Leroy boutta make 5000hp for 2 seconds 😂
I love you papa
THE MAN
I mean as long as it hooks it will be fast, right?
How in the heck is Canada able to win but alaska isnt!? This is part of America brother!!!!!
We needed a Clay Millican visit for this video
When Jackstand says "I have an idea for the next try" you know it is going to be a horrifically awesome glorious catastrophe.
He's gonna open a bottle of nitrous into the intake. I guarantee it.
Wonder if his 240 is getting nitro
Ruby has been in limbo for a bit maybe it could be the nitro science car for a while
Nitro and nitrous together. That’s what he’s thinking. And I can’t think of a single thing that can go wrong.
Obvious it needs bigger injectors. And one of them huge distributor/Magneto from Killabee, or one like it. Nitro needs more/bigger spark. Then try 75% Nitro/25% Methanol, and 90/10% And if the engine hasnt died then, add nitrous!
I started running nitro in the drag bikes back in 1993.....Nitro is the drug you NEVER get enough of. Great show guys.
Horsepower is a hell of a drug.
I've been watching this addiction my whole life there's never enough
no i'm pretty tired of nitro. it don't really get me that high no more and neither does butane gas.
@@rampage3337 incredible lol
@@rampage3337 try some enriched uranium
Thats awesome! So basically a 5-8 second pull cost bout $75-90 worth of fuel....so worth it to hear a 5.3 screaming freedom!!
This was one of the best cleetus videos from start to finish. From George calling the turbo winner, Sam in a lab coat, stock 5.3 experiments, HUGE power gains, infectious laughter, and James with a catastrophic idea brewing. This better be one of the top viewed videos on the channel.
Couldn't have said it better myself!!
Absolutely agree 1,000%
This is stuff that most dudes, (including myself,) think about doing all the time to our own cars.
@@ralphlazio505 I've been wanting to do this since 22 years ago.
@The Slick - I gotta find something else besides my daily😅
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ I do , I do ... And I still believe Joseph got the Gluk Gluk 3000 from Mary cos I know human nature all too well, and I believe that Mary Magdalene washed Jeebus's feet with her hair as that was the nice thing to do after he had delivered a mind blowing Poonping with his pasture blasters a la Footwork on her fanny , I actually think the idea that they were human is far more inspiring than them being perfect and flawless... thing's.. overcoming our natural state of being is what makes us great . And Coming over Mary's Tits made Old Joe even greater..
Ps yer MAMMA WAS A SNOWBLOWER
Watching Dr. tunemall go from the voice of reason to the devil on Cleets shoulder was my favorite part of the video.😂
You are given free rein to push that thing to the moon or a grenade (free mmr as the kids says). of course the devil gonna come out.
All those nitro fumes, man.
Drag bikes next?
If I understand nitro, it's self oxidizing, so adding as much as possible without hydrolocking the pistons allows you to reach ABSURD compression. I'd love to see what the spark plugs look like after this lol.
Nitromethane is CH3NO2 so yeah it carries a lot of its own oxygen. It has the effect of raising volumetric efficiency because there is a lot less air (which is 80% nitrogen) in the cylinder allowing for a lot more reactants in the same space. That and it's also an extremely high octane fuel etc.
My thoughts exactly, I would imagine that the plugs and ignition system, aren't very happy!
From what I can read nitromethane has a lower octane rating than ethanol, but because you comparatively hose the engine with it the evaporative cooling makes up for a lot of that.
Yes nitro has oxygen as part of the molecule with alcohol it may burn nitro it's not meant to provide oxygen mostly goes out the exhaust pipe nitro decomposers much like dynamite it's actually closer kin to TNT.
Where do you get the real power issue fill the cylinder with more fuel than can exist at top dead center under massive heat and pressure it decomposes turning all that liquid into a gas that is your power if you have about 65 degrees of Mag lead 4 degrees 8 degrees 12 degrees of timing is not going to help.
Run a hundred percent with about a 9 gallon pump you're liable to melt your Pistons if you had a real mechanical pump putting 20 25 gal a minute in and 40-60 degrees timing and 85 percent nitro in the the tank Now try that.
They melt, dragsters run 2 plugs 2 mags etc because if 1 fails when running it's detonation big time.
