Turbocharged Coyote, 1st Pass / Personal Best……. Almost!

It's raceday...... Well Test n Tune day for us.... We made it out to Galot Motorsports Park for Thursday night test and tune, had a blast and Courtney's Turbocharged Coyote is showing some potential... Joey is still having some issues, but he will get it figured out and that stock block 8.2 deck monster should be flying.
Courtney's did have a few challenges tonight, but overall very happy with the progress in just two passes.

Definitely a win on the regular old racing stripe down the side traditional type setup and your paint and body work looks like glass

[@macman231]

That hot header tube had TJ howl'in like a dog!!! :-) always fun wounding yourself on friends cars...hahaha

[@user-tr7us4zc5p]

I love Courtney's attitude. Letting his buddy John send it in his new build. Im glad to be subscribed to both!! I used to have a 71 maverick growing up so I like this car.

[@stevemayo1175]

Great Job Courtney and John and o all that Helped Car ran Straight and I think you were Sneaking up On Giving it the BEANS

[@young11984]

Never ceases to amaze me how i would never have a leak while constantly beating on it street driving but it would find a place to yeet some shit out of it at the track😂. Gotta love Courtneys attitude towards it, smiles and laughs at everything….

[@DeezGarage]

LETS GOO💪🏻 BIG PERCY FLOWERSSS! Proud of Courtney and I’m glad to see him out after his ball of struggles recently !💪🏻👏🏻

[@robertdouglas3456]

The car looks & runs great Courtney & TJohn!🤩🤩💪💪

[@jsteed4388]

I’m not a ford guy, but I love the way the car is setup. It’s absolutely beautiful. That thing was on a pass

[@dondotterer24]

Cortney did an incredible amount of work to that car. I'm impressed he gets it done and in a perfect way!

[@TheOneAndOnly843]

Glad to finally see it go down the track again. I knew that turbo was gonna be game changing

[@JoCann3]

Glad to see it back out man. Congrats. Now time to chip away it. Can’t wait to see it in person.

[@dondotterer24]

The most beautiful Comet I've ever seen. Cortney does an awesome job!

[@willabunnjr216]

Can’t wait to get back to Galot and see yall run again hopefully when I’m off of work. I work at night and it sucks missing all these test n tunes and races.

[@Jvcomet]

Nice to see that car go down. 👍

[@justonrandall6304]

Courtney built a bad ass car and now he’s not interested he wants to build another one thanks for the Video John

[@dalerogrrs7787]

Use some Jack strands guys, safety first, stay safe out there guys . Turbo John #1, let's go

[@The918OBS]

I'm not a ford guy at all but I've allways love this build .I believe this car is gonna be very fast when I said and done .Great job on the upgrades this year Courtney

[@donaldhaire1502]

Glad to see the car out

[@jamesdavis4859]

Good job

[@jeffgraham48]

You need to race it this weekend. Need some TJ race footage.

[@ThePaintPaperHustle]

Got a Plymouth to work on this weekend and John needs to make progress on that fox

[@strokermaverick]

She'll, be flying soon!

[@donald-1463]

Great eyes everybody keeping everyone safe Courtney said you were going to be testing the comet I've noticed that Percy doesn't want anything to do with belts 😂

[@NoOne-uu2zt]

Car looked good looks like John was heading to the office lol didn't look like had to drive it much arleast from view of in car

[@jayburrough4308]

Sweet ride for sure

[@winstonpratt604]

That's one bad ass car 💯🤙

[@michaelwynne4346]

Great Job Courtney

[@jimwilfong4384]

Beautiful comet

[@frankkatsenis3812]

Man, Courtney built a beautiful car. The valence under the bumper, when he was pulling up for the first pass I thought it had a gap in it. It was just the mirror like reflection.

[@garylucier6817]

That pretty Comet spools up nice and fast! Love the new stripes on it Courtney.

[@kevinlarrick3285]

Great job guys nice to see you all helping Courtney out And great job driving turbo John it will take a little while but it’s going to be worth it 👍👍

[@philbetthauser9547]

Courtney, you did a great job building Percy . There seems to be something that decides not to cooperate on a "new" build and having john as a wheel man you couldn't go wrong!

[@ThePaintPaperHustle]

lol that car never wants to go. It likes to chill and look pretty

[@donald-1463]

Percy doesn't want to wear a belt is all

[@ThePaintPaperHustle]

@@donald-1463 truth!

Larry you out did yourself on this one. This is one beautiful car. Good luck 🤞🍀 be safe and have fun.

Congrats

Courtney’s car is so beautiful. So cool you got to shake it down

[@garywoodward847]

Turbo John can you find out what that green is called on the coupe next to ya'll. Killer green.

[@EvansBrosRacing]

Car looks so sweet

[@daviddejesus7037]

Car looks real good sound great now get it tune down she be fast

[@glennshotrodgarage5509]

Looking promising with the new combo…………that dirt in the filter though!

[@ThePaintPaperHustle]

Trash from used lines. I don’t clean them out ever I just send it 😂 no lie

[@wolfracing9504]

Hell yeah sweet ride

[@garylucier6817]

It was definitely on a great pass. Check w/ a straight edge across the center of those 2 pulleys and measure from front of block to those centerline drawn on the belt to see if they are square to one another...of course when the block and piping is all cool. That burned hand sucks bro.

[@tbone67gthenderson78]

That’s a beautiful car and you guys are getting it in the groove ! That cars is going to one to be reckoned with in the future. Cool video TJ . 😎✌🏻

[@garywoodward847]

Hell yeah man freaking awesome!!!

