Just drill a hole in the axl and thread it and use a puller to get it out

[@UnDeadBan749]

How much was that 4-inch drive shaft that you put in the demon? I have a Scat Pack with a 309 rear diff and I've already broke two or three driveshafts because they're all two piece so it definitely needs a one piece driveshaft and I just can't seem to find one that fits and affordable. It's tricky because i swapped it all to a 2013 charger

[@zeex8936]

Hey Lee, you happen to be looking for a set of seats for a Dodge challenger? I have “Mopar” from a 2019 dodge challenger scatpack shaker if your interested let me know!! I also have the touch screen radio from the same vehicle

I can’t agree anymore! Probably a bunch of haters? Or a lot of people hate on reconstructed/salvage cars. They don’t need KZbin’s money. They are probably making really good profit on these cars. They have paid alot for some of the cars over the videos, but just suck. You used to be able to steal cars from copart for peanuts. Wish it was still like that but too many people know about copart now.

[@Clutch_Kick187]

With that power and weight of the car you MUST pre-load the driveline, get a hydraulic handbrake to hold the car while starting to slip the clutch to get the slack out of the driveline. Then release clutch and handbrake together and you will have waaay less problems with the launches/clutch dumps..

thats pretty quick for a vert NA mustang. you must have fbo?

[@petetofani4896]

You need a new sticky tire to help with wheel spin, and perhaps some suspension changes to help transfer the weight to the back wheels. All in all, you have done a great job saving a totaled car from the grave.

[@DuR-TPiJ-N]

Reminds me a bit of a hopped up El Camino from another channel... All sound advice you gave, all I can add is to try relocating things towards the rear and the obvious: get bigger tires. Also, wouldn't a functional wing in the back create some downforce if setup correctly? That alone could make a noticeable difference.

Great video Lee!

[@LeeC]

Coming from the king of great videos!

[@justin.c_svt]

Great video. Nice work. The Drag Radial is meant for an Auto. A slick would hook much better and the sidewall will wrinkle on a slick better, absorbing the hit and it will be less likely to snap axles and the driveshaft.

[@ashleyarmstrong47]

And this is why they were only fitted with an auto trans. The autos in these cars can be programmed to launch the same every time with the least damage on the drivetrain. This is particularly important with applications with hard launches like in a factory drag car.

[@midnight347]

With a manual it's on the driver

[@SilvaDreams]

Well the first an most important part is he upgraded the engine but never upgraded the drive train and axles. You can't just do one and not the other. It works just fine for the stock engine but he's given it a lot more power so it's out of the "intended" power it had to handle.

[@seemssafe2995]

1000hp isn't exactly a ton more. It's a shame dodge cheaped out on those components ​@@SilvaDreams

[@IanNubbit]

Was thinking about just this. You would think the Clutch is the weak point. Nope, its the driveline. Wild

[@SilvaDreams]

@@seemssafe2995 They didn't cheap out, it's engineered to meet the power of the stock engine plus some (as they offer an upgrade package that they'll even warranty). Over engineering it would mean they would have to pass the cost on to the buyer and make it more expensive.

You can pull the Diff bolts on the Mercedes GL without a problem. It's just a ZF part and the dodge guys couldn't fit it differently. Not really bad because normally you wouldn't have to remove the transfer case bolt

3:09 rear end ratio is a highway rear.Go back to the 3:73. With that rear, you got in it. I'm sure you can go over 200 miles an hour now flat out

[@keenanmatthews1208]

Watching this suspension is quite enlightening. looks like it squats vs hammering the tire down. try some hoosier slicks and some traction control settings on the holley. with slicks its okay to spin a little.

[@LeeC]

That’s exactly what I did!

[@MarkPetch-e1j]

Wow that’s very impressive, never ever I have seen that before

[@7seriesmax]

One of the big things I’ve learned from tuning high horsepower engines like that you have to trick them to make them think that wide open throttle is sometimes as low as actually 5%. Then as your RPMs come up, you slowly bring your throttle percentage until it matches at a point where it’s not gonna shred the tires. From what I’ve seen with hellcats that’s usually around four grand before they can handle all the power. with all that extra power, you’re probably looking somewhere around five or 5500 before those tires and that chassis can handle 100%.

[@mistersniffer6838]

" wide open throttle is sometimes as low as actually 5%"??? That doesnt make any sense..

[@devinjuliana9779]

Bro thats crazy i feel bad for u guys. Great content keep up the good work!!!

[@goblinphreak2132]

I DARE YOU to swap out mufflers for a pair of 3" cherry bomb vortex mufflers. No, not the red glass pack they are known for. The vortex. You will LOVE how they sound. Trust. And they're cheap. They flow more than typical cylinder style mufflers, closer to straight pipe but obviously doesnt beat straight pipe.... But you retain less volume in terms of sound. And the tone is times to drop an octive or two. My 05 sti with the vortex muffler sounded silky smooth. Quiet at idle and decent volume at full throttle. And the tone, dear god it was pure ear orgasm.
