Hey Cleetus. This is the last of your uploads I'm gonna see for a while. I ship out for the Army tomorrow. You are undoubtedly my favorite person to watch right now. I'm gonna miss seeing Leroy tear down the track with 1 of Holley's hot tunes in it. Keep on lettin her rip, taterchip. Hell yeah brother
Shit for as much as Leroy lived on the limiter and high RPM full send all the time very impressive that it held up for over 300 passes.. and it's still only broke when you pretty much forced it to lol .. awesome man
@@scrappyclappedoutfoxbody4174 you're right it lasted super long had it been a coyote the first time it saw the limiter it would have blown itself up.. it has hundreds and hundreds of over 1000 horsepower passes and thousands of miles of driving and beating the shit outta it... Your sarcasm is funny... Because if it wasn't actual sarcasm your just plain stupid when it comes to engines and racing
What I have used in the past is a Cart/Work bench with heavy-duty casters. Raise vehicle lower down to cart. Unbolt all and raise up lift. Works great to move around shop swap parts ets. Normally we would use for full swaps chassis suspention etc.Once all bolted on Position than lower vehicle and finish up.
Rcrawler89 honestly he doesn’t work on his own car that much, sure he swaps the engine but it’s all built before he gets it, boostedboiz are better for doing all their own stuff
It’s crazy how Cleetus said how Leroy’s engine held for 300 passes, which if you do the math, 300 quarter-mile passes are equal to roughly 75 miles. If you include driving back to the pits, city driving, half mile events, and dyno testing, that engine should only have about 200 to 250 miles on it. For what the engine is used for, that’s pretty good, but for a normal car engine it would be hilarious.
Lets at least add 20 miles for shenanigans of getting a Christmas tree, Mt. Dew and driving back to the pits. Plus, the only reason the engine has any problems is because he did runs first with more boost than it could handle then he did runs without coolant. Take the coolant out of a "normal car" at 200-250 miles and drive the fuck out of it like they did and it wouldn't be as funny. Just sayin......
Plus add when Big Monica was out of fuel and they went to take more out, add the miles froms burnouts (example wheels spinning at 60mph for one minute is 1 mile), add the drifts and hoonigan stuff etc, i see what you mean but this is a race engine, im still fucking impress by its reliability! But yeah, saying the engine has less than 1000 miles it's kinda funny to compare
Next motor, tally the Dyno pulls, the number of passes and keep a record, Texas speed can include a rough estimate of the amount of abuse third motor can take on thier website. Been here since the day y'all bought the custom made leroy, by Leroy😆😂😂
That's nice work from Texas speed for an engine being pushed that hard without coolant to hold up so well. I've seen piston & Rods break free in a engine doing the same thing as you guy's did to Leroy on that last run. Respect to Texas Speed for awesome workmanship.
@@Dalvin2k I wonder if the other manufacturers know how much Ford bashes the other manufacturers in all those "why you should choose Ford over × car". dont think companies are allowed to directly do that on television
I know Leeroy it's a stripped C5, but it should have a lightweight body! Like it's C5 Corvette silhouette, it should help with the aerodynamics. Also you can put more sponsors on it.
Hell Yeah Brother! Cant wait to see what Leroy can do with that new engine. Also, so happy to see the new cage work. I was worried you might go visit ole Dale in Valhalla.
It is amazing to see the bottom end surviving like that. My neighbor has a LS1 in his Holden Caprice, dead stock and granny driven every where until it snapped a rod a couple weeks ago... Never seen or heard of that before and certainly no warning either.
I wish I could give this more than one thumbs up. The whole reason I gravitate towards you and BB Kyle is you guys do your own work. I know you're a well off dude and could afford to have this work done for you. But you getting in there and doing it yourself along with your buddies really makes me love you guys. I work with tools everyday, and I love your content. Please keep it up! Luv, Eric (SWA AMT)
I recently stated it would be a big leap to the 7s and lots of hard work, 2 days later he was 7.80s...so to help the cause I will state no way in hell will he ever run 6's.... I'm sure next week he will go 6.94 just to make me look bad.... I don't care, I can take the abuse....Never will he run 6 seconds... LoL
He could probably do it if he went to bigger tires. that and his transmission situation are probably going to be the big limiters in my mind for hitting a 6 but who knows, people said he would never go a 7 on that setup and look where he is now.
My favorite thing about this RUclips channel is that Cleetus doesnt snake you like other RUclipsrs..he doesnt just show you the new engine and make that a video, he shows you the engine and then puts the damn thing into the car..i love it
Stay safe Garret. Glad to see you still so excited, and really glad to see you beefing up your cage and parachute. That thing is silly fast, and it would be a joy to see you chase down the Red Demon with the C5. Might need some body panels for that one though.