Love the tinfoil trick. Mechanic for 30+ years and never seen anybody use foil to secure a group of hose. Awesome!
I thought so too. At first I thought it was just to cover it. Gives me a couple good ideas for sure, definitely stealing that tip
I suspect it is lees to secure the hoses, but to counter the evaporation of the fuel.
When you panned the camera over after the 420 pull and Sam was standing there with his lab coat, it made my heart melt and made me smile harder than I have in a while. I adore that man and I hope to even be 1% as happy as him when I get to his age. He is a gem
☝️wow
I felt the same way my friend!!💪🏼
Sam is a National Treasure
Sam IS the man!
Dr. ShineEmAll
Basically the best video you've made in a long time. Since the days James was spraying nos bottles in intakes on the dyno .
Agree
@Chad Riddle they recorded this video a few months ago. Same red truck in the same position. Still great content 👌 😅
I miss the old days!!!!!!
"I think we're gonna blow up a 5.3 today, COME ON!" 😂😂 needs to be a new t-shirt.
Yeah, nitro is super dangerous, you're supposed to turn the engine over with plugs out to clear the cylinders, start it on regular gas, and then switch over to nitro. Engine's can and will explode in a spectacular fashion from the stuff, just ask any old timer at a dragstrip.
Congrats! You are the only person I've seen who commented on how dangerous this could potentially be. If I were there, the minute I saw that they were running fuel from a bucket I would have left. Crazy.
Yes this was incredibly dangerous.
@@poncoolride You're forgetting the first rule of redneck shitfuckery, it ain't no fun if it don't blow up! I don't think longevity of the engine was really a concern here.
yea, i was yelling at my screen telling Nate to duck behind the firewall during those pulls...especially considering the whole shop must have been filled with fumes already
Incorrect sir, nitro has less explosive power than gasoline. The compression in the motor isn't to the point where the motor would just explode
Just when you think ole Cleet has to be out of ideas this month he comes in with another heater!
Remember he always talked about that Silverado being In a science video and now we know why! 😂🎉
I'm surprised he was able to resist the urge to drive that thing right off the dyno and straight to the strip lol
Most fun I’ve had tuning in a whilleeee 😂
Good job brother hell yeah 👍
It was very evident of the fun you were having. I can not imagine the stress having people allow you to tune there high dollar and horse power engines and not blowing them up.
You guys need to try it on the 1000cc golf cart
I'd like to see an experiment w/ mid-temp lacquer thinner.
40 some years, a one man crew-owner-driver of a local nitro dragster showed me his barrel of fuel. It was mid-temp LT.
He said it was the only way he could afford to play w/ his toy.
Back then, a 55 gal drum of mid-temp was about $100; nitro was right at $1000.
The temp is drying rate when used cprrectly, for thinning lacquer.
We used it for years, 1 qt to 15 gal gas, to de-carbon '70's smog motors to eliminate carbon build-up dieseling.
Have used it for 40 years as a bad gas start up additive, or a tired motor revitalizer.
Never damaged anything w/ it.
I have a 2011 just like this truck. I was going to build the motor and turbo it but I’m thinking just putting some nitro in the tank. Lol
LS engines amaze me more and more every day, since ‘97 I’ve loved them and they still surprise me.
They never amaze me with constant oil leaks and lifter issues👍
This guy is a tuning god. He truly understands the LS like Michelangelo understood sculpture and painting
SOOO DAMN SMART WITH THE LITTLE TWEEKING ......RE-ADJUSTING THE TRANNY & SLOWLY ADJUSTING THE FUEL MIXTURE.....PRETTY DAMN AMAZING WHAT $400 FUEL CAN DO
@@christlopherbrandimarte4520chill with the caps lock.
it's called tuning, anyone who knows how to do it can do the same thing. problem is, there's lots of kids out there who have no concept of timing, AFR and duty cycle. i could hear the spark knock on that thing from the first time they added nitro and it never really went away. that engine is a couple pullsl away from the junker. id bet opening up the exhaust would help alleviate it some, as well as cranking fuel pressure.
500+ horse torques and Sam's just over there buffing the relays😂🇺🇲
Getting a call from George instead of Cleeter is almost as good as getting a freakin turbski. That'd be a gift within a gift.
