This video is too damn good and informative to not be getting more views, your content is amazing! It's refreshing knowing somebody is actually doing a 3V build when I fear there is not much of us left when others are going the coyote swap route or buying the new S550's. Keep it up man!

[@91302lx]

A lot of people didn't pay attention in school. The information you just gave them probably caused some of their heads to explode. Lol. Great content, I noticed things seemed easier when you were recording those 0-60 and 20-80 times. But I'll wait till you announce that in the next video. Keep'em coming.

[@hmackprotection1]

Well Done 👍🏽 if anyone can’t understand it now with the way you perfectly explained it, then something’s wrong with them.. now hurry up and get that Machine to north of 500Whp, trust me after that the only zero to any number time you’ll care about will be your 0 to 100MPH

The ”dish rag” comment made me chuckle but it had more to do with how you timed the delivery with a little deadpan flare coupled with slight hints of derision at its absurdity. Love the content overall! There are very few good quality early first gen S197 videos to consume. Keep the ”geek speak” along with the layman breakdown. The American education system you should be under indictment! You clearly put a good deal of thought into your videos. It kinda of makes me want a 3v project to build!

Another thing to note is that the fastest stock "official" times are probably 0-60 without rollout which shaves off a few tenths

[@JoseCruz-dk3fi]

This video is great. It's definitely the KZbin algorithm that's pretty messed up. Next time you dyno your car you should do this test too to compare the results, if it's possible of course.

True, whilst you mustn't disregard the difference in air temperature, either. I just wonder what shifter (gear ratio, clutch etc) is in your car. Your shifts are quick and purposeful.

[@Four_Eyes]

Appreciate the patience. Working on a video now. Stage 3 is a bit more serious, so I've been doing quite a bit of research and planning. Videos about Stage 3 will very likely be as follows: cosmetic (actually p stoked on this), cam install, suspension, and then finally the official Stage 3 video.

I use After Effects which is one of the most cumbersome ways to make YT videos, but it gives me surgical control.

[@blackhawk3456]

I recently took a drive to Colorado from Indiana, Indiana is much closer to sea level compared to Colorado. In Colorado, my Focus ST’s turbo couldn’t even get the boost to get to a high speed because of the thin air. When I got back in Indiana, my boost gauge filled completely and the car was so much faster. I feel sorry for those in thin air areas.

[@johnrose3898]

[@newfie-dean5803]

All you need now are 4.10 gears to shave off some more time. I think you mentioned having 3.31 gears before but I thought only the autos used that gearing and that the manual had 3.55 gears stock. There’s a sticker on the rear axle that will tell you what gear ratio it is anyways.

[@theFerraridkid]

Really looking forward to see how you build up the engine before adding the blower. I want to see the results you get so I can decide if i'm going to go the 4.6 built route or the 5.0 Coyote swap. On a side note how do you plan for the TR3650 to hold all your Supercharger power in the end? Are you going to build up the trany or are you going to swap it for a more beefier one? I'd recommend a rebuilt TR6060 off the Shelby's they're more afford than the Magnum XL and can handle some serious power, while bolting into the 4.6 fairly easy (or so i'm told). Also my Mustang has been built for Autocross handling, and I'd Highly recommend doing a Brembo Brake Caliper swap off the GT500's, I did it to my S197 and along with the custom brake ducts, the stopping power is Unreal! I Love the Videos, always a Joy when I see a New one uploaded! Keep up the Amazing work!!! :D

[@Four_Eyes]

Have you checked out the build sheet? docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hVIZx8W_6PMGEG0bqVcpb3FUmJhsc5FHKiF8nt7t1EM/edit?usp=sharing I am going to roll with the stock tranny until it gives out.. then make a decision on which to buy. I will go for a big brake kit towards the end of the build, the serious stuff is as much as a supercharger. :| Thanks for the compliments amigo

[@danielroberson5421]

Wow what a difference. Dude do you have gears? Or just the standard 3.55s? Thank God I live near the ocean just about 20 miles away.. Do you have cams yet? Remember they take some away some down low. The sound is great though. I myself love the power down low but I with 4.10s got some taken away on top end before the cams. Meaning the power curve kind of went flat. I was playing with a new S550 on the interstate and he could not leave me with the Detriot Rocker cams. Before yes no doubt.

[@Four_Eyes]

I actually have the optional 3.31 gears installed. Cams are on their way (I finally just got the UPS tracking number today). Definitely looking forward to installing them.

[@91302lx]

Hey Foureyes having watched your videos a few times a piece. Your quest to get the quickest 0-60 and 20-80 times, I was just curious what rearend gears do you currently have in the car? Do you plan on swapping gears before or after you have the motor rebuilt? When can we expect another video?

[@Four_Eyes]

Primary goal is not quickest 0 - 60 / 20 - 80 times, just using those as benchmarks so we can monitor progress. My gears are 3.31s which are pretty long, but I don't plan on changing them. As for next video, car is going into the shop on Oct 29th for some body work, so really can't finish that video until that's complete. Really wish they weren't so backed up, but they're the best shop in town :/ Thanks for watching all the vids man, appreciate it.

- Condense your content (don't ramble on with um/uhs and repeat yourself, use a lot of cuts to remove deadtime) - Try to make sure every video has a mini story (problem -> solution -> conclusion) - Have recurring characters (girlfriend, a friend, etc - creates another connection with viewers and adds variety) - Make great thumbnails (faces, colors, contrast) - Post often (way more often than I do - like once per a week if able) - Critique bad channels and/or cars (negativity always draws a sizable audience)

On the 20 to 80 it seemed like that last shift cost you a little bit a time and what was the percentage increase at sea level
