1000WHP Hemi Shakes the Lights Out of the Ceiling! Finnegan's Garage Ep.258
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Episode 258 of Mike Finnegan's Garage is all about bringing Blasphemi back to life. My 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air has been hibernating all year long while we continue working on it to create a more reliable, fun street/strip car. So far we've narrowed the Quick Performance 9 inch rearend, we've replaced the triple disc Mantic USA clutch, and today we are headed back to the dyno several new bolt-on parts to try. We'll be testing my old stainless steel headers with 2-1/4 stepped to 2-3/8 diameter primary tubes (3.5-inch OD collectors) against my new 2-3/8 stepped to 2-1/2-inch primary tubes headers (4-1/2-inch OD collectors). We'll also try a new, larger diameter throttlebody from Phil Rohr, and we are gonna test the 528ci Pete Harrell-built hemi with and without a Walker Performance Filtration air filter on top of the four-port throttlebody. We make more dyno pulls that ever in the quest for reliably putting 1000WHP down to the chassis dyno and deciding will or won't we be ready for Hot Rod Drag Week 2023.

Unfortunately those shout outs are not cheap, they come at massive discounts or free service. Cletus is known for doing this to shops. He claims it’s for exposure, which is BS
Thanks for the shout out Mike. The new version of the four port is much better then that proto type. Thanks for testing it for me, I see the potential for more power with it.

Man, We're all pulling that you make it to drag week!
Blashemi deserves all the attention to detail. It’s been such and awesome car and it keeps getting better.
A dyno inside of a metal building…..holy cow!!! I felt I needed massive ear protect even on mute😂😂😂 Blasphemi is a beast 💪💪💪
Always a good morning when you get a Blasphemi video
Good idea, make Finnegan's Garage have sparks when the show opens
Those headers sure do move A LOT. Might need hanger near that v-band.

Always enjoy it when Blasphemi is the center of attention. I am looking forward to updates on the engine , and the results. Many thanks for the video.
Really like the back to back testing with numbers and changes
I lovw that drag season is upon us.. Gonna be a ton of events over the next two months, can't wait.

Man I absolutely love this car. I remember you guys on roadkill picking the body up and road tripping and was your first time seeing an ostrich and a Buffalo for the first time 😂😂
I love it when you have blasphemi out and playing. Can't wait to see it back on the track
Mike be all like, "so wut had happened, wuz...." Dude. Race car. They're always broken. Even when they run "good", something is always hinky. That's we love them.
G'day mate. Great stuff. You really should try and intercooler brick between the blower and manifold. I know it's more weight but should dramatically drop intake air temp after the blower fuel cooling can only go so far.

Alex is turning into a legend on KZread! I seen him tuning Cleetus' Leroy!
I get the feeling that Blasphemi is going to be the one car that you'll never be able to get right. It fights you all the way.
Great video glad you shared it 🎉
I LOVE THAT CAR , THAT IS MY FAVORITE YEAR OF CHEVY. I THINK YOU SHOULD CHANGE TO TWIN TURBO . THAT WOULD BE AWESOME. MIKE FOIT FROM ATHENS, OHIO. I AM A VERY HUGE FAN. GOD BLESS AND STAY SAFE.
What a faff that canned water is. 😅😅😅 Had to look what it is. Love this video. Been great.
How cool to have all that shop and land. What a great setup. That’s livin
I love how you're constantly messing with this Blasphemi. Maybe someday it'll be perfectly consistent but I have a hard time seeing that day being anytime soon 😂
To think that at one point that car was a gutted shell on a rolling chassis, I’ve loved watching this car develop over the years

Man. This is what i think we need more of Finn. Like on Engine masters but with the car and putting the parts on the car. Show us IE: larger diameter headers like 2% more fuel and 1 degree less timing, or this intake like X over baseline and X on timing. I think these videos are so much fun and the knowledge everyone gains in rral time is great. Love this content
Glad to see someone uses as many "high speed racing fasners" as I do.... (Zip Ties on the throttle cable)
Great content! Something other car KZreadrs seem to often forget - It's not the destination, it's the journey.
Good times Mike.
Great content Mike, and I just cannot get enough of this car or the Caddy. This one is a fav, my Dad had this same car, but way long ago and with a high compression NA 327 small block. He raced it on the streets of Chicago. So when I see Blasphemy, it checks all the boxes and dont get me started on the coke bottle Wheels. Best hotrod wheels of all time, in my book. I would love to see Blasphemy race “The Joker” at some point
Engine Masters with Mike Finnegan. Love it!

