We dust off our Test Sled from the pits of darkness and give it a new life. It gets a new heartbeat with a 410ci stack-injected LS engine, backed by a Tremec TKX transmission, to bring the Test Sled back to track ready status. Then, we turn some wrenches to make brake and safety upgrades so we can test it on the chassis dyno and at the race track.

Magnificent
Fast as a speeding bullet … Corners like a speeding bullet.
Really miss Mike. He knew how to keep Pat’s ego in check
How is that air going to escape straight down when bleeding the clutch??
Man Reminds me of my crx when it was on boost. 531whp @ 1700lbs. This looks to be a seriously fun ride!
Needs to be lighter. 500lbs lighter.
Pat has so much stuff in that pocket..
You can have all the power from the engine you want, but that car only been 2400 pounds no downforce no wings no spoilers you’ll never be able to put all their power on the ground…🤔 what does anybody else think?
As late as that car is how much power it has and it’s a track car. I wonder why you don’t have a front lip spoiler to keep the air pressure down on the front and a rare wing spoiler to keep air down, pressing on the back that car being that light is going to be all over you not going to be able to drive it to his potential cause it’s gonna slide everywhere cause it has no down force to help traction…😳
I definitely did not understand why putting the distilled water in there when most mechanics know the boiling point are plain water is pretty low and the high of the water get it starts expand when it’s mixed 50-50 with coolant antifreeze it only worry about your engine not freezing up it raises the boiling point of your water liquid compound mix with antifreeze and when it gets high about one 8200 it won’t expand and blow a seal somewhere so just about freezing up antifreeze does a lot more than that mixed in water water…🤔🤔🤔🤔

that push rod 2 valve junk wont hold up it will rattle it self to death needs a coyote bad
Trackcar with a V8!? 😂 You Americans are so…
So u just copied cloths McFarland and leroy
Cletus McFarland , Leroy #1 2000HP hahaha HEEELLL YEAHH BROOTHHERRR 🤣
I would love to give this thing hit around the block it would be fun ,,but it would get your in trouble it’s to quick no weight heaps of power ,,it’s a recipient to lose your licnese ….I love it good job guys ❤️👍🦘🇦🇺🇺🇸💪🧌
Good job
If only I had the money for a Vettekart
Big compliment for Zack. My 5’ tall daughter has decided to try motorcycles. She has watched your Grom daily rider and a couple other reviewers. When I mentioned the CFmoto Pappio her first comment was “Is there a daily rider on it?”
So everyone is copying roadkill or cleetus Leroy.
Checking the bellhousing to crankshaft centerline then installing aftermarket offset dowel pins that are not the spec you measured … with a beautiful lathe in the background … is what my father would call half-assed. If it is worth doing, it's worth doing right.
Junk
My question is, you guys said we used a junk yard block. Then as you are building it became aluminum. How does that happen.
Was this inspired by Roadkill’s Vette cart?
Frankie did fine! You don't know where the edge is until you go to it! Try changing the throttle linkage to give a finer resolution, it will help. Take some timing out of the engine so it is not so "ready". That super light car with that horsepower, yikes. No body also means all dirty air and no down force. Put a wing forward and aft to hold the chassis down! Smooth is fast.
This channel is like one long ridiculous advertisement for products.
a masterpiece built👍♥️
#FJB
MAGA 🇺🇸Trump🇺🇸2024🇺🇸👏👏
Why does it need those huge brakes if it only weighs wtf..
I wanna see them race Leroy and Cletus
everything is just an advertisement for the sponsors. They dont even describe the experience, they just mention the sponsors over and over. and a duralast battery lol
