What does Shawn do to service the Murder Nova after making 3600hp on the Dyno?

After beating on the Murder Nova on FuelTech's dyno to the tune of of 3650hp at 70psi of boost, we brought it back to 187 Customs HQ to check everything over. In this video, Shawn talks about what he does and how often he'll do this particular maintenance after putting in work!

Most people have no idea what it takes to keep these cars together and ready to race at all times. Thanks for sharing!

[@DA.Boogieman]

Street Racing Channel you need that engine for the s10

[@dogle9258]

We love watching the SRC fam working on those cars though.

[@dreadheadgarage]

Yall should do one, I would love to see wat yall do to keep the ole shit10 going also need some inspiration for the shit10 I'm building lol🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾 keep them vids coming G🤙🏾

[@kevinc9006]

Damn I dream about nat's big naturals

[@woodgrain18]

Hydraulic roller for the win!! LoL

[@davidmcnerney3048]

Be cool if ya guys did a little tour of the car. Chassis, cage, fuel system, injectors, trans&converter etc...Hell id love to see a rundown of the OG too.Were all bored af with the lock downs.

[@rampage2587]

Love the dual push buttons for turning the motor over. Shit like that makes things so much easier.

[@bennyt2591]

I never realized how clever that intake routing was. That's so wicked!

[@dickiecornwell7262]

Glad to see you in your own shop good luck in the future Shawn you the man more videos keep the good work up

[@FriedEggsandJellyfish]

He left Midwest?? Good for him

[@babyruuth]

Anyone who has tried to dial a combo in at 1/5th that power level knows it's not easy. That is just a whole different world but glad to see you all getting it together.

[@TunerThings]

WOW eyeballing that adjustment was beast mode! 10/10!! Love the murder nova!

[@ajyur9921]

And I thought mine was hell to keep going at only 1500 HP, I’ll never complain about my maintenance again. Great video of what truly goes into keeping this caliper of car going from weekend to weekend

[@jeremyeubanks2387]

Love the Santa Cruz rip on the hoodie... And the badass car also

[@jessehenson1027]

I love how clean that car was built

[@HoustonKilby]

Loved the video brother most people have no idea what it takes keeping a car at this level going. Everyday every weekend hustle hard!

[@kinotransam]

I'm actually surprised that engine is a wet sump system. Just goes to show you dont need the absolute best of everything and most expensive setups to go fast. Thanks for sharing guys!!

[@RadDadisRad]

Dry sump is application specific. It’ll help lower the motor in the chassis. Wet sump can provide volume and the oil only goes one way in the pan from racing so they know where the pickup tube needs to go along with baffles. It makes servicing much easier too.

[@dalebickham2666]

Wet sump is also lighter

[@michaelskinner2121]

Leland Holton isn’t dry sump only needed for road course racing when the cars is swaying every which way?

[@bryantchapman7503]

Love the car bro like to see it out there doing what it does definitely a number one car

[@hillbillydeluxe08]

After having built motors and crazy tolerances and heavy fatigue on stuff guys like him and myself just need a good ole' grenade engine every now and then. Keep it stock and boost it to the hills. Thanks for Sharing. From kc

[@toddclark332]

Hope you kick ass this year big Shawn

[@MrChristianbowman82]

Shawn is the man, really great guy

[@speedfreaksracing7361]

I like that duct work in the background nice Nd straight

[@adenzien]

By far and away my favorite car.

[@eddieburgett9678]

Like your videos especially on chassis set up my project been sitting just been lazy .this inspires me to get it done.like just watching these shop time video

[@marvinhindman1790]

Soon as Shawn fired it up... I swear I could smell the VP fuel being ignited!

[@eddieburgett9678]

Hey Sean these videos are great .keep them coming.

[@puddleduckist]

Amazing, it's a lot of work but that's what it takes to keep it together and win races! Such a bad car, keep it up Shawn!

[@devinfennell2315]

Should make OG the street car and this track use

[@SmallTireSociety]

Almost like a Tuesday 🤣🤣🤣

[@The_StreetSweeper]

Glad I found your channel man. More videos like this please!

[@joepatenaude3957]

Nice to see that shawn gets his hands dirty and does his own maintenance

[@joepatenaude3957]

And I don't know why always have liked shawn the most I don't know if its because he is just like a regular down to earth guy and still works in a shop but love the content

[@jessehenson1027]

See every Tuesday. Never fails

[@koryking3361]

So your next video is going to be a demonstration of your oil test right.. I’m tryna see what that be like!!

