems that Coop's put in the hours away from the channel & just because there is nothing on the channel doesn't man that nothing is happening on different fronts. Case in point, all the talk re James and this video has come about because of this video, if the video wasn't done then no one would be the wiser.
