Don't feel guilty about doing ads brother, we know you're a great guy and investing it right back into making even better content!
Gmc syclone for your spectator drag car cleeter
I wish you would do your plugs closer to the end instead of the beginning.
We need a Sam's detailing shirt! He's keeping the Cleeter fleet looking icy!!
Already a branded company called "Sam's detailing" that could turn around an not be happy with that 🤷🏽♂️
Yes for the Sam shirt
@@MorganD99
Not gonna says Sam's detailing company... but a funky phrase about who he is and what he does...the company would be under what ever account he's paid under.

Polishing turds to perfection est. 2021
Metal O-ring and copper headgaskets should be on ALL the big boy drag cars I.E. Ruby, Leroy, and Mullett tbh...they save blocks and make headrepairs easier and seal so much better
Top fuel hoops and dry deck the block and heads. Biggest studs you can get.
These cars are fun to watch develop and are a big part of the channel, but they are not near "big boy drag cars"! A Drag Week" car that runs in the sixes is a rare bird. There are very few running right now. If they want "mullet" to be one of those it will take a full-time effort. This is a busy operation! Garrett has a lot going on. A dedicated team and shop may be the next move.
Forsure I didn’t know they didn’t have hoops already.
@Paul Copeland and drag week only proves it more too what kinda cars they are as well. It’s hard to build a reliable fast drag car that can street drive.
The original engine for Leroy had the top fuel hoops on it. That's how they were able to run it even when it blew out the head gaskets. They drained the coolant and then ran a 7.86
I figured they were still running those on all the high horsepower engines.
Kevin: Decel is a lot of load on a motor
Cleet: sick, still keeps her in gear in decel 🤣
Freaking love that Sam is becoming a "regular" on the channel! The man's out there just living his best life with Cleeter and the boys!
Sam merch when??
Really liked seeing and hearing everyones input on getting mullet to get down track . I like hearing all the tech talk .
Agreed. Commented almost the exact same thing at the same time haha
Only problem with that is now there’s multiple people trying to make decisions on the car how cleet mentioned in a different video so it can be a gift and a curse
I like that you add more of the discussion and team thoughts/problem solving inbetween runs now. It's like a short more natural behind the scenes conversation of getting the cars dialed to go down the track
At least the transmission holds together long enough to find the engine problem. You'll get the bugs worked out, it's still a pretty fresh build.
I ain't even mad that Mullet didn't end up as a jet car. He's a full send rager now YeeYee!!!!!!!!
Hey brother I love how you have brought life back to the Race track. In a time when so many people wanna see the car lifestyle/culture change in ways that takes away the freedoms to it. Thanks for bringing back so FREEDOM!!!!
I've been hoping he could do that so some of us could enjoy racing there too.
So glad to hear Kevin recommend neutraling on the shut down. Steve Morris has pointed out premature failures for this very reason, people that let the engine do the braking. Very stressful on a engine.
You can damage the transmission if it doesn’t actually have a clean neutral.
Could also make your tranny grenade.. it's all about compromise.. this for that.
@@Racing11gt yeah it's gotta be a free neutral but this trannny shouldn't be a problem.
@@SouthernSpeedVideos guess it depends on which part costs more, engine or transmission... LOL
and yet cleetus never did it on the passes in this video lol
Funny the issues there are the same ones you run into with a 4l80e, shifting earlier etc
I love how all this started in Leroy and it’s landed cleet here. Such a great group of guys even when it was just cleet and cooper. I’ve been watching since I was 15 (I’m now 19) and I’ve learned so much and had so much entertainment watching cleet take off.
That is incredible Kevin has the tech genius to think to program a safety protocol to protect the engine if it detects a abnormal coolant pressure .
Its all them sensors.. More data the better
Sensors are amazing. If I was building a car, I'd definitely go hog wild with sensors because the stuff that is out there and the amount of inputs these ECUs can take is staggering. I feel like sensors are the main reason forced induction has become so "easy" compared to say in the 70s and 80s.
If he was the first guy to come up with it sure but I don't think it's a secret if you think head gasket might be an issue it's probably standard practices
I think he just saved mullet
Never wondered why they have almost a hundred sensors on an F1 car? Every bit of data counts. I'm not sure about Holley but with Motec you can write any logic you want to modify the engine in the even of change.
Kevin "deccel is a lot of load on the engine, especially locked up."
