This Will Change McFarland Racing Forever...

Visit cleetusmcfarlan... to check out all of our Cleetus shirts, hats, stickers and more!
Today we shot up to Fast Forward Race Engines about an hour north of our shop to pick up FIVE 540 Big Blocks I ordered about 6 months ago. These engines are going to take our burnout fleet to a whole new level... it will be epic!

@CleetusM , it's funny hearing about or seeing Vic, he used to be my neighbor back in the early 2010's when I lived in Country Walk. That was back when the GTR was still "stock" and when I would see him occasionally cruise in the Red Supra that I think was his Dad's.

Should have went with 410 outlaw sprint car motors, high revving small blocks that sit at WOT for ages with not a huge deal of load on them compared to other disciplines of motorsports.

Add a big oil cooler and increase the oil capacity. Also add extra radiators and coolant capacity to all burnout cars. All of that plus methanol will keep the engine cool enough to survive multiple burnout events.

Honestly should avoid meth if you want easier maintenance. Injectors don’t like sitting with methanol in them. Correct way is to run gas through after the event. Using ethanol has fewer problems.

180* headers, a 4" straight pipe dumping into an open 55 gal drum, a 3" straight pipe with a 12" trumpet horn on the end, 8 full length rear exit Zumiez, and some boom tubes should add a little audible variety to the burnout comps!

[@daemn42]

What I didn't see in all the "fixings" was.. giant oil coolers and radiators with monster fans. It doesn't take 700hp to spin the tires but bouncing it off the rev limiter with no cooling for 2 1/2 minutes will pretty much kill any engine.