THIS IS NOT A DRILL!!! lmfaooo
Did he even say Buenos dias?
@@nickmpower I was thinking he should have screamed it after asking about the extended warranty 😂😂
And jack-stand. That’s a toofer It’s a good day for sure.
Car flipping means something else to george
You could hear the detonation before more fuel was added. She was definitely starting off pretty lean.
I was just about to type that. I heard it as well.
The naturally aspirated torque per liter value is what is really incredible. Usually 90 lb ft per liter is the absolute max. Looks like you were up around 95 lb ft per liter. That is really good.
…good little 327!
The look of pure joy on his face when he said “more timing” (15:00) is the wholesome content I’m here for 😂
I wanna say "The LS George hire was the best decision Cleeter ever made." But to be honest.... the whole damn team is in the running for MVP. It's crazy how every single employee Cleeter has is just 11 out of 10. What an incredible team Cleet has put together.
@@mostlymotorized here's your gold star 🖕🏼🖕🏼
Amen to that. We are lucky to enjoy these times.
Facts!
This is what you get when you take care of your employees - listen to them and grow!
I remember when everyone wanted more cooper and was mad James was getting more screen time.
That episode was a blast. This is the way science should be
Enjoy watching you guys! Keep up the great content! 😎
I wanna see a teardown of the engine after this
I was gonna comment the same 😂
Definitely cleaner than it was when they bought it.
Exactly what I was thinking.
Or an oil sample, how much fuel is in there lol
Yes!
Seeing Dr Tune em All being so excited is fun, he normally feels all this pressure tuning, this is like "pure fun" for him
I agree, but I bet he was worried a little bit because, yeah, there's a firewall, but there's no glass if that engine goes boom. Because stock engine.
the joys of stretching your knowledge legs and having no repercussions for anything bad that may happen. still not going full Dr. Sprayemall though. wants his fun to last, and isnt spraying through the problems he encounters...
This is the first cleetus video I've watched in like 2 years. Was definitely worth it. Bummer nitro is so damn expensive.
same
Yup I love this stuff
You could do this same thing over and over again in every video and I would watch it every time. Let’s GO!
I think i laughed harder at this than most of the recent videos. Ya'll bein goofy is good for the soul. Reminds me of old old cleeter days. I have loved watching the channel and community grow around it. Your (non-rushed while maintaining dad status for half the shop) content is on point. I think this is the best month of freedom video yet this year.
I totally agree. Great time watchin this One.
Funniest video yet!
Couldn't agree more, I thought this was going to be another fluffer fill content. I enjoyed this more than anything I've watched this week.
Wish they did more of the science videos like they used to.
Agreed!! We want more science content
We need a PART 2 with BIGGER injectors!
Agreed!
Yes please !!
and if it can last for 11 consecutive seconds, a run at Bradenton
!
Cut the exhaust off the headers
Some 99's
On the last good pull you could see the tire start to distort from the torque when he first punches the loud pedal! Impressive guys! I was belly laughing when I saw that tire begging for mercy. 🤣
Yeah, something to do with the shutter speed of the camera creates an illusion of the stokes spinning backwards. the effect is possible with the naked eye, but it's different.
That’s unbelievable man. Those LS engines are a beast. So easy to gain a lot of power
You know it's about to be a good time when the lab coats come out!😂
Did you see Dr Sam up in there!?
Yeah! I cracked up when I saw Sam wearing one! 🤣👌🏼
Nate over here living his best life. That dude was having so much fun!
I mean he went from waking up doing a 9-5 at the airport to now living the American dream of not waking up and doing a 9-5
can't get enough of Nate and Kyle when they come for a visit.
He also might be slightly high from all the nitro fumes 😂
I love this kind of content!! Funny and exciting. Impressed by the numbers
Wow I absolutely loved that Dyno session you guys made my Saturday morning❤ I have a 5.3 ready for a build make me want to change my profession 👍👍👍👍👍
One of the worst weeks of my life, but alas, the Cleetus team brings a smile.
Fellas, I wish you really knew the impact you had on folks. What a channel and blessing to those really in a dark place.