Cleetus thinking about the end of every 1/4 mile pass in Leroy ever "okay"
My heart goes out to you boys...a lot of blood, sweat and tears to get into those sixes.... but the whole community is right behind you all.. great team effort. Cmon Mullet....
Gotta love Kevin for all the safeties he builds in.
So.. The blazer has an evergreen wheelie bar now.
Man it’s cool seeing your team of friends all having their part. Love how everyone gets along and doesn’t step on each others shoes, every oke knows their purpose, what a great team you got man. Would be a dream of mine to be on a team like that.
Yeah man he’s really livin every car guys dream
You've got the World by the balls right now my friend, my God, living the life. I'm definitely jealous. I'm turning 50 and had to sell the hot rod that I was building for dad, because he passed. Everyday you wake up, live it like your last day.

I love this channel so much the amazing amount of work that goes into a super sick drag car is just fascinating. The testing the tuning this content is definitely my favourite part of this channel!!!!
Kevin looked soo gutted you could almost feel his pain
When you have a vehicle that is staked on your reputation and it’s constantly having problems on a National platform I’m sure it can be stressful. Granted head gaskets and transmissions aren’t really his fault but after a while I’m sure it gets old fast. But the man clearly understands something that is constantly being tested with new parts and suspension set ups is just going to have trials and tribulations. They got spoiled with Ruby just a work horse and a combo that has just worked for them…Mullett is definitely making them work for it
@@maxxphat87 they're taking a much bigger step with this one. Going from 7s to 6s is harder on everything.
@@ryanlamfers8692 that's for sure and a LOT of these fans don't quite understand how fast 6's are and the stress too all the components it takes. They don't have 3 spare blocks and 10 sets of heads on standby after every pass for top fuel cars for the fun of it.... this car will be in the 6's by the end of February 2k22 and then struggle again with new issues. It is a very expensive milestone to maintain. Everyone talks about big chief and look at where his pro mod went in the quarter..... best was a3.38- 5.42 I believe and the times the talk about on the show with the "I remeber when I had a 4.40 car" they are talking about to the eighth.... 🤷🏽♂️🙃✌🏼
Tough break fellas!
Luckily it doesn't seem too terrible.
And Kevin might be on to something with those "topfuel hoops" he mentioned.... it might be that time for ya'll. Plus look at how well they hold up, just ask Kyle and Brent.
It’s called a fire ring
@@jonathanedwards8913 they have different versions a top fuel hoops is what they are talking about TKM does it to there engines all the time it's a solid machined in piece fire ring is just copper with split at the end same concept kinda but the hoops are way better having no gap and being machined to engine
I think what that T400 really needs is a nice SMX to complement everything. TSP 427's are awesome and all, but Morris's stuff is on another level entirely.
Yes yes it is
But this was the last transmission he ever had to buy
Cleeter is sitting on a SM 540 BBC. Said it was for the ramp truck at the FF. But it's been so long who knows what the plan is
If he has to turn the LS down to not blow the tires off, an SMX or other Pro Mod type motor is the last thing he needs
@@randomguy9635 I think he would also put big tires on it.
"We barely got started"..... more like just hit your stride! Mullet is going to EAT when it is dialed. What a weapon.
“That was like driving ms daisy!”
George is my favorite thing to happen to this channel in years.
The Dark bot copied your comment. You must be special.
Found George’s burner
No matter how many times you break a car, or miss out on events, we’ll still be here until you run with the big boys and stay on top consistently!
As a person who tractor pulls and builds Pro Stock pulling tractor engines with turbos in excess of 150mm. C-rings and no head gaskets or fire rings and copper head gaskets. But all the Pro Stock engines are c-rings and head directly on block.
I feel like copper gaskets and a fire ring are the way to go!
Kevin killing it as always
literally saved the engine thank to having set up safety features properly
It's always fun when we get to have Keven at the track days. He works so well with the Cleetus team.
Need more of these type of videos. Love them and this group of guys and gals!
James and that leaf blower had me absolutely dying!
I still wouldn't shut the engine off on the big end at high speed even with the safe neutral. That is one of two very important rules of the TH400. The other being always start your burnout in 2nd gear.
why would the gearbox matter if you neutral it ?
Not sure but engine off no transfluid pump?
@@Nebbia_affaraccimiei Because with a TH400 putting the trans in Neutral at high speed will cause the direct drum to double in RPM and could explode from over spinning it.