Real Good At Doing Things... Pete is Real Good At Doing Things
Waking up to a new Blasphemi video. It's Gunna be a good day.
By God, they make pulls at Pete's in a literal power barn. Ain't that something.
On more data and testing at ~50-55min in: I fully admit I have not answered all your questions... In fact the questions I have answered have only served to create more question. But I am confident we have deeper degree of questions to be answered.
I live for this content. 🤙
Pete does some great work
Good stuff
I was watching that banner on the wall behind the car when he did a pull 😂 Blowing more air than that big ass fan at the door.
I hear that guys really good at doing stuff....
Pete sure knows his stuff.
Man, that opening tune sounded like a remixed "how it's made" into music
Pete is real good at doin stuff i hear
You should talk to Uncle Tony mate. He knows all the Hemi tricks.
I swelled a cast yoke in a TKO 600 with only 600 hp on slicks. Had to beat it out of the transmission. I can’t believe it withstood any abuse with the amount of power Blasphemi has.
what a roller coaster of hp numbers! I feel like 1,000 wheel hp should be no problem for that set up but maybe im way off! good luck getting it back together and tearing up the drag strips again!
Your in good hands with Pete.
Great update! Nice to see the HEMI back!
I love this long form, "Scientific" testing!
Sunday morning coffee and a new Finnegans garage with blasphemi great start to the day!
Awesomeness 😊
Alright another clutch video. I love that guy also. He is the wak daddy
At this point it needs an F1R or a small kit to cool the blower, if it was my setup. There is SO much more in this monster. I think the blower is the limit.
The Compost Heep in the opening!!!!!!!!!
Great in-depth horsepower-searching episode! Pete kinda knows what he's doing, eh? I'm really, really hoping for some excellent coverage from Frag Week, Finn...Have you reserved Tony's time yet?🤘❤️🙂🇨🇦

Loose lights, I can beat that. When I was running the cam in on my LS6 454 in my 69 Camaro, the kid working at the gas station next door (about a 10 inch gap between the buildings) came running over into my shop yelling something, I shut it down thinking I was on fire or something. He was yelling shut it down, shut it down. He took me next door and showed me the storage room closest to the wall nearest to my shop. Apparently while I was running my engine, he was in that room trying his hardest to put the oil, and antifreeze containers back, but they were falling back off as fast as he could put them up.
Theres the right tool for every job. Zip wheel for the win.
Pete is a wizard
I'm not sure why you guys can't see that it's your TINY intake on that HUGE blower and engine combo. It needs to be wide open. Put on two large dominator TB's and your problems will go away. It simple. You makeing more power with a larger pulley due to heat and restriction just proves it. I say it every Blasphemy episode.
Pete does genuinely seem to be really good at doing stuff.

THANK YOU
Glad your alright
Rather than continuing to rework the headers try tuning the ones you have. Two exhaust tuning tips I am aware of. The first is the harmonic tune. Run a long collector tube, run the engine a few times to discolor the collector tube, and then cut the tube at the location of the darkest (purple) discoloration. This is where the greatest back pressure wave is occurring. The second and easiest tune is to run some old school Supertrap exhaust tuners. The system works by adding or removing the trap baffles to increase or decrease back flow pressure.
Cmon Drag Week!!
When you go back for round two, would you consider putting those restrictor plugs in to see how more drivable it would be. Curious to see Thank you, love your videos
