THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!!

So close to that 9 second pass.
Keep up the great videos.
Thanks! Will do!
Loving the drag strip videos.
Keep em coming
Mexico is calling my name lol
Psssst... your grandma called...wants her glasses back...😂😂😂
😂😂😂
dope ass video as always! keep em coming!
Appreciate you 🫡
There’s a AWD/4x4 shoutout on Friday at Milan.
Might enter in that and see what the Hawk can do.
Looks like a lot of fun, like you're going for Sunday cruise
Yea, it could be a lot faster.
The tune is soft
Loving the content brother
Thanks brother.
Appreciate you watching and commenting
Oh Man a fellow Michigan man, subscribed!
Appreciate you watching and commenting.
Stay blessed 🫡
Man, that thing should be knocking down 9s effortlessly... have you been logging and sending it to them for revisions? Also be careful on making hits with less than half a tank, the fuel will stick to the walls from the hit and starve the pumps. 🤙👊😎🫡
Good looking out on fuel level, I always knew not to run it hard under a quarter tank but didn’t know at under was bad as well.
I’ve been logging but haven’t got any revisions yet.
Hoping we can figure it out at the Livernois track rental this Saturday.
You do excellent video content keep up the good work there. Out of curiosity though what are your thoughts on where Dodgers going?
Thank you.
And to answer your question, I think they’re going down hill.
The future should be hybrid not full electric.
Hell yeah brother was wondering what you where running the last video from the track. The 10s is nothing do look down on but super low 10s almost 9s let's go bro. An you finally broke down and bought one ethanol R lol
So close but so far.
It’ll get there, it’s just needs some more fine tuning.
That one ethanol R is no joke, had a hard time finding some but finally got lucky with a dealer that’s not too far away from me.
575$ for 54 gallons shipped
Great content! Have you thought about running an interchiller system to keep it cooler between passes?
Thank you!
Yes I have, got one sitting in my garage right now waiting to be installed lol
Fast AF boy
I really love your content, keep it up and soon we gonna see you at 9s club :D
Thank you 🫡🫡
🔥🔥🔥
Appreciate it brother

Get a chiller system on that blower man, guaranteed to be more consistent pass after pass.
100%
That will be the next mod.
Especially with summer coming
Your reaction time keeps you in the 10s 😂😂
Maybe different tire ?
4/5lbs more of boost ?
Better tune ? 😂
The time starts when the vehicle moves, not when the light turns green 😂😂😂
@@AirborneAmerican ahhh good to know lol then why does reaction matter ?
@@Dadrian-ip2rp Good question.
When drag racing another person it’s the first one that gets to the end that wins.
Not the person who runs the better time.
Did that make sense?
@@AirborneAmerican so the slower machine wins ? 😂 lame
@@Dadrian-ip2rp Lol Sometimes it happens like that.
But really it’s the better driver that wins.
You made watching video enjoyable. I only see 400 subs... that will change.
Thank you.
I appreciate that.
Moar videos on that CHARGER. What a beauty.
What kind of videos do you want to see with it?
@@AirborneAmerican A nice walk around with it idling. That is one beautiful car.
@@tangledline I got you.
Just a few Driving tips should put you into the nines easily.
If you got any I’m all ears
Demon 170 is the perfect example of bought not built 😂 that assistant was shameful who lined him up crooked 😂😂😂😂😂
You gotta learn somehow for most people it's just not on 1000hp cars they'll get better with more seat time.
Learn on something less insane. Bring this out once you know what you're doing.
I get your point but mannnn anybody that even casually watches drag knows that thing needs lower pressure and more heat.
(Yes I'm a track rat)
@@jaybomb5022 Yeah I get where you’re coming from that would be my advice too but he’s probably a guy that works hard and bought a fun car. He’s definitely got more money than sense but at the end of the day we’re all just trying to have fun even if we’re being stupid.
Hi nice video close race with the f150.. Should race mototube again
That Demon 170 was doing some weak burnouts nowhere near enough heat in the tire the 1st few passes. Last pass he finally did a decent burnout and it hooked alot better. He needs to pull the car up out of the water a bit more before he starts his burnout and get them tires warm! As you said looks like he may have some other issues.
