It was great seeing Jason again! Very interesting to hear what all he is involved in and hopefully get to see him driving again at Indy! Best wishes for your new endeavors.
Bonneville , drove by in my Kenworth a few times , oh well , still wanna go ,,, !
Is it true that NHRA mandated drag racing is losing spectators fast and those still watching whether in situ or via TV are also getting older?FOX sports running the show would indicate this.I get why Top Fuel and Funny Car still have some popularity as what beats nitro but Pro Stockers after Nitro rounds sound like anti climax of sorts.Pro stock as class really hasn t seen any evolution as they are stuck with this weird backwards 500 cid push rod engines only.Just watched some Sick Summer week action and those street cars run circles around Pro Stockers.They all look the same as rules mandate new body styles etc.I even saw some Pro Stock drivers complain how NHRA treats them as some filler class and prepping tracks only for 1000ft to suit nitro cars.I started street racing here in Finland 1991 and in 80 s drag racing was huge in Finland.We had over 10 000 fans just to see our national series races causing our ruling body,FHRA(Finnish Hot Rod Association)to run in some tax problems as they raked in a lot of money.They had 80 000 fans to their annual car shows etc.But they soon killed the popularity and especially super popular street car series.As an example,I went to a national series meet and in class C (under 6 liters) there were 48! small block Mopars alone!Stupid rules and just plain stupidity reduced the series in just couple of years to 8-10 car fields.I raced only local series which retained their popularity albeit FHRA trying to get in on action.In 2002 I won West Coast street cup class D (over 6 liters) with my 1964 Malibu SS with 467 bbc,8-71,8:1 comp,totally street legal here and 100% streetable.It ran 9.624/143 as best and ran those times in 100% street trim.That year we had eight 9 sec cars and about ten 10 sec cars.All this with population of 5.5 million.
Thanks for sharing your time Jason !!!
Good to see Jason again. I had seen him running his "Stock" Buick. If you want you can send me one of your blocks to use in my Altered. I had a 500 Mopar but a lowlife relieved me of it!
Thanks Jason for giving your time to the interview! Great to hear what you have going on.
Joe, there is a reason they call Super Street cars Concession cars 😂😂
I could listen to Brian Tooley talk for days......
Is there a better cam design for a Ford 7.3 Powerstroke Diesel? The Stage 1 Cam has 186 IN, 195 EX, .430” IN Lift, .433 EX Lift, 107 LSA. With a 444 CI foundation with Forced Induction, I feel that 107 LSA is a bit Wide and the Endurance can be reduced to help maintain a decent Idle without sacrificing any HP or Ft LBS of TQ
The specific displacement for the 6 cylinder is higher than for an 8 cylinder. That means changes should be evident as each power pulse is a larger part of the overall output.
100% Agree. Every rule that is put in to lower cost did the exact opposite.
I got my friend to get the plate "SOULESS" for his Tesla Plaid
LOL
I know Jay for 12 or so years maybe more. Jay is able to not just talk the talk but he can back it up and walk the walk. Not always a simple thing to do or find these days.
Thanks for sharing!
Would someone tell Brian 780 hp is nothing new and the LS is a cheap windor copy.
I don't think I have enjoyed any racing more than when He and his contemporaries were competing in the NHRA Pro-Stock Class. Good Job Professor!!
Well said!
Cool…
Kudo's Jay. It's not easy starting a business, let alone an engine building/machine shop business. I commend you 100%. I wish you all the best😊
Well said!
Awesome Jay!!! Way to go man
Thanks! You too!
Wow, I don't know Mark Vieau but next time I need plug wires, I'll reach out to Scott wires first. What a great story.
With hol mfg doing what theyve done, this has opened the door to honest parts businesses in USA, keep it up 👌
here's a 30min. video and he hardly even talked about his company and what they do. don't see that too often. most of the time people just want to promote their product. very nice watch.
