Yes, more data analysis, please. I'm personally trying to get into becoming a tuner myself so I really enjoy watching and learning about that part of the process. Thanks Kevin!
Cool to see the converter explained like that. I have always been a car guy but transmissions are something I know the least about. I love the KSR knowledge
Hey Kevin, try putting a diode in reverse polarity in parallel to the trans brake solenoid. Install it right at the solenoid. Connect the negative side of the diode (the side marked with a line) to the positive side wire feed. This will prevent feed back current that gives you problems with the other electronics.
Great channel, after watching VGG getting old school basket cases to run again the content is probably a little above my head, but you do a great job of explaining things.
I watched my brother in law chase converters. I have always used Hughes. Made him call and bingo spot on. I have their parts in all my cars. Since 1993. Never an issue. Nothing against other vendors they make great parts too. Just my experience.Thanks for sharing this is a common problem with new builds.
Love the data analysis Kevin!!!! Would love to see much more of these!!! I've learned so much from your channel and I look forward to learning much more! Kick ass on sick week!!!
Kevin, the sheer amount of great work you’ve done across many channels is unparalleled. The unconscious attention to the most minute of details is just something that boggles my mind. Truly a master of your craft. Keep it up!!! 👍
Thank you for taking the time to film and edit these sessions Derek's, Independence Chevrolet. I know it must slow your progress, but I really appreciate and enjoy watching the entire process.
The data analysis was the bomb.💣Been looking at it for some time and I new some of the basics but being a retired mechanic most of the stuff I worked with back in my racing days was old school conventional stuff. I am fascinated by the ability to do as much as you can now and from what I've seen you are one of the best at what you do. Keep it coming...😁😎
I worked in the railroad signal industry for a while, designing electronics for locomotives and etc. In the signal house cabinet. It's like FRA rules that all the connections have that second jam nut. They used to build the signal houses so close to the train tracks that everything would rattle loose.
AWESOME JOB Kevin!!! Data Analysis at the end was awesome!!!!!!!!! Great entertaining and educational video as always!!!!!!!! Appreciate all the tips I've learned from this channel!!! and as always - GIVE ME ALL THE DATA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The dyno graph display during the rev. limit activation time period, comparing that line to the non-boosted ramp-up, provides clues that you locked onto. Experience is so valuable. Way to diagnose. Thanks!
Love that you go above and beyond for your customers man! Haven’t even got your own car ready and you are worried about others! Sucks that the mistake of the converter was made and wasted precious time but that’s how it goes in race cars! Thanks for the update Kevin
Great video and thanks for the voice-over data analysis at the end. I am personally trying to get into tuning myself but its hard to find the right teacher. Not many tuners in my area, if any at all, and I want to take advantage of that opportunity
I can relate because tuning EFI is extremely intimidating for beginners. I tried to get information from others on social media and tried their tunes but my engine didn't like the tunes so after 2.5 years of trying, I started listening to the engine and my father. Even though he grew up with carbs, he understands what engines like by sound and feel. Spent a year starting from scratch, made adjustments and now it revs quickly and it spins the tires like they're Prius tires.
Excellent job on the data dump. More of this please! It gives a full honest unbiased perspective on whats happening to the car. Having full data saves you from expensive and time consuming guesses. Thanks Kevin
I really like the talking over the time lapse. People explain what they're gonna do and then they show me a time lapse music video. The way you're doing it kills two birds with one stone and I appreciate it. I don't watch these videos for the music. THANK YOU
The red white and blue "KSR" was a nice touch. Really enjoy the tech stuff, you forced me to dusted off some brain cells on the anti-squat stuff. I remember working on that in the late 70's, working with instant center numbers and trying to "time" the transfer. Laugh, but we didn't have computers or go pros back then, but I had a buddy with a motor drive 35mm camera meet us at a "designated place" one afternoon and crank his camera up to take as many launch pics as possible, it helped....but I marvel at the tools you have today. LOVE then tech stuff. Dive as deep as ya can!
Any inductive load (like a line lock solenoid) is going to be murder on a relay or switch. You can add a diode in parallel with the switch, relay or even a computer input to clamp that voltage spike caused by the magnetic field collapsing. I'd even add one to the solid state system you are using. No drawback and takes a lot of load off the device. Keep rocking!
9:08 - Just want to say a BIG thanks to Kevin for showing the entire rear-end set up and how fabrication and components work together to achieve a goal. Even though it's completely different on my little 2012 Scion IQ smart car, I have to change out the front struts and rear shocks soon because the entire car is skipping and slidding over every bump. Yeah, it still has the original shocks and struts in it from 2012, OUCH!! So I'm on ebay right now getting the impact wrench, sockets, and spring compressor. I'll be replacing all the bushings, washer, boots, etc while I'm in there, so wish me luck guys!
Thorough and on-point, as always! It would be nice if you could talk a little about what makes a TC loose or tight when you install your spare TC in the next video. 😎
Independence is going to turn into a drag car dure to your and Drew's knowledge of building any car's. Awesome content as per usual Kevin. Your blog's are so informative with setting up car's. Aussie Fan 🤟🆒👍💯🔥👏💯
1. Time lapse with your narration is excellent. Keep it up. 2. You're teasing us with the 67 C10 in the background. We need lots of DATA on that build.
Thanks for explaining that stuff to get a better understanding of what's going on and now you ruled out the transmission. good thinking very interesting.
LMAO, Love how Derek painted "Pray for Me" on the diff cover. Prayers won`t help. Where did you learn all this stuff Kevin? Awesome content. Independence is in good hands. Love how you explain stuff you do to viewers.
The whole torque converter being loose is one reason why if I ever build out a drivetrain I want to try a bolt together converter (like an ATI) and learn the methodology of how to tighten or loosen a converter to a precisise point.
I see in your last video that Independence appears to have made it out of the shop..without spilling all the beans or stealing any of VGG's thunder, can ya at least tell us if she's in one piece and ready to run again? BTW, THANK YOU again for the awesome work you do on these vids..the balance between entertainment & education is just spot on.. I'm 'bout to turn 59, which means I've been racing and building my own crap for 43 years now..but I ALWAYS walk away from your presentations with a new speck of knowledge. That's priceless, man..the fact that you're also entertaining is just gravy. 👍