Brother you will get through this week❤
Sorry brother hope things get better for you.
Hope things get better. Do it for dale!!
It will improve. Stay strong
Hang in there brotatochip. Cleeter vids on continuous play make it all better.
That Silverado was LOVING that fuel 😂
Started to sound like Neighbor before they added timing
I watch engine masters so i can learn things. This is like an episode of engine masters. Very knowledgeable info. I may never use this info, BUT anytime you learn something new, it is worth it. Thank you
Ive done this same test on a 5.3 ,you need bigger injectors and bump the fuel up 30% on 50% nitro we made 517whp and 589 torque
How do you figure out how much more injector u need
Just run the biggest that will idle. 2000-2500cc
Hay que reprogramar todo el mapa para aprovechar el combustible,darle más avance de chispa
That one 88 sent to Canada is more freedom than they’ve had for years lol
Ya definitely going to turbo our sled dogs... maybe even a moose....
Pretty much dude..our country is overrun with communists.
The Chinese were even messing with our last election.
Shoutout to GM for making one hell of an engine to be able to take, and excel in a McFarland Racing Science session! Although I imagine every O-ring in that poor 5.3 has turned to jelly. I still wanna see bigger injectors and Dr. Spray E'm All Hit It with his best shot!!!
I mean they made close to 1000 hp a couple times with ruby if they had it at like 700 it would have lasted
I have an 11 gmc with that motor. They’re great engines but don’t have as much power stock as a 5.0 coyote or hemi.
@Service dogo joke guys get a camshaft
Id expect any engine to have similar power gains relative to its size. Not going to last long though lol.
They really do, I have a stock LM7 in my 01 GMC. From the research I've done the old iron block ls based engines in the old Silverados and GMCs handle a lot of boost and power on just the stock block
Love watching you play around with this stuff
Love it when you guys do experiments! DO MORE EPISODES LIKE THIS!! hahaha
"You could turbo your truck. Or you could buy a $400 pail of fuel" has me dying
Lmfao I thought that was great
I also like their definition of 'daily driver'. I could see Vice Grip Garage maybe seeing this as the 'going to town car' 🤣
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ jesus was not god.

@@narcissistinjurygiver2932christ is lord
I don't know if you realised but on the rear, nearside quarter of the truck theres a slight scratch, you might want to get Sam to buff that out.
Never a disappointing video, thank ya!!
By far the most entertaining video I’ve seen in months! Thanks!
The starting point for timing on a top fuel motor is around 55-60 deg. BTDC. Nitro burns extremely slow so it likes a LOT of timing.
Nitro likes a lot of compression too. Which that engine probably doesn’t have, especially after that bout. 😂
Nitro HATES igniting
It sounds a bit like trying to run a gas engine on diesel fuel. It is interesting that diesel and nitro both make tons of torque compared to gas.
One of the best episodes of Engine Masters, ever!
Awesome experiment. Nice work,and very entertaining
Need to continue this series 100% 🙌
This is pure "what made the channel" throwback stuff, and it was amazing and epic, and I loved it
I was thinking the same thing.
Haven't seen such crazy shlt since the Fasterprom days
MORE of this! Please. This was great.
I want to see you guys running some crazy scrap burnout cars on straight nitromethane.
And I hope you guys learn how to add and use nitromethane reliably in some of your builds.
terrible idea, nitromethane burns invisible so its kind of dangerous
@@araybeezy1653 I mean, methanol burns the same so not really any more dangerous than a bunch of their current cars
Haven’t smiled this much of these videos in awhile . Great video
Love drag racing and worked in chem labs for years doing testing on various fuels. Years ago I had a Methanol 4 stroke racing kart. Was a very quick kart on Methanol. I ran it one time on 50/50 Nitromethane and Methanol. Was the most fun I ever had for 10 min. Kart hooked pretty good in turns on alcohol. On Nitro it blew the tires away in every corner and pulled like crazy......
Until the motor stopped. When I took it apart it bent the crank something like .150" on the rod journals. Like in Top Fuel, nitro is cool as hell but hard on parts.
For anyone who doesn't already know: nitro contains both the fuel component and the oxygen component. So the more you add to the mixture, the more power it makes because it's largely bringing the oxygen with it.