[@scottburrow8717]

Damn phantom you sure have lost some weight man since a year ago good job. Shawn too!!!

[@kennethfrilando4641]

482 cubic inch small block is very beast!!!!

[@Toroazul54]

Don't think that the same motor. That 482 didn't have coil packs on valve cover. This motor does

[@melvinhayes573]

Looking good Shawn 👍. love your videos!!

[@theTIVANshow]

Question to anyone. With a motor like that do you use a cam gear that allows for offset timing adjustment in the 3 bolts in the center.

[@ddracing937]

Cool video Shawn keep them coming 👍🏻

[@bigoh5797]

Ive always liked you the Best, Just a Legit Dude Trying to go fast.. Your Cars are BMF... I've got a 9 second Heap that wants to be like that when it grows up $$.. I really like the Build with your Boy, Thats Awesome Content.. Keep it up Bro... Me and Dad have owned a Custom and Collision shop In TX for 44 years...

[@Ls_swap211]

Hope you and Danny have some good luck this year !!!!

[@billy.1110]

“We’re not chemist, for oil anyways” 😂😂😂

[@fuckinmetalhead88]

Probably for meth though

[@billy.1110]

fuckinmetalhead88 thats the joke tho.

[@fuckinmetalhead88]

Ya dont say?

[@jimmyvickery3366]

I have used Shell 15w 40 diesel oil in our big block Mopar and hemis never had an oil problem

[@ThePeopleVerse]

You said to check the torque on the head bolts. Do you break them loose and then retorque them, or just torque to check? If you are breaking them loose, is that good to do (I imagine so since you are doing it) as I always hear the newer stuff is one time torque. I am old school still and I run them in and out all the time with no issues.

[@randallfawc7501]

The sound of sweet music! Love it!

[@l8tapex]

Shawn needs his own oil well. Thanks for sharing it makes it personal and inviting. Hey be cool if you guys did a grocery list of monies spent to buy, build and run a season. It would be 10 pages but let weekend redlighters know.

[@stevenneal172]

Sounding good shawn, can't wait to see yall again 💪🤜🤛

[@dwaynemiller68]

Hell yeah brother new kid on the Block coming in!!

[@randylogan3801]

Glad to see you on here with your family its great. sim told about it so i subscribed instantly

[@Kaptin77]

Ready to see it haul ass now, great stuff guys!

[@rachellehernandez302]

Keep up the good work Sean love the videos on my favorite 405 race car.. #murdernova#1

[@scottryan9845]

Really like your channel . I'm building a 1934 hudson 5 window coupe hot rod , do you have shirts with the new logo on them for sale

[@danielbeavers8701]

I have a LS7 based nova that I use my regular motor oil but I thicken it up with 2 bottles of motor honey. Its never gave me a single problem.

[@Stephen-carr]

Start swapping back and forth during this down time. Get you proficient in swapping it and setting it quicker and easier. Test run swaps is just as helpful as test hits

[@sgan937]

Awesome work guys

[@dreadheadgarage]

Never seen the dual push buttons to turn the motor over 🥵🥵 thats sick asf bro imma have to do that in my shit10

[@deseanstrickland9122]

How many nova do you really have. Love channel playa

[@sonoma98jk]

Love this channel please keep this up

[@luke123918]

On the rocker arms how come one is bigger bulkier in material compared to the other slimline (Knife edge ones)? Just curious

[@187Customs]

This big ones are the aluminum intake rockers. The smaller ones are the steel exhaust rockers. Much more abuse on the exhaust side so we like to use steel over there

[@vvvacaverde1610]

Shawn we need a movie from you about your biography about how you started to race😎

[@booostedtc]

Is it normal to take that long to fire or just the tune the 2 buttons on the fire wall is sick will those start it or just turn it over for working on it

[@toddphilips6781]

Front driver side tire is a may pop, may pop may not. Murder Nova has A/C in this shop, Bet Midwest is jealous of that. Love to see that black Nova get that money at NPKS this season.

[@stingertimezfg227]

Car looking good Shawn

[@cecilfrench2238]

Happy you have your own shop bud keep up the videos there good you have always been my favorite on the show family first race second I will stick with you win loose videos or not just like the way you handle your business and I know to someone calls you out better have your car with you cause it's on right now

[@JaySmith-kk6lh]

I like seeing shawn on his own so people can see that he doesn't need cheif to be successful.