The bearings eating themselves up and leaving metal all throughout the oil system won't have any impact on the impeller or turbine wheels. It didn't shit a valve and the bearing material didn't enter the combustion chamber. So there is no reason for a proper inspection of the blades on either the compressor or turbine wheels...
That happens when debris, sand/dirt have gone through the turbo or water injection is sprayed in the turbo inlet. Doing a bearing in your motor can't damage the comp or turbine wheels. Fuck me drunk guys. Y'all need to learn a bit more about engines
Yea just spun #4 bearing myself on the track... Racecar life. For the record you would need to replace the discolored rod as well as the bearing. With all that metal in the oil you would want to replace all the bearings and the oil pump. Soooo full engine rebuild. I am actually taking this opportunity to replace and upgrade my whole rotating assy. Great work. Also think about spraying some clear rustolium under the car to save all the nostalgia for when Leroy is in that museum.
Probably because of the loop they added over the driver's seat. They probably figured that the loop was going to be strong enough and adding the x-bracing would just be redundant and unnecessary extra weight. Oooorrr they ran out of time and are planning on finishing it after LS Fest.
By far my favorite RUclips channel, you and Boostedboiz are the only ones that really go into depth into the builds and get their hands dirty, love the content do it for Dale and Murcia!
Brother I saw the caption for this video and was immediately concerned for your safety, TOTALLY appropriate to introduce a new cage first thing. Wish you all the luck in the world with this kick ass build!
@@Toxic2T it's been around for over 21 years. The 4.6 broke 6s 15 years ago and broke 5s 10 years ago. Even with all the aftermarket the LS should be able to keep up. But when you consider that the LS is a dirsct copy of the Ford small block it should have success
it s good to notice that other people s projects spiral out of control like mine did.i bought a mellow blown 468 and planned just cruising with it but after a while bigger blower,dart 345 heads and roller gear etc were somehow found in the shop.it became a 9 sec cruise mobile.
So excited to see Leroy getting upgraded I've been watching since day one and feel like he's all grown up now, it's really full send now with the new engine damn it's a beauty, hell yeah brother✌
P.s. get a dry sump. I run one on a simple track built LS3, when you go so fast round a bend or in a line, you will get oil moving from its' intended location in them. When you get really serious you need to also look at return lines from your heads. Call John at Aviaid and he will sort you out bro.
It always drives me insane to see these high power cars replace their clutches and head gaskets after every race event. Not Leroy. That sucker ran the same freaking clutch and head gasket for hundreds of runs. That is my kind of track car.
Amazing seeing these old videos to where it's at now is just insane from renting space to a race track, shop and tons of new things the blow up was real lol
Look up the ariel atom, cleetus, just put a splitter and a cover on part of the engine and ur drag coefficient changes drastically, even if its just on the manifold and intake pipes
As far as I have been told, iron holds onto heat more than alluminum does. Hopefully uou had time to see if the cooling system was up to the task before LS Fest. Other than that, the iron block should be able to handle everything you want to do with it. Happy digging and burnouts from Washingtone State.
Texas speed really are killing it I mean how many other motors have u seen take all that you've put that 427 though.Me personally I haven't seen many. And this new one will do just as good if not better 200 here we come💪U.S.A💪
Maiden, 1300hp and 30 psi is not a big ask for a modern engine design. Plenty of daily driven 4L Barras do that with factory block and head. That LS has design limitations causing the head to lift.
Are you serious??? People do the same thing with junkyard 5.3L or cast iron 6L and put thousands of hard driven miles on them- including burnouts and racing.And i think you'll find most of it's runs were done in the low 20's (P.S.I)
Glad to see you got the cage on LeRoy upgraded you were going to fast in the cage that was in LeRoy before the upgrade. LeRoy's new engine looks pretty sic Good Luck on your's and LeRoy's quest to join the 200mph club
And I thought my favorite project car couldn't get any better. It's awesome that you guys do all the work yourself. Let the quest for 200 mph begin! Gonna be a crazy ride!
I remember an old vid of two 2004-5 GTOs that were close to stock and evenly matched. They swapped a passenger (probably 175lbs.) and it reversed the race, each guy w/o passenger just barely rolled away from the other. That's not just 175lbs., that's -175 and +175 to the other car, to barely change a slow race. This 80lbs is going to be all muscle, no fat! ☻
Texas Speed was posting a lot of photos of this engine during the build. Can not wait to see it perform. Also, are those Stock Rocker Arms on your first engine? I assume there is trunion upgrades in them tho. Just impresses me how well the LS is build and how much it can handle, tho I think the Limit of stock Rocker Arms is around 400 Lbs of open spring pressure with around .620 lift. I am still running stock rockers on my built 5.3 with CHE Bronze Bushings.