I really love seeing you actually test this out on the dyno though. VERY interesting stuff!
Our course youtube experiments turn to oxygenated fuels.
Wait until they discover hydrazine and flak jackets 😂
In the 1960s, the Ramchargers drag racing team made up of Chrysler engineers started adding hydrazine to their fuel. The tech inspectors wondered why the tops of their pistons were turning green, and they made up some nonsense about dye and combustion analysis or some such. Eventually their supplier got curious and asked what sort of military aerospace project Chrysler were working on with the ultra-toxic hypergolic rocket fuel. When they explained that they were using it as an automotive racing fuel additive, the guy flipped his lid and said they were all lucky to be alive.
Plus if you pre-chill your nitro, you’ll squeeze a bit more out of it! 😉
only 1500 dollars to fill up..sure why not
So you end up with too much oxygen and lean mixture.thats why you need to richen it up or it's a bit like adding nitrous with no extra fuel.
Thats wild! Great work guys
This video is awesome! I know we are alike because I was just as excited for every pull as you guys were!
Cleetus is about to run nitro on everything after this
This was one of the most mind blowing things ive seen - and shows how strong the 5.3 is
would love to see what the 4.8 could do
That was 2nd gear. In 3rd gear, which is the true dyno gear for that trans, it would have made even more.
@Shawn Sanders anyone know of any videos of someone pushing one of these stock 5.3 blocks to their absolute limit? Seems like with more fuel this baby could have done even more.. much more really. The limit these guys hit was fuel. Thing was still running mint.
Cleet, make a sub section of videos with shit like this. Testing their stuff to the absolute limit. Will got tons of hits. Get 2,3 guys from the shop taking charge of it even. Freedom Factory Test Ground
@@benhajdu4040 people put turbos on them all the time. There is a engine dyno guy i watch who takes them to their limits and you wouldn't BELIEVE how much it took to kill one. Can't think of the channel. Just search it. You will see.
Im so suprised how good that sounds being totally stock
This video was so good!! I learned something valuable, but even more had an ear to ear smile and and couldn't stop laughing the whole time. Can't wait for the next one!!
Nitro can also schedule a rapid engine disassembly for you(Regardless if you want it or not) All around great fuel
There is a saying in the Top Fuel world. "If you NEVER want it to blow up, don't ever start it." Sooner or later every Nitro team in NHRA blows up.
@Glide1992 they blow up damn near every pass lmao
Yup seen that happen. Literally blowing the head off entirely 🙄
@@christopherleubner6633 Along with the blower.
this might be the best episode of the month of freedom so far!
Seriously. I would contemplate moving to florida from the UK just to work with you guys, that is how much fun work should be
We all love your content. Wishing you and your friends continuing success and please guard your safety wisely. 👍🏽
I have ALWAYS wondered what the results would be with nitro in a stock N/A vehicle. Thank you for the entertainment and science!!!
I want to see what sort of gains I’d see in my boosted car 😂
@@onefastboi14 Mullet will make 5k hp and top fuel makes 10+khp, double just like in this experiment. I would say you would double the power if you feed enough fuel and it would run.........for a little while, before your engine says "your done!"
@@CGT80 yeah 😆 I don’t want to blow the motor. Long blocks for these cars used are like 4 grand.
Between this, the engine life plate testing, and other things ... we NEED a McFarland Labs channel!
Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
Awesome video guys!
The hp and torque gains are actually ridiculous
Nate says, "Bonked my head and everything." and I start laughing to the point my wife is looking at me like I've gone insane.
Once I hit my 30s, I started saying bonk, noggin, nards, shlong, and every other childish word I can think of more often than I ever did. 6 years later, still goin strong.
Noggin 😭
Ok. Wasn’t expecting that much gains. 😂
Holy cow!
That’s awesome boys keep up the good videos
So the lesson to be learned from this is that should be used as the fuel for Mullet to move you into the five second range.
Yep, that is why mullet only makes 5000 hp and top fuel cars make 10000+ hp......it's funny how it matches their doubled number on this experiment.
Mullet has the engine and turbo to go 5s it’s just the tuning and suspension they’re gonna have to dial as they’re already pretty freaking close
@@clankyexpert8998 Mullet is also heavier than Tom Bailey's car, from what they have said, so it will be harder than it is for Tom to run 5 seconds.
