Obvious it needs bigger injectors. And one of them huge distributor/Magneto from Killabee, or one like it. Nitro needs more/bigger spark. Then try 75% Nitro/25% Methanol, and 90/10% And if the engine hasnt died then, add nitrous!

[@nathanhatcher7096]

Thats awesome! So basically a 5-8 second pull cost bout $75-90 worth of fuel....so worth it to hear a 5.3 screaming freedom!!

[@RedfishCarolina]

If I understand nitro, it's self oxidizing, so adding as much as possible without hydrolocking the pistons allows you to reach ABSURD compression. I'd love to see what the spark plugs look like after this lol.

[@SpencerHHO]

Nitromethane is CH3NO2 so yeah it carries a lot of its own oxygen. It has the effect of raising volumetric efficiency because there is a lot less air (which is 80% nitrogen) in the cylinder allowing for a lot more reactants in the same space. That and it's also an extremely high octane fuel etc.

[@Technotranceism]

My thoughts exactly, I would imagine that the plugs and ignition system, aren't very happy!

[@andersjjensen]

From what I can read nitromethane has a lower octane rating than ethanol, but because you comparatively hose the engine with it the evaporative cooling makes up for a lot of that.

[@chauvinemmons]

Yes nitro has oxygen as part of the molecule with alcohol it may burn nitro it's not meant to provide oxygen mostly goes out the exhaust pipe nitro decomposers much like dynamite it's actually closer kin to TNT. Where do you get the real power issue fill the cylinder with more fuel than can exist at top dead center under massive heat and pressure it decomposes turning all that liquid into a gas that is your power if you have about 65 degrees of Mag lead 4 degrees 8 degrees 12 degrees of timing is not going to help. Run a hundred percent with about a 9 gallon pump you're liable to melt your Pistons if you had a real mechanical pump putting 20 25 gal a minute in and 40-60 degrees timing and 85 percent nitro in the the tank Now try that.

[@simoncox5297]

They melt, dragsters run 2 plugs 2 mags etc because if 1 fails when running it's detonation big time.

[@Chasefilmsthings]

When you panned the camera over after the 420 pull and Sam was standing there with his lab coat, it made my heart melt and made me smile harder than I have in a while. I adore that man and I hope to even be 1% as happy as him when I get to his age. He is a gem

I'd like to see an experiment w/ mid-temp lacquer thinner. 40 some years, a one man crew-owner-driver of a local nitro dragster showed me his barrel of fuel. It was mid-temp LT. He said it was the only way he could afford to play w/ his toy. Back then, a 55 gal drum of mid-temp was about $100; nitro was right at $1000. The temp is drying rate when used cprrectly, for thinning lacquer. We used it for years, 1 qt to 15 gal gas, to de-carbon '70's smog motors to eliminate carbon build-up dieseling. Have used it for 40 years as a bad gas start up additive, or a tired motor revitalizer. Never damaged anything w/ it.

Love drag racing and worked in chem labs for years doing testing on various fuels. Years ago I had a Methanol 4 stroke racing kart. Was a very quick kart on Methanol. I ran it one time on 50/50 Nitromethane and Methanol. Was the most fun I ever had for 10 min. Kart hooked pretty good in turns on alcohol. On Nitro it blew the tires away in every corner and pulled like crazy...... Until the motor stopped. When I took it apart it bent the crank something like .150" on the rod journals. Like in Top Fuel, nitro is cool as hell but hard on parts.

that stuff is incredibly toxic. that's why they don't use it.

[@rars0n]

For anyone who doesn't already know: nitro contains both the fuel component and the oxygen component. So the more you add to the mixture, the more power it makes because it's largely bringing the oxygen with it. I really love seeing you actually test this out on the dyno though. VERY interesting stuff!

[@paulsachs9983]

Our course youtube experiments turn to oxygenated fuels. Wait until they discover hydrazine and flak jackets 😂

[@JETZcorp]

In the 1960s, the Ramchargers drag racing team made up of Chrysler engineers started adding hydrazine to their fuel. The tech inspectors wondered why the tops of their pistons were turning green, and they made up some nonsense about dye and combustion analysis or some such. Eventually their supplier got curious and asked what sort of military aerospace project Chrysler were working on with the ultra-toxic hypergolic rocket fuel. When they explained that they were using it as an automotive racing fuel additive, the guy flipped his lid and said they were all lucky to be alive.