I can see the future and this is what's gunna go down, place your bets!! Lol he will hit 200mph, but it will be days of being at 198 or 199 pulling your hair out not knowing what else to do then you will do a pass and hit 204 blowing past your goal and doing it in a Dale type fashion!! Hell ya brother!! Like if you agree!! Or place your numbers that you think he will do once he gets to the 200 mph range!! Hell ya brother!!
Maybe move the battery to the back to help with the new weight up front? Should fit next to the water tank. Easy fix, just need Pro Fab to make a quick battery box.
@Cleetus You should have someone go back through every video since Leroy has gotten the aluminum engine and count exactly how many dyno pulls, track launches, hell even burn outs. That'd be so cool to see the actual numbers
Bro I have to say you have come a long way in one year... you started out as a Goofy funny guy to a damm down right serious racer. You and your crew have worked your ass off to make things happen ..... ... it's great to see that you have NOT turned out to be a jerk after some success and remained Focused on your goals ... I will be your cheerlaeder for that 200 mph bench mark...
All your vids have been great all year long. Ive watched all of them, ive spent so much time watching you and jeremy's channel i almost cancelled netflix. Thanks for the awesome entertainment.
Dude I swear to God I am so freaking proud of you guys for all that you have done to that Corvette it is an amazing machine that's for damn sure you guys should be so proud I know I would be that is absolutely mind-blowing and beautiful seriously I'm so happy for all of you you guys are an amazing crew of gentleman and women and deserve nothing but happiness because of what you guys do with paying everything forward you guys are always in my prayers and I love you guys so much you guys seriously feel like family to me thank you so much for the positiveness from your videos thank you thank you thank you so so so much you guys are truly amazing. On my worst day ..I can watch your vodeos regardless if I've watched it 5 times I could watch the video five more times and still be entertained because you guys are so magnificently positively beautiful people I look forward to all of your future videos and wish you guys nothing but happiness along the way every single one of your projects have a meaning behind them and you are a beautiful person Cletus that's for dang sure. I would truly love to meet you all in person that would make my life I've never been to Florida before but I have always dreamt of what it would be like.
Not gonna lie. Was just hoping he would comment back and say what plans he has, if any. Obviously he has a lot of stuff going on. U guys act like I said "dam it Garret, get on that got dam razr and say fuck your priorities" 😂
So glad you upgraded your cage I was getting paranoid the faster you went... And good god damn the new engine for Leroy is next level... Congrats...
GixxerDad 600 needs a new seat too
Amen. Safety first. If he had had a fatal accident in leroy, it wouldve killed my soul.
now if he could just close his visor when making runs.
Right, lol. We cannot afford to lose this human .

Stock corvette displacement. If you want to set a record, there's parameters.
Never need over 500 cubic inches. Pro mods have a 500 inch limit and make amazing power
Glad to see you got the cage on LeRoy upgraded you were going to fast in the cage that was in LeRoy before the upgrade. LeRoy's new engine looks pretty sic Good Luck on your's and LeRoy's quest to join the 200mph club
Send me leroys first motor I would not mind at all! 😀😀😀
I used to watch boosted boys I started watching you and I love this way more love the way your serious about your cars and the new cage looks amazing
Will the unicorn finally fall victim to Leroy the Savage? I'm thinking yes!
@plnkfloydian me too
And I thought my favorite project car couldn't get any better. It's awesome that you guys do all the work yourself. Let the quest for 200 mph begin! Gonna be a crazy ride!
Thought they were going to x the top too?
Coolant's heavy. For faster between run cooling, change the oil with some cold stuff you iced down
Haven’t seen anything about differential fix. Any upgrades to tell?
Best commercial ever for quality car components,and best line ever “ car runs the best before it comes apart”
What happened to putting an x on the roof? Thought they were doing that
Kinda wondering how he's gonna stuff himself into the caw.
Andy Taylor just climb towards the wheel and slide back. I had racing seats in my 99 cobra and I had to rub the steering wheel to get over the bolster
Matt Parks dude cleetus is fuckin hugge literally he towered over me an I’m 5’11😂
@@dallasjaramillo259 That's not tall at all lol. So it makes sense he towered over you.
StreetSavage 614 I think he’s like 6’4”
The new heart of Leroy is looking sick as hell, you can feel the freedom within just by looking at it!
Break records...... check!
Add more weight...... check!
Break more records......pending lol
I cant wait.!!!
bwash86 Would you please give my racing channel a Subscribe I have plenty of videos for you to enjoy
Daves Racing Channel spread the love for me
Gotcha 👍
Man so stoked for the new safety mods! That cage looks AMAZING!
cleetus your the best on youtube by far can you do more on neighbor car please
When you dropped the oil pan Leroy showed the price for his freedom! As always, nice video. Hell yeah brother!