How many guys are gonna see this and be like “bro, I know how to make your LS fly”. Theres gonna be a wave of blown up LS across the country in the next few weeks!!😂😂 🔥
LOLOLOL for sure
Lol, few people are going to be paying $40 a gallon to cruise their hot rods.
@@wesdoobner7521 it's actually $80 per gallon. Thats a 5 gallon jug, and they spent almost $400 for it.

I thought for sure James was going to come in with a nitrous bottle and blow the house down😂
Maybe at the end of its life when they are done testing
Thanks for great important information video was very interesting.
Now this is entertainment!! That answered so many questions that people wanted to ask. Thank you and the crew for this. Great show!!
From the intro till the end, this was one of my favorite vids in the last couple years. You have an amazing team and loved seeing Dr get all giddy and having the time of his life! Keep on keeping on.
This has been one of my favorite videos
I would have NEVER believed it. OMG. Great job guys. Your my hero’s.

Laughed so hard when Sam shows up in a lab coat 🤣🤣
Great content! Maybe 25 yrs. ago a rodding mag. had an article about something the racers in the early 50's were doing that would double the power of a stock flathead Ford...for one race. Hydrozine! Blown rods were worth a big prize win. And while they could, they used actual ROCKETFUEL!!! Outlawed long ago. Maybe you could try some of that, but do your testing outside.
that stuff is incredibly toxic. that's why they don't use it.
Great video! That was amazing!
That is absolutely stunning, almost 200hp from just a fuel change
How sick would Donny sound revving to 8500 on nitro???
I'll have toast on nitro if you take donny
I love the sound of Donny. The Dale truck sounds pretty good as well
get the bottle
That was very entertaining. Thanks.
I used to run a little in my lawn mower. mixed in a bit of model airplane fuel. It didn't add a whole lot of actual nitro but I did notice a difference. It was my test platform when I was first leaning engines so it was also ported with slightly bumped compression.
I think Mullet needs to do a 1/4 mile run on nitro
pretty expensive motor to play fuel games with. I wonder what Steve would say if they asked him if it can go on nitro?
With the SMX things for Mullet are about to seriously change considering what Tom Bailey and Steve Morris are going through trying to that much power from tearing up everything it's sending to the limit. However as far as this truck, it needs to be a Leroy type of creation so bend some pipe and send it.
Mullet already makes too much power for small tire setup.
Cleetus isn't anywhere near the 5000HP max, so no need to blow it up on nitro.
@@warrenmichael918 nitro engines don't normally live a long life, Top Fuel dragsters do a burnout and a 1000 ft pass, then it's time for a rebuild.
Probably not realistic.
Tom Bailey is building a car with an SMX that will run nitro
I'm glad to see Dr tune them all keeping Cletus in check with the tunes lmao he knows Cletus wants all the beans of the rip and u can't always do it that way 😂
I like watching this and they are so excited about 290hp and ending at over 500 is INSANE!
This was great. 1st RUclips video in 2 months. What a banger boys. Good work!
I mean, the amount of fuel being dumped into the engine to achieve this madness is incredible. No wonder why top fuel dragsters are so expensive to run (besides all the other variables)
Have you ever seen a video of how much Nitro is being just blasted into a top fuel engine? It's almost enough to hydro lock the engine. It only works because Nitro Methane has it's own Oxygen, so the air/fuel ratio doesn't have to be regulated anything at all like a gasoline engine.
Nitrogen is cheap
Besides, everything used on the Cleetus channel is ad revenue. Which means nothing comes out of his pocket bc youtube is technically a "business".
@@llamacebu216 nitromethane is not nitrogen
CH³NO²
@@llamacebu216 nitromethane is $45 gallon
10 gallons per run
That sure said a lot for the 5.3 chevy. Horse power is one thing, torque is another. But to have a rock solid platform to work with is gold.
Most definitely. I'm not sure what block this specific engine has but late 90's, early 2000's GMCs and Silverados came with the iron block LM7 and they handle boost really damn well
Great video brother, always wanted to do this to my go kart 30 years ago and see now that I should have....