This has turned out to be such an awesome channel and I am glad I found it. Aside from all the fun stuff learning so much just watching you explain what you are doing but most of all WHY.
Can't anything be straight forward? It is interesting to see the hurdles, some small some large, and how they are overcome in constructing a drag race car. Experience and creativity are the necessary components. Kevin has both and he has a good team.
Great job my man!!! You will have Derrick ripping down the track in no time. As usual you do a great job. Thanks for explaining at the end. Your a smart dude.
To all the new subscribers I just wanted to let yall know that Kevin is the man if you haven't noticed that already and whatever he says you can take it to the bank he's a good dude and very intelligent when it comes to anything mechanical I've learned alot just from watching his vids and I've been a mechanic pretty much all my life I'm 39yrs old and I built my first sbc engine when I was 8yrs old and I still learn new stuff from Kevin almost every vid. I love this channel if you stick around you'll learn alot of good info about going fast
Definitely love the data analysis section because more often than not its part of racing that doesn't get discussed openly. It's one of those things that takes a lot of time to talk through and usually at the track there just isn't enough time to walk people through it. And unless its your own car or one your working on then you don't usually even get to hear about the technical data because a lot of guys try to hide their "secrets". So we absolutely appreciate the transparency, like with Soccer Mom, so we can learn all the different data.
I cannot state enough how much I love the RUclips community you guys have. It really makes it more enjoyable and entertaining to watch. Need to dyno Taylor's new turbo truck now!
The data part at the end was really interesting, We see you and Cleetus just talking so fast over stuff, but when you have never worked on this stuff, it's just over our heads, So thankyou for that part
Love your work Kevin. You are a master of your craft but you’re never afraid to say I don’t know let me find out or take in new knowledge. Love the data analysis can’t wait to see more on sick week!
I have the same trans pan on my Reed case t400 it leaked also .So I had the flange milled down to get it true and straight. Then Manually used a surface stone to get it closer to .02-.03 It was out from side to side (.08-.013 thou)and added a Lube locker gasket . All worked well . See ya at sickweek
Independence is such a cool build. Had to go back and watch all Derek’s videos of it, crazy how far it’s come. I like all the technical info in your videos! 👍
Love the data and the explanation. The talk over on the fast part of the video is so much better than horrible music that is the norm. Hope you are setting a trend.
Re Kevin talking about the 'anti squat' suspension,, remembering back to the 65/66/67 muscle cars, GTO's, 442's, Chevelle's and MoPar' we saw them use that kind of suspension from the factory. It was 'weird' to watch the body LIFT under acceleration which was different than we were used to seeing.
👍 data analysis, more of this please with explanations for those of us who are not versed in blown engines, auto transmission#/converters and Holly technology. The last is pretty rare in the UK.
I loved the data analysis, adds new perspective. One thing Kevin why use those brackets for the rear shocks at all? They look pretty weak and very much like something a 16 year old would bolt on to their first car. I figured you would have made something far superior, the shocks themselves look OK just that lower bracket is pretty thin to hold a 3600lb car with a G of acceleration. I know it shares the load with the other bars on the diff but it just looked pretty flimsy to me.
Awesome stuff KSR! When we (IBEW electricians) heat shrink in a nuclear environment it's incredibly important that the sleeve is very similar in size to what it's protecting. Moisture is a sneaky bugger! Love from Canada and thanks for all the hard work and information!
I had a gopro do that before! Mine had some small bits of dirt in between the microphone and the case? Water will also cause that. I had to put my reading glasses on to clean the mic port.
Dang Kevin you’re churning out videos so fast I had to go back and watch the previous vid before this one lol. Love it! Can’t wait to see everyone rippin on sick week.
We need clearance Clarence! Also prayin fer the 10 bolt. Really like the voice over explanations and such. Helps a guy wrap his mind around the science wizardry. Was a spicy converter for sure, too many habaneros. Sounds like freedom 🤘🏻🇺🇸 keep up with the style of the vidyas, a guy appreciates it.
With those exhaust hangers, If you straighten out the round bar after you undo the collector you can just slide the round bar out of the hanger. Less bolts to undo and possibly lose.
Love the data analysis portion. Helps explain the process and hopefully helps everyone think problems out.
Yes, more data analysis, please. I'm personally trying to get into becoming a tuner myself so I really enjoy watching and learning about that part of the process. Thanks Kevin!
Cool to see the converter explained like that. I have always been a car guy but transmissions are something I know the least about. I love the KSR knowledge
Hey Kevin, try putting a diode in reverse polarity in parallel to the trans brake solenoid. Install it right at the solenoid. Connect the negative side of the diode (the side marked with a line) to the positive side wire feed. This will prevent feed back current that gives you problems with the other electronics.
That theory applies to all electro- magnet circuits
Good call
This is brilliant it makes so much sense it’s strange the solenoid doesn’t have one preinstalled.
Spoken like a fellow engineer, well said
Great channel, after watching VGG getting old school basket cases to run again the content is probably a little above my head, but you do a great job of explaining things.
I watched my brother in law chase converters. I have always used Hughes. Made him call and bingo spot on. I have their parts in all my cars. Since 1993. Never an issue. Nothing against other vendors they make great parts too. Just my experience.Thanks for sharing this is a common problem with new builds.
Derek is a nice guy, make the Independance Chevelle go wosh! wosh! down the track. Thanks Kevin and Godspeed to both.
Love the data analysis Kevin!!!! Would love to see much more of these!!! I've learned so much from your channel and I look forward to learning much more! Kick ass on sick week!!!
Love the data analysis. Great content. I am glad you didn't put music in the background of the voice over.
Put a diode backwards across the trans brake solenoid to clamp the flyback spike when the solenoid shuts off.
Kevin, the sheer amount of great work you’ve done across many channels is unparalleled. The unconscious attention to the most minute of details is just something that boggles my mind. Truly a master of your craft. Keep it up!!! 👍
I truly appreciate how much you help RUclips'rs out. KSR has made the RUclips crowd really step up there game. At least that's how I see it👍
Love the new data review feature at the end there, Kev. Hope it becomes a regular feature.... Awesome job.
Thank you for taking the time to film and edit these sessions Derek's, Independence Chevrolet. I know it must slow your progress, but I really appreciate and enjoy watching the entire process.
Go Kevin ur a good dude always helping your group of friends 👍🏻