[@jimmywelch9639]

Damn Shawn got that patina! Lookin like lutz gonna start saying back in my day

[@bowsertownes]

So your basically 450lbs or so on the seat!? What is this open pressure? 800-900??

[@stevelohner9494]

Listener number 11! Lol keep up the good work!

[@michaelperez9290]

Holy fuck! That's alot! I see why yall at the top.

[@sbmalibu]

Really liking the videos. And always liked the new car since it was in the booth a pri. By the way im the one that built the black promod turbos with the serial number tags that say murder 1 and murder2. I have the pics on my phone of them on my bench at precision.lol

[@187Customs]

For real? We still have them. The first dyno pull in the last video was with those. I’m gonna have to check that out!

[@sbmalibu]

@@187Customs yep. Look at the tags on them. There the 88s I believe. The ones with the black comp wheels.

[@fliegenmann2562]

You should try Motul 300V, it is one of the best racing oils.

[@Albone3000]

looks like the front tires would kick road debris directly into the turbos

[@jaymally80ify]

Wow how many quarts does the car take? You have one badass car.

[@187Customs]

10 quarts

[@kakrot3]

Sweet!! I use Pennzoil too.

[@mikemaccracken3112]

Didn’t you run Royal Purple products? I just switched over to VP conventional oil with zinc for the old flat tappet cam.

[@187Customs]

They no longer produce the nitro oils that we use and VP started making these oils. Since we have a long standing relationship with VP, it just made sense to switch!

[@karl6823]

Damn shaun she sounds perfect🤘

[@RustyWells2]

Believe it or not but on the good streets theirs a hand full of guys running close to mid 4s on those streets it's getting fucking crazy out there!

[@dogle9258]

What oil is that? I couldn’t tell if you guys said or not.

[@Boss-rn7ck]

Bad assss car man ....bring it to Canada 🇨🇦

[@rodneyhammon1793]

Love this car!…

[@fredg6607]

Are yall done using M5 fuel or only M1 just for NPK

[@deweyford7869]

What spring pressure do you use open/ closed intake / exhaust, any different using the steel exhaust rocker. What weight oil in a turbo motor,50?

[@clint.garage.6092]

Are you sneaking into the kitchen and chucking it in the missus fry pan on the stove to😬

[@jakekoch9495]

I know 70 pounds of boost is a lot for a drag car but we do that on stock internals on a pulling tractor if farm classes

[@faizelvarnicker9020]

And you forgot to say its diesel...some make do 100pounds plus on diesels

[@scootbmx01]

70 pounds in that diesel might make what, half the power?

[@jakekoch9495]

We make right about 1000 hp at 3000rpms and about 2500 foot pounds of torque.

[@shorty808100]

Nice to see someone that actually knows what there doing when it comes to servicing there engine, especially gapping the valves and checking them although if I were you I would run Castrol GTX I think that looked like purple I don’t know if that’s any good but most big time NHRA racers all run castrol even if there sponsored by penzoil, if you really want boost go supercharger you only lose 50HP total and you have all your boost from the line on down to the big end, like the NoS guys there driving 1/4 million dollar cars why are they not running a 16-71 blowers makes no sense then they gripe about not being able to catch up with the boosted cars they want a NoS only pro mod class in NHRA for them cause they say its not fair to have them in with the two turbo and supers cause there not as fast ( most of them just don’t know how to drive is the problem ) or so they whine

[@ajwarner5400]

Would it take alot to make the OG the dedicated street car and the new car the dedicated NPK car? Is the OG just to heavy to be competitive on the streets?

[@187Customs]

OG doesn't have the chassis to be competitive on the list anymore

[@ajwarner5400]

@@187Customs i see most guys are building new no prep cars. Is there something new in the works for you guys?

[@187Customs]

aj warner nah. The new nova is as nice as any of the ones being built

[@ajwarner5400]

@@187Customs I don't doubt it. Everything you guys build is super nice. I was just thinking that way you wouldn't have to swap back and forth between streets and npk so much. I know a new car ain't cheap. I would love to help out. Any 5xl 187 shirts available? Sorry I'm a nice guy. Lol

How much money have you saved since cov19 started

[@teknoaija1762]

anyone in the know how much additional valvespring tension is needed to compensate for 70 psi boost?i bet if it still is a small block that 3650 doesn t come until the upper rpm.... and a camshaft with some lift so you end up with 495 lbs springs.i used 180-200 in my roller bbc and it wasn t streetable like a normal beater.sparingly driving the cam stuff survived 4 summers.
