I can't get over how straight the body work is on that car.😳 Nice to see that Dewey is in charge of the parking lot in addition to his regular duties.

[@JamesTK]

Dewey is chief Engine Builder and Tuner too

[@USN_Ret-]

We always put a blob of grease on the axel groves, slide it in and back out and look at the grease in the groves to see how far the axel seats.

It sucks when stuff breaks, but when it breaks and possibly saves you small fortune, count your blessings!

[@scottwheeler2494]

BIG fortune!

[@jamesplotkin4674]

And possibly someone's life.

[@calvinh.8882]

Glad y'all caught that. This type of thing, or even an axle breaking is why I've stated many times that the drivers that enter certain street races need to tell everyone to stand behind their cars or there will be no racing. And yes, I've had people wanting to argue the fact but the facts are, if a street racers car breaks an axle and it throws the car into people and they're hurt or even worse, It is the driver of the car that will be going to jail for it. Taking a chance on being charged with vehicular manslaughter or homicide isn't something I'd be willing to take a chance on.

[@raindeergames6104]

I dont think alot of people understand what it takes to build a complete car like this. Its a phenomenal amount of work.

[@kevinhawley962]

dont forget about a couple 100k

[@LowAss720]

@@kevinhawley962 I never understand what these guys do to afford to go racing like this. Sure the car is $200k but the toterhome is another $200k, the trailer is $100k and then all the fuel and time away from work. Its gotta be a rich guy club.

[@michaeljones3827]

It is so great that you found the short axle on the dyno. I have a friend who stripped the splines of an axle as the car went into high gear at about 166 mph. hit the wall head on, and he had compression fractures in his back. Thank God you found this. And Dewey, what more can I say about him? He is the BASB (Bad Ass Shop Boss). Thanks again Steve....

[@reisenderrv6210]

Very glad that you sorted the axle out problem out the safe way! Good job guys and another amazing build. 👍

[@kgsxr7s085]

Id be pulling the other side axle and checking measurement over there just in case

A good luck - bad luck story for sure. Beautiful build , good thing it happened on the Hub dyno. Thanks for sharing.

[@ThebadMAN747]

As a guy that worked for QP this is the fear every day when someone orders and measures their own axles .. Wow very lucky!

[@cjcoleman7372]

I love seeing 5th gens getting mad amounts of ❤ like this. I know the why's but Idk how come more of them don't get built since there are ways around most of the why's.

[@GreggeSB]

My 3 most overused important "dad-isms"; 1) Be careful 2) Better safe than sorry 3) It can always be worse. I see those are the same or very similar at Steve Morris Engines throughout all the videos I've watched and rewatched. A bad axle on the hub dyno is a few hundred dollar fix, but on the track can be significantly more catastrophic.

[@ronjones-6977]

The worst wrecks I've seen in the past few years were when only one tire loses traction. Almost always eats it in the wall.

[@bcbloc02]

So lucky it gave it up here! That for sure would have been bad going down the track.

[@chrismadaj8751]

One thing I really like about drag an drive cars is all the different ways to engineer them so cool back when i was younger never would have thought that you could get cars to go so fast and drive them on pump gas GODSPEED

Hey Steve, It looks like your flywheel guard on your Dyno is loose as there were sparks coming off of it at around 6:40 - also I'd check the drivers side axle too who knows it may also be miss measured. Beautiful Camaro - Later

I have to admit that I have always learned something with every video you make. My grandfather had a cylinder and head shop in Orlando, FL I grew up going to all the local NHRA events and never missed Gainesville. There's a bunch of cars at Don Garlits museum that my grandfather restored also. The oil runs in my veins too. Thanks for the videos and educational information. If I ever get around to building a rig the first 150k is yours.

[@gazza116]

dewey sussed that axle when they were backing it in.🤣

[@notyouraveragegoldenpotato]

That holley tuning interface looks like CAKE compared to what we do for older Audis using me7.5 ecus. (Extremely capable ecus, factory ecu can do virtually everything an aftermarket efi controller can except dual Injection) we have to find a random letter group that someone broke down from the factory programming, scan the ecu BIN to find the table. And jump back and forth like that between a few programs to modify the values, do checksums etc. Just click clicky would be AMAZING🤣 at least our way is essentially free

[@srenlund-hansen6883]

it is one thing to measure an axel wrong, but building that rear end knowing that one axel is wrong, who did that ?

[@throttlebottle5906]

measure once, cut it twice and it's still to short! 🤯 someone needs beaten with the axle

Rare anything like that gets by Strange, leaves an impression somehow the build ended up with two Short Side Axles or the right and left ended up swapped, those Strange spools are through splined. One Axle needs a warning label if they were side swapped. Damn Nightmare.

[@MiscRocketVideos]

I've never seen a hub dyno in person. Are the legs/outriggers the only thing they are registered on or is there a track in the floor or something similar? Also, is the car tied down to the floor like a roller dyno? You see some body movement during the pull, so I'd assume the suspension is not rigidly bound up. Thanks for posting such a big variety of content!

[@ionstorm66]

Some hubs are on a track, but I don't think Steve's is. You only have to ever strap down the the front end, as you can still wheelie the car on a gun dyno.

[@jackstoepfer1494]

[@HappyHarryHardon]

I just had a similar conversation with my boss about why I want to spoil the rearmed instead of using an LSD that can only handle 500ftlbs. He’ll be making twice that and made very clear, you do not want a tire to unload under any kind of power it will hurt you real bad. So I’m going to spool it.

[@NBSV1]

If you break an axle the spool will be what makes it turn. All the power goes to the good side and will make the car turn. With an open diff, or most limited slips it would tend to stay straighter, but also not want to put power down.

[@Chimpster21]

Lovey car, so well built and a beautiful engine noise. Question, when racing are the air intakes modified to add any ram air effect, otherwise there could be the opposite affect like a venturi.