[@LoneWrencher]

what we all been waiting for

[@thomasward4505]

With that number at the 3 30 ft mark would have definitely been a 5-second pass for sure

[@roscoepcoltrane23]

The Comet is cool.

[@leestadnyk5573]

good to see percy make it to the track and make a couple shakedowns

[@mjj6870]

except for those 2 issues the car looked good, I think with some testing it will be a 5.30 and 121 60 ft car, just keep Courtneys attitude good and let him know we are behind him like I am you and this car will be going places

[@Hammerback0]

Love the Joey fellas car. Man what Id give to be able to have my fox back. 😢

[@onealmason5046]

Percy just looks at home on the track!! 💪💪

[@frankkatsenis3812]

Yea, until I saw it in the video moving I didn’t realize how nice it was.

[@johnnyrouse2713]

Couple more tests and y'all have that thing in the fives

[@VRMN8R]

The water temperature looked a lot better on the 2nd pass, did you guys do something with the cooling system? I always thought that those water pumps like to push more than they like to pull. Good job Courtney/all

[@baldhead7705]

Courtney and y'all get the bugs worked out of this it's going to get down track pretty good

[@Amxracer]

Cool 😎 !

[@user-jp5me5bs5i]

Yessss🔥🔥🔥

[@ThePaintPaperHustle]

😮😳🤤 Prettiest pile of ebay junk I’ve ever seen 😂

[@danmyers9372]

Good first test session! This was a great example of how well set up safeties in the ECU can save an engine. It looks to me like the back end isn’t moving. It definitely isn’t getting much, if any separation. More anti squat needed and/or loosen extension on the shocks?

[@garylucier6817]

It left beautifully the 2nd pass, those slicks wrinkled up perfectly and the extension allowed the fronts to go in the air but under control and straight as an arrow. The absolute least driving input I have ever seen TJ have to do in a car.

[@robwilkerson2172]

Is that a go pro hero max you had in the top of the car? Is it easy to get that angle?

[@jodycook9877]

How much horsepower is he expecting out of that engine to require a mechanical fuel pump? Or is it more to help control the increase in fuel pressure as the RPMs increase? Don't bash me too bad just trying to learn. Lol

[@ThePaintPaperHustle]

Control increase in fuel needed at higher rpm

[@TennTitans]

Transbrake bump is terrible idea on jack stands. Hard on a trans

[@TurboJohnRacing]

As long as you keep the brakes applied it’s really not a lot different than in the ground. Best place is on the starting line or in a spot where if the throttle hangs or transbrake releases you don’t run over someone or run into your trailer. Seeing transbrake tests in crowded pits with the cars on the ground scares me! I’ve been right beside one when the throttle hung and the car launched (in the shop)! Not good!

[@brianholcomb6499]

Probably shouldn’t test the bump on a Turbo400 on the jacks! Usually tear up the sprag! JS!

[@garylucier6817]

Never press the transbrake button when up on the stands period. It requires the full weight of the car on a surface to work properly and will take out lots of trannies if not on the ground.

[@user-kk3oj5um6e]

Tell Courtney to get his but in the car thats the only way he is going to used to it

[@robertbruneau112]

No jack stands? Come on guys

[@ThePaintPaperHustle]

Forgot them in bed of other truck. Honest mistake wasn’t happy about it.

[@jmitchell513]

What was in that oil filter? That looked scary to me..

[@ThePaintPaperHustle]

Just trash from hoses and such

[@jmitchell513]

@@ThePaintPaperHustle gotcha! I am literally under mine right now pulling the pan to investigate some metal I found in my filter.. 100 miles on the rebuild but rather be safe than sorry 😂

[@pontiac411]

I don't know why any one would ever trust a belt driven fuel or oil pump.

[@Radial-racer]

What does the comet weigh?

[@ThePaintPaperHustle]

3,000

[@jkfonyi]

Daammmnnn that’s a huge bitch . Sorry couldn’t resist .

[@jaredshoemaker9196]

Why did he switch to Turbo from a Procharger? Is a Procharger harder on parts?

[@danmyers9372]

He always planned to turbo the car. He put a small(ish) Procharger on it as a first step to get used to the car.

[@jkfonyi]

He had some belt issues too . He didn’t want to go to a crank drive so he went turbo

[@MrTimNed]

Courtney ain't testing his own car? Pfft

[@ThePaintPaperHustle]

To hot 🥵 😂 John can have at it. Johns an amazing driver and loves it more than me. It’s a win win for both of us and we legit have fun doing it all.

[@MrTimNed]

Do it. Not did it. You know what I mean. Get on it..!!

[@jkfonyi]

@@MrTimNedyou have a driver like John available to shake down a new build for a newish Driver . Seems like the safest thing to do . Plus John’s experience he will know if something is wrong or needs adjusting way before Courtney .

[@taterkuhn5048]

After all the time,money n effort getting to making a pass Down the track. I’d have to be the one in the drivers seat. Anymore TJ reminds me of a local that has a race car but doesn’t have a good garage to work on it and has relied on others with shops to keep him going.

[@ThePaintPaperHustle]

Everyone’s different though. The build was were the joy comes from. The driving does nothing for me. Seeing it work is more rewarding than sitting inside and not getting to see it work.

[@taterkuhn5048]

Understand but I just don’t get it. Sorry but I unsubscribed today. To me the plant my azz in the seat and then keep it there on a pass gets me going. I wish you well, your a good guy.

[@ThePaintPaperHustle]

@@taterkuhn5048 hey no worries. I’ve made it very clear from the start multiple times that I don’t want my channel to be a racing channel. Building stuff is my passion and always has been. No hard feelings.

Way too much travel for that track.