@@1nitrousmustang yes never shift a t350 or 400 to neutral the drums accelerate to huge speeds and tend to fragment like a frag grenade let alone the wear on parts
We need George back on the camera because his energy was just right on the line.
He sounds sick. Give it a couple videos
Being back George this video was boring

@@masterbates7016 George is behind the camera. His voice is different and he's sick. He'll be back
Man i just lost my mom yesterday and I needed some kind of get away to clear my head and your video is what did it for me. Thank you
I used to own an AA/FC and this video really makes me feel old. Damn El Camino running times that would win top fuel events just a few years ago! Most of our tuning between rounds was an educated guess at best. We had years of set ups from when we ran the track before, but so many variables. To my crew chiefs credit we only destroyed one engine in fifteen years of racing. I really appreciate you sharing some of the tuning decisions as they are being implemented. Do it for Dale 100%
Time to o-ring the block and run copper head gaskets for sure.
I figured they already would have had the o rings on it. I swear that leroy had them at some point
Just get a TKM engine. Texas speed seem to have a fairly low limit...
Yep ,👍
@@Jake_Hamlin it needs a SMX

@@Steve82864 I was talking to @boosted lifestyle
Driving the Mullet down a lot of records and history on that track! From '77 to '07 we were there every year while we lived in Gainesville. My buddy work for Frank Hawley's drag school for years and the old wooden timing shack is out on his property in Hawthorne. Respect the track!
Need to have TKM performance do their top fuel hoops like Kevin said. John Doc is running more power and more boost with them and never has an issue.
9:40 - Cleetus decels in gear after being told by Kevin to start putting it in neutral at the end of a run. C’mon Cleeter!
I wonder if Kevin can program it so that the air shifter pops it into neutral automatically when the chute is thrown.
@@garrettstevens2232 Im sure Kevin could figure it out, dude doesn't seem to have " can't, won't, don't, or doesn't" in his vocabulary. Seems if he doesn't know how to do something, he's quick to learn it. One hell of a racer/tuner/builder/guy in my hmo.
Yeah he ended up.doing it just must have forgot
What Kevin said about the big guys putting the ring in the head is the best way to hold big power it’s worth doing Cletus
Is this the same concept as Fire Rings in the Performance Diesel world?
No, people do O-ringed heads in the diesel world too. O-ringed heads have a stainless ring that protrudes out of a groove machined in the head that puts extra pressure on the gasket around the combustion chamber. Fire rings completely eliminate the fire ring on the head gasket and are your only seal for combustion, they hold more boost but tend to leak over time so they’re not good for street vehicles.
I’m with Kevin, needs top fuel hoops at the hps that y’all are getting into. The hoops require the block and heads to be machined, TKM has mini hoops that they make in house I think, they only require the block or the heads to be machined for the hoop, and they’re bigger than an o-ring set up.
A really tough break hopefully no significant damage. And I totally understand the frustration with all the coin that you have thrown at that race car you would think it would be a lot easier to achieve your goals of being in a six second arena. As always really enjoy the content in the video! keep your heads up you guys will get there. We need more moonshine videos too. Dr Tune them all.
TKM Black Sheep for mullet Texas Speed builds nice street engines but when you get to this caliber I think TKM is the go to for LS.
I agree but I think he needs to go to a Steve Morris SMX engine. Look at what Tom Baily does at his power levels!!!
@@wbr7869 tom Baily doesn't have an LS
@@ninaallen7849 Yup exactly!!! Not knocking a ls but for big power you need something like the SMK engine. That engine can take the power!!!
I just said this lol
@@wbr7869 I don’t think cleetus wants an engine he has to check valve lash on every day twice a day to make sure it’s not eating itself, like Tom does. A hydraulic roller LS can more than achieve his goal.
Time for a big boy motor Texas speed has given it everything lol
Not the most exciting days, but I'm so glad to see you guys doing some hardcore testing days. Mullet is absolutely itching to fly 6's, but gotta get the little issues sorted out first.
As soon as something bad happens. “ do it for dale we’ll freaking see you later”
I wish my life was this easy
Congratulations on the marriage cleet. Fired up for the oval racing this coming year.
At the power levels you are trying to make, flame hoops, or top fuel hoops are the way to go.
dude that is badass.....the way Kevin shifted it on the laptop badass....all the data sensors he has on there badass.....that car even tells you what the humidity is ... automatically adjust itself for fuel....BADASS
Such a great team of guys! Mad respect for all of you.
