I let my mom wear my original OG SAW hoddies and she said I'm not getting it back. She said "it's so soft and keeps me warm where's yours? Cause this one is mine now" 🤔🤣 She's one of the people that are always cold. So that speaks volumes about the quality of the hoddies. I guess I'm gonna have to buy another one for myself.

Such a sick car. Everything from the stance, wheels, paint, side pipes, monster motor, etc. I would daily drive the heck outta that monte. Ooh baby

Ohhhh Yesssssss My Best Monte Carlo

[@MM_in_Havasu]

Oh hell yes, love the idle sound on that beast-----not super rough but choppy in an authoritative manner and reeking of horsepower. You have some fuel delivery issues to sort out, but, all in a day's work! Saw the post this morning, gotta watch and see what you all have going on back there in NC! The T56 will make it even more badass! I'm with you guys, sure do love me some hot rod engine videos! Thank you & Logan for all that you do, and for another great video for all of us to enjoy!

[@pr23t97]

Mitchell, that car has has the best sound! I like how the person running the dyno gives a "simple, easy to understand explanation. Cars would not be any fun if nothing needed to be fixed! Y'all are doing grreat!

[@johnsnow1355]

I want to duplicate the side pipe idea on my trans am. Have a viper style side exhaust exit.

[@evelkoloski]

i love how Logan is like "Replace the pump!" bigger is always better in the pump department.

Logan with the logic FTW!

Can't wait for the 3 pedal content. The audio clips banging gears with that exhaust will be heavenly

This brother is not stupid he knows numbers bring concrete results. Stape gotta get Logan a small 4x4 drag truck or car. Man that Monte it's definitely a contender.

Ol' Ralph such a beautiful car, so many Gremlins. After seeing have all the issues you've had with this car it's to be expected that there would be something. But now you know what to fix. I love Ralph and I can't wait to see you get it completely dialed and ripping. By the way great job on the fan wiring Logan.

I love that car. You make awesome videos. Logan is not only beautiful but she is really intelligent. You to make a great couple. When are you going to build her something to race other than the go-cart? Keep up the good work.

That was an important dyno day, the Monte would've hurt a piston otherwise when you went to play with it hard, saved a bottom end rebuild right there!!! Having a live wideband to watch can also be very handy when making power so maybe you can lift in time to save some pistons!

[@tomkeppler1717]

I think your lucky to have Logan and that she shares in the same passion as you. I think you need to do a video of your history together and how you met. Maybe you already did and I missed it but I don't think I did. I always enjoy your videos

I use the cheap digital volt meters from amazon. The ones that mount in the cigarette lighter hole. hook one to the fuel pump wires. Put a camera on it and go for a ride. You can put one on each end of the wire to check volt drop.

Mitchell, I know you try to provide a lot variety to your content. I'm a NASCAR fan and can appreciate your nod to NASCAR and the legends. But I have to tell you, I'm much more interested in your build projects and anxiously await the next videos on your builds. I also miss your drag videos. There is a lot of NASCAR material out there, but only one vlogger making videos about a MC build, the LSXCALADE, Uncle Rob, and a nasty moldy Rolls Royce. Love these videos!

[@Stapleton42]

The truth is lately I haven’t enjoyed turning wrenches like I used to. It feels like a chore when it used to feel like an escape. I’m much more satisfied inside when I dig up some history for the time being. I’m super glad you made this comment and shared your perspective. I hope you’re able to be patient with me because builds will come back soon. We about have the shop set up.

[@rickbranka671]

Just stated watching your KZbin stuff and that's the reason for my late post on a year old video. But I gotta say I like your content. However, when you make a "fix it" video, you should really refer to parts by their correct names like "headlight bezel", or "headlight bucket" instead of that ringy thing, or spring thing. With so much BS content out there, correct terminology just reassures me that I can trust that you know what you are talking about, unlike so many that just want to see their own posts. However, at the same token, with 237k subscribers, I guess you don't have to prove yourself to me !!! BTW...those old school headlights are known as sealed beams...LMAO !!!! Keep on keepin on Bro... you guy's rock it !!!

[@Stapleton42]

When it comes to stuff like that taking the time to look up the proper name for it doesn't help me get it done or improve the finished product lol. Spring hook goes back in hole = headlight doesn't fall out. Good enough for me lol. Welcome to the channel!

I like the escalade, and the sleeper aspect of your other builds, however this is by far my favorite. I still can't wait for the nascar wheels, even if you gotta trim, it will be worth it.

That was a cool shirt

[@Janky214]

I had similar issues with my tanks inc and 400lph walbro pump. It would have fuel starvation issues. I also ended up upgrading my wiring to a 10ga wire and i would have to keep the tank at 3/4 or full. Especially at the track. Anything less and on launch the fuel slosh would cause starvation. Turns out the tanks inc tanks aren’t properly baffled for efi as advertised. I ended up installing a fuel cell with a in tank holley fuel pump module and a new 400lph pump problem solved. Now this may sound dumb but what was your fuel level at during the dyno session, speaking from my experience…

[@Stapleton42]

It wasn’t a full tank I know that. Thanks for the information that’s helpful. We will change the pump upgrade the wiring and make sure it’s full full next time we hit the dyno 😂

[@Janky214]

@@Stapleton42 if you have any questions let me know, we pretty much have similar combos. I too run the BTR PDS stage 3 cam. When you get all your bugs worked out this beast will be a low 10, possibly a high 9 second land yacht. Easy 630rwhp to 650rwhp combo. I’ll be more than happy to share my tune file (hptuners) if there’s any data you can use off it.

[@madcowmark7129]

Pump 3 is goodluck you think? Hey Guys, was the GTO on the lift a Holden Monaro from Australia? Have you ever watched Tahoe's and Turbos? I think that's what it's called, on some of the earlier videos, he would advertise your t shirts he bought from you and in some messages he says how you inspired him to do what his doing. I thought you all were friends until he told me he didn't know you. Go and give him a thumbs up, but only if you like his video. Poor young bloke doesn't get to many views He swears alot but his heart is in the right place Might have to order the new t-shirt in the next week. Cheers Mark Australia.

[@Blkslvr18]

Most A body cars are at most roughly 3800 lbs and at the lightest roughly 3500 stock. They are large cars but not really heavy cars. They didn't get heavy until all the safety stuff started getting added in 75. There's a ton of open empty space between the frame rails of a lot of pre 75 cars.
