Firing Up Ruby With Her NEW Texas Speed 7.0L V8 + Completely Changing Her Turbo System...(we had to)

Minus the bath salts

Lmao.

😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀

James is an absolute guru

Alpha Orionis 911 so he crashed Leroy then sold it to Cletus?

The whole methanol thing confuses a lot of people here. It's not common in the US. Not like Aussie land. I'm trying to help people understand. Also applies to not needing an intercooler with a turbo.

@@chevy383jt we use them with intercoolers too , just use more of h20 in the mix.. Just got my first snow performance kit this year for my big turbo mini cooper s

@@chevy383jt if you want to run big numbers you still need the intercooler, you've just got alot more headway.

@@chevy383jt You are correct, nobody uses methanol in the US, people use something called E85, ohh wait E85 is Ethanol (85%) ( yes I know Ethanol and Methanol is not technically the same substance, but in this instance they are used interchangeably, for the same purpose ) and E85 is sold at most corner gas stations, so alcohol is used MUCH more then you think.

@@jesperdahl1486 Yeah, I don't have a flex fuel system, so I don't pay attention to what gas stations have it. It doesn't seem to be available at a lot of the stations in my area.

D Max was waiting for it 🤣

Can't they just put the feed line in the oil fill hole when they're not using it

Lmao

Clorox Bleach lmao 😂 😂😂😂

More like 2.5 minutes later lol

Every time working on a car ever.

@@gerardmontgomery280 every time working on literally everything ever xD

jimiemick did the blue doors interest anyone else

Hell yess

He does have a channel but dosent post too much

Wit them crocks on lmfao

I don't think James is the editing kind.

Shhhh don't do that... We don't need to try to break the band up

James is awesome!!!

Fobian this is Garrett’s garage, but yeah it’s good to see James doing his thing

Fobian James is my favorite on this team. Super chill and very knowledgeable

Fedt at se jeg ikke er den eneste dansker her ^^

Rød grød med fløde power! 👌🚗💨

Definitely self taught. All the little tricks he knows aren't taught in schools...it's learned from other people that got tired of doing it the hard way lol

There is a Garret/Cleetus background video. I’d like to see a Cooper/Cooper and Cleetus background video and a James background video too. It’s be interesting to know where they came from and how they ended up here too.

@@srcastic8764 Cooper got kicked out of Special Forces for LS swapping a Humvee.

@patrick dean YES

I heavily agree with this!

A Floridian mechanic at that

thats the truth too haha

Lol. True.

Bro after you start to fabricate you dont need a mechanic 🤣🤣 you need someone who's beyond on hands on custom shit lmao

haha exactly especially if your on flat rate

Go to any track or street on any given day/nighf of racing and you'll find at least 20 guys just like James. I'm not downplaying James, I'm just saying that's what a real car guy is.

@google bias limited Yeah, you know, fast stuff

Rich Dylan you make sandwiches for a living don’t you ?

^^

👆👆

i totally agree James is a plethora of knowledge 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Hell no brother. LMAO

Daniel Arias yeah he’s a really good mechanic, I’d sub if he had his own channel.

So good looking

nb65407 still a budget build, the likelyhood of him paying for any if that is slim

Lextech Lighting ~25k for the powerglide/9” combination is a budget build..?

Remember when it was supposed to be a giveaway car

When you consider the new engine isn't new and is payed for itself and that they made every upgrade a little at a time there was a smaller 76 mm I think then they went with engine after engine after engine till Texas speed made them a 5.3 that would last then they put the powerglide in there somewhere between engine 3.0 to turbo kit 2.0 on then came the sec bigger turbo after the new ecu I think but before the bolt on rear and front frame pieces and the coil over conversion so on a budget ya maybe but it was one hell of a budget. But this new engine paid for it did its job and what they asked of it now it gets to rip Ruby for a while till there is just no more life in her I think you should let me make you a case for it so you can put it on display in the breezeway at the freedom factory somewhere after Ruby is done with it that is

@@shaunhensler507 KRplusrs doing give away cars are just trying to get positive publicity and make big money.off merch when everything is donated by sponsors the chances of winning it are slim. I wonder how many subscribers bought thousands of dollars worth of merch for hopes of increasing their chance and shutting everyone else out...