I dream of having a ripper like Donnie! 👍🏻 that intro was killer!
I am waiting on the big tire twin 102s with a nasty 3 step version of Mullet with 2500hp+ we know he is going to be the fastest car on the Channel by far.
I think once he gets six’s on the LS he’ll do a Steve Morris engine with some big bois.
Would love to see some big tire content!
If you need twin 102s to make 2500 you're doing something wrong.
@Jim jibroni yep he’s trying to go race engine numbers with a glorified street engine
@@stangtuner7487 thinking the same. The SMX , is gathering dust in the shop already.
I love videos like these with the tech talk not as flashy. Keep
Mixing these in
I'm enjoying the post run banter and conversations
I love how chill you guys all are. Kevin tuning the transmission while sitting on the ground was awesome.
TKM will install fire hoops in the heads that allow the use of MLS gaskets for $325. Just a thought.
Awesome to see Mullet back out on the track despite the hiccup at the end. By the way Congrats to you and Madison for your marriage. Kevin mentioned it in his last video. Hopefully many years of marriage to you both. Love the videos. Especially love Mullet. Such a beast of a car El Camino’s have always held a special place in my heart. Haven’t owned one but have always wanted to.
Love watching you guys at the drag strip. Mullet is starting to get real fast
Love that you guys never get beat down by these setbacks - new shirt suggestion; "There'll be a day, just not today"
Hope you can get this beast dialed. Hate seeing you struggling with it so long, but that’s racing for you
PLZ!!!!!!!!!! More of the banter in-between runs! Makes me the viewer feel more apart of what's going on! tytyty
Love these test and tunes. The knowledge is pretty impressive
I've been asking for months and months if Cleetus was having Texas Speed to put Top Fuel Hoops in the block and heads because they work up to 60 lbs of boost and go up to 90lbs because all the TKM cars have them and thats where I learn about them. John Doc ran a 4.15 e/t with a TKM hydraulic lifter LS
It was already hurt,, those fumes that Kevin spent time on resolving was actually a ring or two not seating. Back to Texas Speed!!
That engine to Corner of shop and a Steve morris or proline power plant between the rails needs to happen
Even though we aren't there in person to see this action, it's still really cool to watch on video. Definitely a lot of fun to watch the team working together to tweak Mullet. I'm not a drag racer but from what I can tell this new tranny is much much smoother. It really gets the power to wheels and power to the ground in a much smoother manner than the previous tranny. I would assume that means it has much more control of what the motor is putting out.
This is the content that I've been waiting for! Thank you!
Buddy, you’ve been going this fast without O-Rings. Now that’s some ambitious bald eagles right there
What a wealth of knowledge this crew you guys have assembled, mullet going low 7’s high 6’s soon
Holy Turbo Batman!! Mullet is my favorite car in the fleet!!
I love that sound shoes make on the grip surface! I need that sound as a notification!
I think it's less that you all go for too much and then have to back down, it's that you've had a lot of upgrades that have provided so much more power than expected, so your old tune ends up making so much more power. You've had it happen back to back to back.
Finally some spicy shifts and mind blowing 60 ft’s!
"mind blowing"?? Nope, not yet. I am sure they are looking for a couple of tenths somewhere.
Kevin nailed it on the head sounds like you need to have TKM go over it and install some top fuel hoops or just get Black Sheep engine from them problem solved
TKM? Black sheep engine?
@@ArthurTugwell look up John doc. Also a drag guy. He deals with tkm. Really good engine builders.
If it's any help, we love seeing how you guys scramble to fix issues and learn as you get your hands dirty 🤷🏻♂️ If it worked first time it would be dull (although 4th/5th would be good for your motivation 😉)
I love the fact you show the good with the bad. You take the bad so well. What's the saying "It is what it is".
Excited about all the events coming to the freedom factory 🏭
Tough break, but could have been much worse. Everyone left with all fingers and toes accounted for, car runs and drives. The rest is details. Keep it up! Loving it!
One of your best videos... awesome to see the process.
But as they say “That’s Racing”!!!
I’m running an o-ringed head.
35tho groove with piano wire carefully measured and tapped in. I also have receiver grooves machined in the block with custom copper head gasket.
The best thing is the gasket can be reused after annealing with an welding torch.
Way to stay positive. Keep pushing brother.