Haven’t even got your own car ready and you are worried about others!
Sucks that the mistake of the converter was made and wasted precious time but that’s how it goes in race cars!
Thanks for the update Kevin
Great video and thanks for the voice-over data analysis at the end. I am personally trying to get into tuning myself but its hard to find the right teacher. Not many tuners in my area, if any at all, and I want to take advantage of that opportunity

Here from VGG. Love the update. Good to see these upgrades in in process of getting installed.
You do amazing work.. thank you for your dedication.
This has turned out to be such an awesome channel and I am glad I found it. Aside from all the fun stuff learning so much just watching you explain what you are doing but most of all WHY.

I like the little detail of having your logo in the red-white-blue combo :) fits the Independence theme nicely
Great job my man!!! You will have Derrick ripping down the track in no time. As usual you do a great job. Thanks for explaining at the end. Your a smart dude.
love the data log bit. I think this is a nice addition to the channel. do more of this it really helps to explain a lot of what's going on
Absolutely love the data analysis at the end.More please
Kev you LEGEND! Man that last piece learned me so darned much about Stall and power.
Man im enjoying the everloving heck out of your stuff, Thank you.
Need more guys like you you are the man keep up your good work 👍
Still amazed you don't have more subs. Always great content
The data you showed at the end was pretty cool. More of that please.