He's an awesome guy.
bullshit i build race engines two stroke and 4 stroke explain smartass why the outperforms with needle bearing
No offense, but just talked about their backgrounds. Kinda boring.. What about rating head manufacturers are putting out the best parts per dollar spent! If THIS is ONLY for high budgets, and not the backyard mechanics, it's just a waste of time for me. What about for the MASSES!?
Guy is a Richard Crainium! Saw him at a race in Memphis and was TOTALLY RUDE to this little boy! Didn't have his parents with him, and was kinda nervous, talkin softly.. And he just crushed his spirit being a jerk.. just stood there not knowing what to do.
I L O V E PORTING HEADS!
That would be AWESOME if they would make a ITB setup for the LS and Hemi that is reasonably priced!!
That would be great!
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,gotta look into those Scott wires................
Yep!
Humble man
Mark is great
Awesome story!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I really think that guy is the smartest guy out there.
Very educational thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Glad it was helpful!
Don't forget Elkhart Lake🏁
Amazing career 😮
Absolutely!
Men like Warren Johnson make America great. We need more men and women like him.
One of the very best in so many ways. Glad to have a relationship with this great man.
Couldn't agree more!
You don't have to be an engine builder to learn from these successful people...
So true!
The best screwmachine built is a Brown&Sharpe it runs with cams with an autofeeder.
I seen a Dodge Viper Engine reliabillty test happen in realtime. It ran for 24 hours maxed out and when it stopped it almost melted on it self it was solid red hot.
Would like to have heard why some cam companies discontinued Morel part # 7717 for oiling issues.
Bitter would be the least of how one would of felt! Regarding getting fired. Great, humble man.
So true!
Want real hp get dohc motor drop push rods and the valvetrain of the 5os. Yes they can make power but never last. Smaller lighter more efficient engines can make big hp and last 10 times longer. This would be like kuds going back to flip phones and speak and spell. Why? Get in 22st century car makers from usa.
Nah... want torque? Ditch the DOHC. "Lasts 10 times longer.." NOPE. The 12 feet of timing chain, the guides, and the tensioners WILL be shot before 100,000 miles. Also, I like to NOT have to spend $3000 to cam up my engine, and have to replace FOUR cams and the ridiculous timing setup. DOHC?? 👎
Lol stroke does torque not 2 valve pushrods. do you know anything about engines? and timing chain on dohc last a goid long time. Old push rod has no adbantage not one over dohc Not mention dohc can rev much higher make more hp and torque per cubic inch. Only race series do.inated by old push rod motors are Nascar and dirt track, neither what you call tech series. Basically stuck in 60s.
The Lights he Saw after were Win Lights ! Man I wish he could help another Allen these Days.! Great show guys !
The machine work of the manifolds is so intriguing
Absolutely!
KZread and TikTok are the greatest platforms for people proving how little they really know. You can use the internet as intended to educate yourself or to breed fools . You have 3 choices!❤❤❤❤
I watched one of those engine builder vlogs that he turned a Chevy small block ( V8 ) into a V6 for Bonneville by deleting two pistons and rods and adding some secret weights to the crank I never heard the results
I'm pretty sure it went to Bonneville and set a land speed record...
If I could afford it, I'd have him build an engine for a Drag n Drive car. He seems like one of the only people who can build something that would sustain the street drive abuse and the drag racing for a week.
Definitely 😁 Prolly be 50k errr sooo
They do amazing work!
Steve Morris does a good job at that too.
@ around 22:00, Ed mentions a barf eater......WTF is that??
Bar Feeder
Just being funny because that's what it sounded like LOL
Does anyone know the approximate HP numbers of the tubes beneath the restrictor plate and the extra restrictor plate? I know 600 HP before restrictor plate, then minus 200 with the plate, then additional HP with the plenum tubes, then more HP with the extra plate and thick gasket?
The first ones were worth 40 HP...
i talked to aj at gainsvill one day wayback when. it was after he was out.even then a sad allen was great.
