KYE... My friend... Being a channel fallower since you began, because I believe you can take these championships. Kye my friend elliminate all those blower belt issues you have. Get that blower, or as you guys callem super chargers down as low into the intake valley as you can. get a way diffrent intake made so you can get that dam blower down as low as possible and make the belt length as short as you can. I am 66 now. In 1977 I ran a 69 chevelle with a old cast 426 dodge hemi in it with a blower on nitrous methain. I litterly built my own intake for the blower myself. i so wish i could remember the length of my belt but i ran that motor combination 4 years and never ever one time did i change the belt. those long belts have way to much flex snap in them and they cannot take that hard recoil flex to snap back yight under varied rpm. hope i can describe it right so you under stand. my set up was crank drive, a idler to tighten and blower drive and i wanna say it was like 7 or 8 inches between the two drive pullies. I watch all of you guys struggle with blower belts i swear thats your biggest trouble, also make sure them pullies are dead on straight square to each other. just bolting on parts said to be right could be out of square even as small as 1/16 of a inch and it will destroy belts. huggs and good luck my friend i will be watching every video and race.

[@billyt9987]

Now that's some knowledge being passed on. That's some really good information for Kye or anyone else. I appreciate it, hope others do as well.

[@sleeperimpala2504]

Lol nitrous methain. Also can't just shorten an intake on an engine like this. Needs the height to turn the high rpms and make power

[@54raceman]

They need all the intake runner they can get

[@medicbaldwin]

[@jasonbose3507]

DUDE KYE, YOUR CREW IS SOOO FUNNY 🤣. The chicken 🐔 sandwich 🥪 discussion was hilarious!!! I love 💕 all the current and former mechanics that take part in Kye's racing life. The country guy is AWESOME 👍. I'm glad that he's proud to be himself as a hillbilly type. Moonshine types are pretty entertaining and cool. The crew is sooo entertaining and fun, never a dull moment in Kye's world. Great video Kye! Good luck 🤞 this season. Anyway, thanks for the video 📸.

Chik Fil A chicken sandwich, just a bun and piece of chicken, $5.99, NO CHEESE. Chik Fil A DELUXE chicken sandwich, bun, piece of chicken, your choice of cheeses, tomato and lettuce, $6.69. If you get the deluxe, you're paying extra for the cheese, tomato and lettuce.

I know you didn’t win it was so cool to see you at my home state and racing in my favorite track.

[@BigSkip304]

Dude that’s badass shit that you used South Paw Paw Paws music. The one and only John Brodnax. I saw him with Upchurch, JJ Lawhorn n T2 this past March. I’ve followed him for a. While.

[@mikedeetch8960]

I have seen where Nate and Clay will be in New York. Those 2 are really fast I hope to see a few more come back or add a few more to fill up to a 32 car field.

[@bigram7235]

It seems like the belt is breaking way more often than it should. I would make that the priority fix on your Hot Rod. Best of Luck 🍀

You lowered the rear suspension this year! If it ain't broke don't fix it my guy!!!

[@kinglewis7625]

cant wait to meet at empiredragway

[@ky8465]

Picture Justin (blower belt) stuck in your locked garage after hours. He runs full speed towards the front door and crashes into it, then he gets up and runs full speed into your back door. He keeps doing this at 7k rpm all night long! He is not going to last very long. Now imagine him doing this in a pair of skinny jeans ( blower belt too tight)!

[@matthewvarnam4302]

Hey Kye couldn't you use like some fishing scale that you weigh a fish with with like a hook on the end and put it on the belt and pull it to see how much weight it has to get the belt at the right stiffness to make sure it's not to tight???

[@SweVikingRC]

Daaam sooo daam frustrating breaking blowerbealts... Tension pully being juuust little bit crucked or draging just a tiny bit when it's under tension??? Try it in the pits on transbrake after changing stuff...!? But I Love these longer uploads 🎉🎉

[@shameless4430]

Why do you guys not put the car on the trans brake in the pit to see if it's going to break the belt or not? I know the belts only have a limited number of runs before they are worn out or break. But I'd think it would be worth checking before you line up against someone for 30k$

[@davidd837]

Kye repping John Brodnax!

[@waltmann66]

What up bro!!!😎👊🏾🌱

[@WVT0587]

I really hope u can repeat this year and win another championship, everyone kinda knocking last years format, but we all know u fast as F$&k!

Man I tell you ghost Nova is rolling

[@marctorigiani4558]

Looks like doc pulled the front end off the ground at about 500 ft amd the car got goofy after that. Lot of power but you can't use it if your front ends in the air

[@rickpriami6659]

Did you hear about running a wider wheel to help with tire shake ??

[@outlaw36sst]

hi , i have this question in the back of my mind ....do you guys bring short blocks or full spare motors when you go to the track .

[@timmyfiggatt4538]

As much as i enjoyed watching Shawn getting his first inventational win, sucks it was against you at Virginia.

[@Johnswbigb]

Cog belt is happier a little loose! you should be able to twist it almost 90 degrees in my opinion.

[@CalebShaw972]

Do yall not do 2 step checks in the pit to make sure it aint gonna happen when yoir sitting on the line?

[@markminiely4826]

See you in edmonton

[@MrCecilgreen]

Some one missing from Kyes crew, not been the same since

[@kmc468]

Is it possible your belt is flexing under load And touching the back side of the belt inside that housing causing it to stop that portion of the belt like a break For a split Second in the rest of the belt to rip off And Continue cause it's still being pulled by the lower pullygear on the crank For the belt.

[@Bulletfrank72]

what a Car

[@Ballentyne817]

The Double Down KFC . It has two pieces of fried chicken fillet, as opposed to bread, containing bacon, cheese, and a sauce.

The deluxe from chick fila comes with cheese man lol. It depends which one either regular or spicy. Chick filas deluxe all 3 sandwiches come with cheese-aka grilled spicy and regular.

[@rightlane69]

@@Ballentyne817 yes he does..he has that car flying

[@MidgetPunter]

I doubt it scared. I think it's the fact he knows Shawn is making fast passes everytime he runs straight down the track. As straight as Shawn's car is going down the truck you'd think Shawn isn't having to have his steering wheel connected. Shawn's consistency if it continues is gonna be a problem for everyone as he's not gonna get slower.

Where is adam and the other guy that was helping tune the screw last year?

[@fishwhisper4388]

I was thinking same thing

[@MidgetPunter]

Adam took a step back so he won't be at every race. He's spending time with his family. He will probably be at 4 or 5 races. I may not be 100% correct but I'd say at least 90% of what I stated is factual I just may be off on number of races he may be at and the exact reason he's not there. I can't remember if it's for his kids racing or it's his kids sports but it's definitely for time with his family.

[@TheMobileGamingDragRaceChannel]

Sad kye will be firing his crew this year and they don't even know yet. That's dirty they have families to feed, but I get it they are no help if you always have to tell them what to do. Your not going to win that way. I get it, I just wish you would talk to them and tell them they need to be thinking 3 steps ahead of you and double-check everything. You have the best parts, but I understand the crew is young, but teaching them might be better than firing them. Stay safe and good luck, kelly.
