When your daughter asks to put clips in your hair, the answer is always yes. same with painting nails 😂

[@beanzz801]

100% .... Shit, even make up! Lol doesn't matter to me when it comes to my daughter!

[@jpiz224]

I'm against the nail polish and makeup for my girls. I tell them they have to wait till they get older, but I do get them the nail polish stickers for their nails

[@whosaidthat5236]

I don’t mind the hair styling and clips... lol mainly because my hairs short but I don’t let her paint my nails or do makeup, lol that’s what her nails and face is for

[@revredbeard3289]

I’m probably never going to be tuning a Terminator X 5.0 but just in case I get the “Is there a doctor in the house?” moment I’ll watch and try and learn something. 😁

[@jpiz224]

When your so early there's no ads lol

[@The50Baker]

Never realized this.. Takes a little time for youtube to add the ads?

[@jpiz224]

@@The50Baker I don't know how it works I assumed sometimes he forgets to click the monetize button. But I could be wrong that's why when I see I, I post it and then wait a couple minutes to refresh the video.

[@michaelallen2501]

Man, you could start a Playlist of nothing but your in depth tuning stuff for nerds and I'd watch every one multiple times. I just want to learn!

You can make your own playlists by naming a folder and saving these videos to them. 👍

[@michaelrivell5659]

Electrical and tuning are the fears I have with building a fuel injected vehicle. I would love to see more and more on this. The way you explain things I seem to comprehend them better than reading or better than some others I found explaining it. I know so much is experiance that takes time. It's overwhelming. Appreciate the small tutorials you have done thus far. Keep it up

[@flipfloptanlines926]

Familiarize yourself with PLC Logic controls systems. Almost all PC based programming systems Holley, Fueltech, Allen Bradley (industrial/mfg). To simplify they all work on the principal of Inputs, Outputs, and Control. Learning this will not teach you how to tune a timing map, but it will give you a greater understanding of how computerized control system work. O and if your carbs stubblin on tip in i cannot replace an accelerator pump ona carb over the phone.....but i can fix a tip in with a couple keystrokes from wherever. Dont have fear, Fuel injection allows anybody from anywhere give you a hand.

[@otm646]

Things have come sooooo far in the last few years. There's not much to be worried about with these systems. They do a good job at not letting you hurt the engine. Jump into it, you won't regret it.

[@foamdataservices]

Also there are systems like the Sniper that are self learning, you get the economy and simplicity of EFI, with some power gains too in the right set up, but you don’t need to get into the computer at all if you don’t want to. Combine that with a solid state ignition system and any old car can be switched over. There are pre made plug in harnesses available for common swaps and vehicles. All the plugs are labelled or uniquely pinned so you can’t screw up plugging them in.

[@chrismadaj8751]

@@foamdataservices were is i go-to place to familiarize a place to start learning on how these systems work

[@gusmarrero6030]

Good morning Kevin! Great Thursday morning excitement!

[@A1chem1stGaming]

Love the tutorial stuff! Just wanted to give a tip, there is a free computer program called OBS that let's you capture your computer screen as video.

[@checables4045]

I have a 5.0 ford in my 01 falcon all the way over here in Australia with a Holley terminator x on it and I've been waiting for this. Thanks Kevin

[@ronjlwhite8058]

sorry B is for Build....KEVIN IS ON!!! KSR for the win!!!

[@SquarebodyKid]

I just wanna suggest when you do videos like this maybe try to do a screen share feature and overlay with a face cam if you want. Great content Kevin, keep up the hard work man🤙

[@itsZZZ]

Hairclip on the hat 😂😂😂

[@MegaJeffmann]

Yes please do more videos on this I’m going through this on my Mustang right now and it would be great

[@zacht2137]

I don’t own a Holley let alone a Ford but I found this incredibly interesting. Keep up the great work.

[@MarlHellbringer]

I am not currently building anything but I am always wanting to learn things. I learn a tip or a trick from every video. Thanks Kevin for posting this!

[@crudnick]

Kevin we need more shirts!!! Gotta do something retro and in your face!

[@davidyates748]

I'm never going to own a 5.0 mustang, or a terminator x ECU, but I still watched because KSR content is always interesting. Thanks Kevin !

[@Bigmarshall88]

@KSR Performance & Fabrication If you're wanting to share your computer screen so that we can see what is going on, you may try try a program called OBS/Open Broadcaster Software. A lot of people use it for streaming to twitch but it works well to just record video and save it to the computer.

[@justinbermingham2198]

Kevin, you should put a little plastic down on the towel and then put the laptop on the plastic. Youre smothering the computers fans by sitting it directly on cloth like that. Thanks for all the great content as always!

[@Phantom0309]

top tip for sharing your computer screen is to download a free program called 'OBS' and it will record your laptop screen through the computer instead of the camera

[@Stan_V]

Don’t have fox body or 5.0 or terminator x, but i definitely am gonna stay for this video 😉 Go Kev we are behind you!

[@darylnicklen3685]

I don't understand all of this but always enjoy when some one explains what they do and how to they apply there craft. Thanks Kevin

[@deuce9624]

5.0 mustangs sound sooooo goooood!!!!

[@brettguy5285]

I’m not sure how it’s done, but I’ve seen other KZbinrs (Eric at South Main Auto) connect their computers or scan tools directly into the video. It helps us see the screen much better than trying to look at the screen through the camera. Just a tip, especially if you do more tuning videos. Keep up the great work!

[@wobblysauce]

There are a number of screen recording software out there but requires an editing change also. vs the point and shoot.