I seen a interview with big daddy don garlits he said when he first ran the 426 hemi he wasn't impressed that the 392 hemi made more power that was until he turned the timing up to 40* and now he was impressed just a little fuel for thought, by the way you guys a a freaking trip so keep on keeping on and I'll keep on watching😎👍

[@gregoryballestero4369]

Im so suprised how good that sounds being totally stock

Nitro can also schedule a rapid engine disassembly for you(Regardless if you want it or not) All around great fuel

[@Glide1992]

There is a saying in the Top Fuel world. "If you NEVER want it to blow up, don't ever start it." Sooner or later every Nitro team in NHRA blows up.

[@Brandon02493]

​@Glide1992 they blow up damn near every pass lmao

Yup seen that happen. Literally blowing the head off entirely 🙄

From the intro till the end, this was one of my favorite vids in the last couple years. You have an amazing team and loved seeing Dr get all giddy and having the time of his life! Keep on keeping on.

Imagine how much gain Big Chief was getting out of his combo.... That was awesome guys. Chevy Rules 💪🏼

[@jasem1651]

Growing up, my dad and his friends where exploring with nitro on quads. Many nights growing up I remember sitting around the dyno watching them. They use to buy nitro by the barrel for 500 bucks and 15 years ago, they thought that was way to expensive

[@robertmason8341]

How many guys are gonna see this and be like “bro, I know how to make your LS fly”. Theres gonna be a wave of blown up LS across the country in the next few weeks!!😂😂 🔥

LOLOLOL for sure

[@wesdoobner7521]

Lol, few people are going to be paying $40 a gallon to cruise their hot rods.

[@Eastsidegeorgiaboy]

@@wesdoobner7521 it's actually $80 per gallon. Thats a 5 gallon jug, and they spent almost $400 for it.

Great video brother, always wanted to do this to my go kart 30 years ago and see now that I should have....

Thanks for great important information video was very interesting.

Oh boy, when Jackstand utters those words, you know you're in for a thrilling and disastrous ride! It's a mix of excitement and impending chaos that makes his ideas so intriguing. Can't help but wonder what crazy and awe-inspiring catastrophe he'll unleash next. Buckle up and hold on tight! 💥🔥😱

[@dalegnodle]

I was half expecting Jackstand to break out a bottle of nitrous!

[@UmmmmmmmWhat]

I'm guessing white trash will be running nitro race gas / methanol soon instead of the current setup with mass nos use. Really, i'm hoping it's a whole new vehicle, something odd to add to the fleet. I'd be mildly interested in seeing an old rwd volvo wagon burnout car running it's 5 cylinder on this until it blows it up. 😂

[@natedostalik3538]

The hp and torque gains are actually ridiculous

[@camdenwilliams428]

This video was so good!! I learned something valuable, but even more had an ear to ear smile and and couldn't stop laughing the whole time. Can't wait for the next one!!

[@Trump24GreatWhiteHope]

Thats wild! Great work guys

[@The_sinner_Jim_Whitney]

We need some retired Leroy/Mullet/Ruby fuel system stuff on the truck. I'm genuinely curious what a 5.3L will do stock on fuel. This is one of the coolest videos you guys have ever put out. Awesome.

I love the sound of Donny. The Dale truck sounds pretty good as well

[@MrKennyanders]

get the bottle

[@joseacuna3239]

I mean, the amount of fuel being dumped into the engine to achieve this madness is incredible. No wonder why top fuel dragsters are so expensive to run (besides all the other variables)

[@Calango741]

Have you ever seen a video of how much Nitro is being just blasted into a top fuel engine? It's almost enough to hydro lock the engine. It only works because Nitro Methane has it's own Oxygen, so the air/fuel ratio doesn't have to be regulated anything at all like a gasoline engine.

[@llamacebu216]

Nitrogen is cheap Besides, everything used on the Cleetus channel is ad revenue. Which means nothing comes out of his pocket bc youtube is technically a "business".