Suttle move making the ksr red white n blue!
Also the data analysis was awesome! Especially for nubes like me!
Caught that did ya ;)
Love how the KSR logo is red, white, and blue!! These are truly my favorite videos to watch on RUclips
This is the most epic car in history. It will be a legend forever. It might be trashy in some ways but it is exactly what it should be.
Everyone loves the Independence Chevelle!
And the owner's family! Can't forget about them

I could watch the data analysis stuff all day.
Thumbs up for the data analysis 👍 a guy learned a lot from that👌
Thanks for the data analyses!!!
Thanks from Columbus Ohio USA
Glad to see you explain it. No one I know does that. Great job!
You are a fantastic professional. Your depth and variety of knowledge is just great! Keep up the good work.
The data part at the end was really interesting, We see you and Cleetus just talking so fast over stuff, but when you have never worked on this stuff, it's just over our heads, So thankyou for that part
thumbs up on the data analysis
Don't you love it when you can back up your instincts with data! I love it, great job!
Love your work Kevin. You are a master of your craft but you’re never afraid to say I don’t know let me find out or take in new knowledge. Love the data analysis can’t wait to see more on sick week!

Awesome job Kev 🤙🏼. Love the time laps with the narration
Independence is such a cool build. Had to go back and watch all Derek’s videos of it, crazy how far it’s come. I like all the technical info in your videos! 👍
It'll bring a tear to your eyes rewatching Independence Chevelle videos! God bless America!!🇺🇸🇺🇲🇺🇸🇺🇲
Love it when you get into detail about stuff. Car looks amazing 🤩
GREAT information and video!
The data analysis was a great idea!
Love the data and the explanation.
The talk over on the fast part of the video is so much better than horrible music that is the norm. Hope you are setting a trend.
Really enjoyed the data analysis part at the end.
New KSR logo looks clean!
Love the data analysis
Great video. I like how you've polished you videos. Thanks Kevin
Sick week is being super hyped in my head. I can’t wait for all the content
Can't believe I never noticed that incredible license plate before! 🦅🦅🦅

KEVIN
I appreciate this data analysis you did so much. This is exactly what I’ve been wanting
7:28 that totally sounds like the "finger over mic effect" XD
LOL... Derick "it's hard on my blood pressure".
Love the Data analysis stuff!
Great idea on the data review along with the trouble shooting 👍🏽
Thanks for the data analysis education 👍
👍 data analysis, more of this please with explanations for those of us who are not versed in blown engines, auto transmission#/converters and Holly technology. The last is pretty rare in the UK.
Love the data addition! 👌
Blimey, at around 10.50 minutes you are explaining what I've been teaching myself because of watching your under car camera shots 😀
Always a pleasure to see
I loved the data analysis, adds new perspective. One thing Kevin why use those brackets for the rear shocks at all? They look pretty weak and very much like something a 16 year old would bolt on to their first car. I figured you would have made something far superior, the shocks themselves look OK just that lower bracket is pretty thin to hold a 3600lb car with a G of acceleration. I know it shares the load with the other bars on the diff but it just looked pretty flimsy to me.
It’s way thicker than the material on the stock rear end. We didn’t custom fan anything because we know that the rear end will be changed soon.
Awesome stuff KSR! When we (IBEW electricians) heat shrink in a nuclear environment it's incredibly important that the sleeve is very similar in size to what it's protecting. Moisture is a sneaky bugger!
Love from Canada and thanks for all the hard work and information!
Sure makes it a fight sometimes to get the wires through!!
I always try to use heat shrink tubing with glue in it. It seems to seal the best for me when bogging in the swamp.
Data anaylsis FTW. Thanks for sharing!
Really like how you do your work, and love how you did the video! Really informative!!!! You the man!!
I had a gopro do that before! Mine had some small bits of dirt in between the microphone and the case? Water will also cause that. I had to put my reading glasses on to clean the mic port.
KSR and VGG collaborations are great!
I just love the car community you guys have it is Awesome. Hi from Scotland Love the Channel Sir.
Dang Kevin you’re churning out videos so fast I had to go back and watch the previous vid before this one lol. Love it! Can’t wait to see everyone rippin on sick week.
We need clearance Clarence! Also prayin fer the 10 bolt. Really like the voice over explanations and such. Helps a guy wrap his mind around the science wizardry. Was a spicy converter for sure, too many habaneros. Sounds like freedom 🤘🏻🇺🇸 keep up with the style of the vidyas, a guy appreciates it.
My 2 favorite RUclipsrs! I like to call you 2 together, “The Extremes”! Thanks for bringing us the content!!
With those exhaust hangers, If you straighten out the round bar after you undo the collector you can just slide the round bar out of the hanger. Less bolts to undo and possibly lose.