Okay that's cool

Thats such a rad story , the holley guys were awesome to everyone at sema.. even first timers there like myself

Actual cool story, thanks for sharing.

Epic story!!!

I feel close to someone who made history within Holley history if that makes sense. Thanks for the story.

thanks🙏 for being an active fan hit me up🔝you have being selected among the winners on my giveaway ❤️💗💖💝💯💯

Jason Howell they make a good team because James has the mechanical knowledge and Cleet got the youtube know how

I wouldn't want to change anything with these guys, they all work so well together.

I thought that the other night "James' JimmyRiggin"

Very true James we want to see more of your toys, get em out to the f.f.

@@hagen-wagon4528 And coop can just stay silent and film.

Yeah he is a smart dude. They have all come far tho. From what I understand the Freedom Factory belongs to all 3 of them. Maybe I misunderstood but I believe they were in it together. Cleetus is just a made up character. When you think of cleetus, you already acknowledge all 3

I cant wait to see the Nova go whole hog on the track. I've seen pics of it on IG standing on the rear bumper

When did he join the channel, was there an episode where we first met James?

@@maxwelllevy5760 I´m pretty sure he started right after they got the shop they share with Jeremy/FasterProms

B P , Why do you need to see his pad (house). He has a young family. He doesn't have to show anybody his house. And if he does show people his personal home, some people will work out where it is and he will have fanboys turning up unannounced like they have at the shop. Just because you watch him almost every day of the week and it may seam like you know him. He deserves to be left alone. Especially in is own home. He doesn't know any of the creepers that would just show up. Plus inside his home is his space he doesn't have to give no one a walk through.

James is my hands down FAVORITE. he seems so smart and experienced, a good and patient teacher, and ALWAYS has a smile.

Cause hes a certified bad ass workin machine my guy

Think Cleet should give James a week to bring his projects to the shop an have everyone help finish his. He busts his ass for u Cleet, an worked off that nice trailer you bought him. About time for another present!

@DDAA I follow him on insta and he's wierd with his cars. Hes not even putting the 2j in the supra anymore

DDAA I said nothing about Coop, he puts in no wrench time sells merch only because James build's this stuff from top to bottom. No disrespect to Coop but James makes every thing Cleet thinks of physically possible. Coops sells t-shirts of what James has built! Coop has plenty of time to build his own stuff, see what James does with his stuff after hours.. Coops Supra (gift) is still sitting there with barely anything done to it. Way more respect to James! JMO

@@Sm0kEyX420 Being a bit harsh. At a guess the work that Coops does in the background is probably the reason this channel gets to do what they do (&) have you watched this [krplus.net/bidio/dap9oJhmmYysqII] Seems that Coop's put in the hours away from the channel & just because there is nothing on the channel doesn't man that nothing is happening on different fronts. Case in point, all the talk re James and this video has come about because of this video, if the video wasn't done then no one would be the wiser.

Always thinking it seems, always thinking through what the car is doing.

He's certainly the mechanical brains of the situation.

Agreed 100%! He's so chill, but he is a careful thinker and has tons of skill hiding behind that humble demeanor.

Heat shrink tool holders for CNC mills are an awesome thing for sure.

What about the crank seal tho. No distorting from the heat

CoyoteS197 no it is fine that method has been in use for years

Bearing heaters man!

Yep! Steel will generally grow by about 1 thou per 100 degrees. So heat it up to 700 and you give yourself about 7thou of space for an interference fit.

Zac Larkby Me too!!!!!!

How many race cars does this man have?!

Be his new burnout car

Alex Elrod Every time James breaks an Axel he buys a new car.

@@AtomicAlma Better not be!
I grew up at the race track, that would break my heart.

Very talented mechanic.

haha i was thinking the same thing, whats his old lady say? When my mustache gets too long my wife bitches about kissing me.

He shaved I think

Sportin the quarenbeard

interesting choice of words

79tazman “red headed step sister” 😂🤣👌🏻

Ruby has a huge aerodynamic advantage

@@RubberMuffin and an automatic

0778drz110 and a lot more reliable

Can't blame him, the consistency of an auto drag car is nice.

@@based_will you haven't seen Leroy then

Getting older Leroy is a wild ride .

he's already said he doesn't have as much fun in leroy as he used to since he did the alternator delete. can't just hop in and go for a drive whenever he wants.

