VGG brings the Independence Chevelle to KSR!!

[@brians48now]

I love it that Derek takes the whole family when he goes to these events. Imagine the stories his kids have to tell their friends.

[@tombenson3272]

Sure puts a smile on a fellers face to see Independence, Mullet and Kevin in the same garage. Those boys are lucky to have you Kevin!!

[@maalain323]

That's a lot of freedom on the same spot🤣

[@adamreynolds1851]

Love how cleeter has brought so many channels together through the things he imagines ,the ff has been a great way to bring so many people from so many areas of motor sports together ,super glad you and cleeter was brought together and he encouraged you to make your channel grow ! Love the builds ,mad scientist

[@KCadbyRacing]

I believe that Kevin going to the Race Weeks has a lot to do with that as well...

[@revredbeard3289]

I agree but I need to clone myself to have time to watch all of the car KZbinrs I’ve discovered thanks to Cleetus. 😁

There’s the problem Derek is brain works in bleeps and boops and the Holley EFI runs on 1’s and 0’s fortunately Kevin’s brain works on Ones and Zeros also

Mullet, sitting on top of Independence, in Kevin's shop. This is nuts!!!!!!!

[@richardpixler403]

I caught that also. That’s how I knew it was gonna be a great episode!

[@gullreefclub]

Derek is just hoping that some of Mullets Bald Eagles drip onto Independence but none of the transmission troubles

[@1santaever]

So much freedom

[@flynnflakable]

Yes, we now live in a world where Mullet hovered just inches above the Independence Chevelle. I can't help but to see it as a sign of better days on the horizon.

[@nobodyspecial6436]

I saw that too…. that chevy truck looks an awful lot like Finnegans… Surely not tho…..Is it????

[@Not_A_Cat]

A guy's doing some tune-olating on the Ole Independence? *Well I'll Be Dipped.* So I'm gonna do the right thing and throw a like 👍 at a guy's video. Kevin is a wizard with those lectro-diggical bleep bloops.

Kevin saying "watch your door" was more about the lift than the car door :) Kevin is too nice to say "dont get any rust on my lift!"

[@gullreefclub]

That’s not rust, that’s genuine Chevrolet patina 😅😂🤣

[@jeffpowers2916]

Kevin, you are a great guy for always willing to help a guy out . Much respect . Derek knew the right guy to bring that bad ass chevelle to.

[@dewbiewa]

The integrity you display when the race was stolen from you is why we keep coming back. Your character is held in high esteem by many who visit here. Keep being the awesome guy that you are. You are well respected. With awesome content.

Kevin, I really enjoyed seeing this cross over. To see VCC build it under a massive time crunch and you come in and fix the bleep bloops is neat.

You must do a lot of work with electronics. I too can't shake the similarity between VGG and VCC.

Can't believe this guy hasn't been scooped up by an NHRA team. Thing that stands out to me in all the appearances on other people's channel is how he is never stumped. Like,.....NEVER. The dude must dream of tunes and mechanical sh_t nonstop. Unreal.

[@beckyumphrey2626]

He had a Steenhouse next Gen NASCAR in the shop it looks like.

[@zippityzbrake]

He has a family. For an nhra team, they look for young single guys. Rare that a crew member has a family, if they do its a chief or driver and family travels to most events. I think kevin is gonna actually make more money, and have more family time right here where he is

Love watching you tune engines. A true master at your craft.

[@denisohbrien]

Delightfully realistic video about tuning, 90% of the tune is cold start, cranking enrichment, idle, and throttle tip-in(aceel-enrichment) the money shot on the dyno to maximise HP is that last 10%. . tuning a car for max HP is surprisingly easy, making a car start well, idle well, and have good drivability is an artform.

[@KSRPerformanceFabrication]

Agreed!!

[@esmudeus]

Nice job with the tuning!

[@WildcatWarrior15]

For your intake filter boxes, you should add a differential pressure transmitter to monitor the filter restriction. This is what we do for industrial dust collection and baghouses to monitor filter condition. Would be very easy to do, just put a vacuum transmitter on the negative pressure side of the filter and reference the deltaP from atmosphere. Tie it in as an alarm if it gets too high!

[@nickfono5692]

Agreed, save that engine!
