put a run counter on the dash, reset the count when you do the rods, after the count hits 20, turn the number yellow, the closer you get to the target number the closer the color should get to red, at the target number, make it blink

this right here is a great idea can more people like so cleet will see it

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

Sounds like it's designed to have Rod Stretch rather then Rod Failure.

[@Masonkoe]

The SMX was a water jacketed engine hence the drag and drives. Steve offers the SMX in a dry deck setup as well as a wet deck. It also was capable of removing the head with the intake still intact.

[@mattbradshaw6456]

All SMXs are dry decked, that water jackets do not use the deck to move fluid from the block to the head. They are all plumber externally with AN line, making them a bit of a plumbing nightmare

[@MidgetPunter]

Proline hemi can remove the heads while nit removing the intake as well. Biggest difference between proline hemi and the smx is pretty major...biggest benefit is the support behind it for parts and one of the baddest tuners on the drag racing scene.

[@CGT80]

I will have to look for that video........I was out of town without internet or phone service. Cleetus also made a comment about it being the first dry deck they have had, yet isn't an SMX considered a dry deck? The SMX has no coolant flowing through the head gaskets to prevent the failures that go along with the oem design of a wet deck. I'm not sure what else a dry deck would refer to.

Hope is a FRESH PLR TURBO 572CI STAGE 4 481X ENGINE PLR’s most powerful and reliable Hemi engine platform just received an extensive update with the new Raised Cam design. Improvements include; a .650” raised cam, ability to run a bigger cam core, shorter pushrods and revised rocker gear assembly which all combine to add stability to the valvetrain. Larger head studs were added to the upper row to increase clamping force on the head gaskets. Also, the inner head stud has been eliminated, so now you can remove cylinder heads without removing the intake which saves valuable time between rounds. In both Turbocharged and Centrifugal Supercharged applications, we have seen a significant performance advantage in favor of the Raised Cam Hemi over our “standard” Hemi.

Cleet and gang, I'm currently working on the Freedom Factory for Assetto Corsa and it's almost ready to be raced on, It's still missing a lot of stuff but the oval track it's self is basically complete. I'm planning to host a few races on it very soon, but would love to hear back from someone from the team first to make sure it's okay to do so first. Rev this baby to the moon 🦅🦅

[@danmyers9372]

It wasn’t that long ago that Cleeter was making trips to the wrecking yard and pulling used LS’s out of trucks for his race cars. And now a Pro Line Hemi! I don’t think Cleeter fully understands the realm he is stepping into. This engine is just the entry point. To be competitive at this level you really need to keep at least one spare short block in the trailer and at least one additional set of assembled heads plus spare pistons, rings, rods, lifters, push rods, rockers, injectors, etc. If it can fail the top teams have at least one spare and sometimes multiple.

[@lordcommander3224]

He doesn’t even keep a spare transmission yet. 😂

[@Dan_Neely]

He knows about spares. He also knows the first few breaks he can get more clicks from the not having it drama. Mullet's about due to finally have spare everythings; give Eagle a year or three.

"Don't touch my PushRod, Jackstand!!!" - Cleetus 2024 Well dang I lost the engine debate competition. I know alot of guys were saying Proline but I didn't think you were going to go full tilt and go actual 4 seconds ProMod. I guessed SMX because I thought you wanted to drag and drive it but this thing is a whole other level. Just the Cam alone will slightly rotate the earth with just a small blip of the throttle. After all the spitting and shouting that was done online I don't think anyone got the model right though. I should have known it was going to be their biggest and baddest unit with all the upgrades. This is no joke Garrett you need to step up your game on this one. You need to hire a designated pit manager whose job is to finely monitor all this. Definitely need a run counter plus a rack ready to go with extra parts all set. No more goofn around on this one. You going into the major leagues now. The content coming is going to be insane.

[@54raceman]

I know for a fact that atleast one person got it right and most likely the majority of people that knows that level of racing got it right it’s a no brainer PLR is kicking everyone’s azz at that level and it’s not changing anytime soon and nobody can even think about touching there parts availability they have so much pull with the supplier’s that something that hed,sm,henson,bae,noonan has a year wait time on proline can have on there door step the next morning

Cleet, being a pilot, I know you're familiar with the Hobbs meter. Having such an expensive, precise and pretty machine, and knowing the importance of cycle tracking, it seems to me as a worthy investment. The other thing that should be done as a back up is a digital cycle & hour meter built into the software. Easy enough to keep track cycles.

[@Will-W]

I hear what you're saying, and my impression is they aren't ditching the SMX. It will stay in Mullet as a drag and drive car. (unless they decided to not fix it after the last round of running 6's on 7 cylinders) The SMX is like a work truck, you drive it a bunch and it gets beat up if you don't stay on top of your maintenance. A PLR is a dry motor, a track car to the SMX's work truck. Both put in work, but one puts on miles, the other lives on a trailer. This is a different tool for a different job. I'm really glad Cleet and Steve teamed up. He introduced me to Steve's channel and I've really enjoyed watching his shop getting upgrades and the machinist in me loves watching him work.