He already addressed this. He said he doesn't like driving leeroy because it takes the whole crew to do a run with it. He can't street drive it.
Planned on putting a charging system back on the car, and increasing coolant system so he can street drive it.

Max Bakken Gotta Stay positive and motivated!

Thanks for spoiling the video T.T

@@KnightmareFrame92 why would you read the comments before you watch?

@@christopherviar Sometimes it's nice to check out the commentary

hashatron I can tell you For Sure we do not hear it like they do Because it of course camera Mic but mainly how sound bounces off of other objects that we might not see in the camera frame I know there has been a couple of situations where engines running and noises they make sound completely different person

Love me a good lope

Cam chop

Yup, sounds like a 427 with cams and headers, just like George Washington intended.

Add a turbo blanket too, keep all the heat in

It does have a tendency to eat the pipe when it gets wet, even with ceramic coating. I don't know if they plan on driving in the rain anymore.

Ceramic is nice.

Thank you ,Jake you are a voice of reason. it's cheap insurance.

'merica

You've got to hand it to everyone involved in the smart car build, the thing is totally insane. Talk about American ingenuity, that's what that car screams, no doubt about it. Congrats again to all those involved. 😎

I can not wait to see that thing rip

I am really curious how they will keep the smart car planted on the ground

@@steverebuilds152 In a boosted boiz video, Brent from PFI said something about it being a wheelie car (Like the ones that stick up the whole way down the track).

Rip

I don't know why people like comments talking about how early they got to the video which is unoriginal and really is nothing special we all click when we get notified rather than a practical comment that compliments the crew its baffling i liked your comment because James is a beast around anything ls and cars in general

boxed fenders I’m the first reply to your comment

8 Hours down under in Australia!

S B was gunna say 2days is a bloody long time to do an engine swap.same here in England looking about 6-8hrs in our grass track cars bro!!👍🏻🇬🇧👌🏻

Yeah it's the same ish motor going in. Isnt that hard.

Ikr, like, what engine is Leroy getting? I think a 572 twin turbo chevy would send it all the way there

Right Leroy is the best

rcfreak781 Leroy is going 1/8th running or so they have been saying.

No they aren’t going 1/8 mile the goal is to work on the 1/8 because it’s extremely lacking compared to a lot of the stick shift competition.

@@bbdl7042 yea their back end is about as good as its gonna get without aero

@@joebarra1010 Be cool if someone could make a clear body for him even just for a few passes to compare times, get to still see all of Leroy as it is but also see some really fast passes

Fixing the 330 ( biggest problem ) will more than likely fix the car walking on the big end so it’ll do better on the top end. For along time it was just add power now it’s make it go straight without fighting it to death.

Was exactly my first thought 😂

CarbonSickle gotta impress the boss where you can

So I guess James got Buffy when Cleetus got the new rig

I think they said a couple videos back he's getting a 9 inch

He has said he plans to do a solid swap at some point. With new turbo it might be sooner rather than later now.
Although, turbos don't hit nearly as hard down low as nitrous does. Turbos ramp up differently. Nitrous tends to be more all at once type deals.

Jhett Lockard good deal. Doubt that stock 240 axle would hold up to what he is going to do to it

TheManistheshit i was thinking the same. I was thinking he needs to put a slipper clutch like Leroy’s while he’s at it to go a little easier on those axles while at the same time getting great 60 foots.

@@srcastic8764 the 240 doesn't have a manual transmission.

hyb

@@TeddyFleming hyb

I see ruby in the 6s soon

Poor Leroy's is going to get gapped

Has leroy ever run a 7 with water in it? I forget, it's been so long

😂😂

How long has it been now? At this point, it wouldn't feel like Ruby without that thing laying across the top!

Yea same but I pictured a bunch of children running around with buckets on their heads

really it should have a 101mm on it... just saying. It is a 427.

Austin Hentges I remember when ruby was supposed to get a hood lol

I remember when Ruby was supposed to be a junkyard/used parts drag car Lol

If it aint broke don't fix it! 🤷‍♂️🤣

I bet a year Ruby will be faster than Leroy

Remember when Ruby would never get an automatic cus thats not 'murica and Cleet would make fun of James for liking powerglides lol

Diesels are so dirty. The Galaxy is enough.

should be sent to whistlin diesel...

I think they'll get it, once they just take the doors off and maybe help with weight distribution.