That start though hahahaha Im dying. Can't wait to see the tree drags again :) What a great group you all are
Them struggles of the tuning life i feel it but it was so satisfying to see u figure the shift points out and then get a good run
What better than having a smart engine
Awesome video, glad to see door panels on.... how he isn't hurt.
just watched the christmas tree video again from last year earlier this week. pumped for that to come out!
I can’t believe he hasn’t built a big tire car since he drove Toms
I hoped he'd go big tire with mullet... That car has big potential
@@OliCM3 he tends to go in stages since the content pays for I’m sure, almost everything. Mullet started out above ruby and Leroy power and money wise. It’s also been very tricky for them to figure out. I bet they’re trying to figure out the chassis before they tackle another huge step up. That turbo 400, and whatever engine they have in mullet when he goes Tom Morris engine, will just go straight to ruby, Leroy or the blazer.
@Erik Hyndman ?
@@OliCM3 it sure does but people have been deep into the 6’s on small tire so I reallyyyyyy hope they get this car figured out. I’m sure they will though. They’ve got a good crew
@@codywiththecamera2901 ya know I haven’t even thought about him getting a Steve Morris engine built. That’s actually a pretty guess. Makes perfect sense. I kinda wanna see the 632 go in the blazer 😂😂
Please make certain that 400 has a clean neutral before going into N at the finish line. It can cause some serious damage, and possibly bust open.
i believe Kevin replied to another comment saying that it has a clean neutral
This thing has the best pro mod lockup tranny you can buy. It has clean neutral lol
Kevin is so great, “maybe we accidentally did it on purpose”. I like that guy.
Love the fact you make your adds entertaining.
That Vette looks so nasty coming down the driveway
Congrats to everyone Who is early and who found this comment💙
I did
Yes
Shut up
Me too
Early again!
You put the best of the best parts in it and the best guys building it and there is still failure. No ones fault but it just shows the amount of extreme in these motors. Crazy. It will be dialed soon
Lol, that was the most epic/ awesome 27 second intro EVER!!!!! Heck Yeah Brother!
I love it when mullet gets his own video
Legend says cleetus is now a th400 believer and no long messing around with them power glides
Idk why it's always the best and funniest parts of the videos when u launch your cars with in person view, your eyes open so wide😂😂🤙
Let Kevin work his magic and go over that thing from nose to tail. Based on past videos of things failing, I wouldn't leave anything to chance.
Isnt mullet mostly a kevin build?
Kevin seems good at building but not so good at tubing the chassis and car to get down the track.
@@matthiasb6833 yep!
@@Racing11gt I think it’s been a case of too many chiefs and not enough Indians. It seems half a dozen people have their hands on that suspension.
@@motownpontiac kinda. They spent nearly a year trying to get it to work it and Tye seemed to get it figured out pretty damn quick.
I know this car is going to be crazy fast but look at the difference in ruby and this and Ruby is running 7.50s it's crazy lol
Ruby is a lot lighter...
Ruby with her new turbski will be in the 7.3-7.4 range now. Maybe faster.
No shit lol, I'm just talking about all the money and time out into mullet like transmissions and suspension and all the crazy fab work and the motor, trust me I'm not knock mullet it's probably my favorite car in the channel I'm just talking about the differences in the cars
@@mattr2115 it's just crazy to see how much more simple Ruby is and what it's doing compared to mullet, I'm sure mullet will be in the 6s at some point
Takes a long time to build a car like this and get it dialed. You don't just put it together and run 6's.
The ideas he comes up for the pubs are awesome!
Cheers, mate! Happens to the best of us! I’ll be seeing you in April! Got my VIP pass already! 🤘🏻🖤💀
I say this with the BEST of intentions. I love yall and ONLY want the best for everyone involved with this channel, and The Freedom Factory.
Cleetus needs to build another good habit besides putting the new trans in neutral at the end of the run - putting that helmet visor down EVERY run. Even more so when doing testing with new changes involved and running methanol.
It may sound elementary, but attach a small check list to the dash and go over it before every run before your burnout and as you are getting in the zone. Once the habit is established it will just be muscle memory.
God forbid he ever have a significant cabin fire with it up like he sometimes does. It can happen, and only takes one oversight. It would be terrible for Garrett and a big setback for the entire team.
I hate that Mullet is being so challenging to get dialed in, but I'm sure it will happen, hopefully soon, Good Lord Willing.
Wishing you the Merriest of Christmases and The Happiest of New Years EVER! As Always, May God Bless you and yours!