To he fair, to only gain around 80lbs switching from an all aluminum to an iron block... that's not too bad on that one. 200 OR BUST
Especially when you know you can send the boost to a ridiculous number and not worry about it.
@@ThisGuyDrives exactly! Cant wait to hear it too!
I remember an old vid of two 2004-5 GTOs that were close to stock and evenly matched. They swapped a passenger (probably 175lbs.) and it reversed the race, each guy w/o passenger just barely rolled away from the other. That's not just 175lbs., that's -175 and +175 to the other car, to barely change a slow race. This 80lbs is going to be all muscle, no fat! ☻
Texas Speed was posting a lot of photos of this engine during the build. Can not wait to see it perform.
Also, are those Stock Rocker Arms on your first engine? I assume there is trunion upgrades in them tho. Just impresses me how well the LS is build and how much it can handle, tho I think the Limit of stock Rocker Arms is around 400 Lbs of open spring pressure with around .620 lift.
I am still running stock rockers on my built 5.3 with CHE Bronze Bushings.
I can see the future and this is what's gunna go down, place your bets!! Lol he will hit 200mph, but it will be days of being at 198 or 199 pulling your hair out not knowing what else to do then you will do a pass and hit 204 blowing past your goal and doing it in a Dale type fashion!! Hell ya brother!! Like if you agree!! Or place your numbers that you think he will do once he gets to the 200 mph range!! Hell ya brother!!
Ima go with 2 weeks of 190 to 195 and then he'll hit 202 mph at the right event.
Maybe move the battery to the back to help with the new weight up front? Should fit next to the water tank. Easy fix, just need Pro Fab to make a quick battery box.
Yes its freaking orange just like I said
@Cleetus You should have someone go back through every video since Leroy has gotten the aluminum engine and count exactly how many dyno pulls, track launches, hell even burn outs. That'd be so cool to see the actual numbers
Get halo seats for maximum safety!!!
Arijus Toleikis Would you please give my racing channel a Subscribe I have plenty of videos for you to enjoy
What is up from Minneapolis Minnesota? So fun to watch you guys, you all are crazy, road to 200, Peace
Cleetus now got a flag pole holder for the Leroy and I don’t think cleetus saw lolol
Yeah i saw that!
It's been there, it has two of them, when he was with the hooigans last, he was using them
Bro I have to say you have come a long way in one year... you started out as a Goofy funny guy to a damm down right serious racer.
You and your crew have worked your ass off to make things happen ..... ... it's great to see that you have NOT turned out to be a jerk after some success and remained Focused on your goals ...
I will be your cheerlaeder for that 200 mph bench mark...
Throw me a Bartle Skeet and call me Dale, Leroy’s new engine is bleeding more freedom than:
(Finish the sentence)
[Content Deleted] Then when run around yelling Yee Yee
[Content Deleted] 1000 bald eagles
Abraham Lincoln's Head
Lady Liberty on her Peroid!
A bald Eagle fight club! First rule about fight club..? More bald eagles.
Clear plastic body panels , flat between rails of cage work .. Like beach buggy windows are fitted sometimes ... Would look epic ! And add aero..
How about a Labor Day coupon code for merch? Help this workin man out!!!!!
Can't wait to see what the Engine will do 1nce yall get her ready to Rip... Keep up the good work Boys... #DoinItForDale
Makes me very glad to see you concern for safety brother. Keep on er!!
Go to World Cup finals at Maryland international raceway please I beg you
All your vids have been great all year long. Ive watched all of them, ive spent so much time watching you and jeremy's channel i almost cancelled netflix. Thanks for the awesome entertainment.
You should put a funny car type sheel over leroy for the 200 mph pass
My thoughts exactly...
May have too. The broad side of a bar has better aero than Leroy currently has.
I'd bet if it had better aero, it would be in the very low 7's already, maybe even 6's.
Or like a stock car shell because it’s smaller
Yes, get a custom built 1 piece funny car body to put on Leroy, and make sure it can be easily removable for shows and such, and it would be perfect
Thanks for the cage upgrade. I will worry less now. Thanks to all of you again for a great vid.
Lil ripper goes into the side by side???
Kyler Adams fuck it ls swap a moped while we’re at it 😂

You guys rock! Can’t wait to hear Leroy 2.0 fire up and blaze 200 mph. Get,er done for Dale!!
When will you guys start the razr build? Been sitting in the shop since you guys moved in lol
Not gonna lie. Was just hoping he would comment back and say what plans he has, if any. Obviously he has a lot of stuff going on. U guys act like I said "dam it Garret, get on that got dam razr and say fuck your priorities" 😂
At this point he should just outsource it to Jeremy. Surprised he hasn't yet, because at this pace, no way he'll ever get to it.
Hel get to it, just like he's done with everything else. Only time will tell. I'm glad they been doing daily videos since they been home