100%
I was thinking the same things.
Wanted to say something but you never know who people will take things.
If I see him there again I’m gonna say something.
Was disappointing to see it have issues when you know how capable they are.
Lot of people need to learn to drive before you go to the track
Let them learn at a test&tune night at the track. Give them some slack at least they're interested and trying.
@@Make-Asylums-Great-Again 100%
Gotta support the people that come out, try their best, and keep this hobby alive.
That’s where people learn. At the track.
Toss a bag of ice on the supercharger get them temps down a bit
Good advice.
I also need to get a chiller setup.
Great video bro loved it. Good advice on checking fluids..... Really good advice which is why I run two breathers one for each side. Remember E85 will cause ur breather to fill up with water pretty quick so make sure u drain those as well.
Appreciate you bro.
I’ve been thinking about the two catch can thing for awhile but didn’t know for sure what to get.
You’re a beast when it comes to this Trackhawk platform.
Always dropping that knowledge
@@AirborneAmerican Yes brother get the Billet Evolution Pro catch can from Satera Tuning and yes u will need two of them one for each side.
I tried one and fuilds and oil were coming out of it and leaking down onto the header. They have a pet-cock with a hose that drains out.
Once I put the second one in I had no more issues but I drain them once a week and a LOT of water comes out like a half a cup each time on both sides.
Im not sure if Dan has talked to u about this but u should be leaving in SECOND gear bro not first. Dan can send u a file with 1st gear removed. Just have him do it for ALL modes. Sport, Track and Auto.
When u bump up to the 3.8 that 1st gear will become useless. Its pretty much useless now as its just too tall.
U can also have it tuned to close the throttle body when it sees tire slip I have mine set up that way.
Ur gonna want to slow ur throttle down which is gonna be necessary when ur making 1200 whp trust me.
Ive been thru many trial and errors trying to get it dailed in its not easy when ur making a lot of power or should I say MORE power than ur making now cause ur making a a LOT of power right now as it is.
Making HP is easy. Putting it down is much harder but with the help of a good tuner u should be able to get it dailed in.
The DSC controller will help as well. Ur gonna want that when u try to dial in ur truck as u can make the rear shocks stiffer cause u can control how much pressure is put back there same for the fronts.
Its just another recipe in the combo to get all that power to actually hook up. Remember its a BLOWER not a Turbo so controlling boost cant be done with conventional means like with a Turbo so other measures have to be taken.
@@TENNESSEETRACKHAWK Good looking out on the catch can.
Dan did the 1st gear delete a while ago and it helped out a ton, feel less aggressive but a lot more controllable.
We need to work on the tune.
It feels a little sluggish out the gate.
It cut a 1.49 60ft but I feel like it could do a lot better.
@@AirborneAmerican What the word of the Whipple 3.8? 1.49 isnt too shabby.... I bring the 3.8 to 1800 rpm's on launch.
Its like leaving off an Aircraft carrier its brutal AF.
Remember Trackhawks are only .2 tenths slower on the street then the track!
@@TENNESSEETRACKHAWK I’ve decided to hold off on the 3.8 whipple.
I want to build another car strictly for drag racing, so I’m trying to save up.
I tried leaving at 1,800 rpm’s but I kept pushing through my brakes.
I think I need different pads.
How has your Hawk been treating you?
💯
🙏🫡
Your boy in the Lighting jumped early.
He didn’t jump, had a better launch
He definitely went before the light turned green.
But he didn’t red light because of the way he staged on the tree.
It’s a little drag racing trick that not too many people know about.
@@MarkBradshaw-rp7hh He definitely had a better launch.
He’s a lot better at reading the tree, but I’m getting there.
In the next video, I cut a lot better light.
@@AirborneAmerican Oh yep I didn’t even notice that. Thanks for pointing that out.
Let the rpm scream
What do you use to set up your go pro in the car
Believe it or not, just the mount that came with the GoPro MAX.
Nothing special
Smallrig makes some amazing suction cups for inside the vehicle and external suction with an incorporated magnet for external mounting.
@@Make-Asylums-Great-Again I need to check them out.
My camera game is lacking.
Are you Amish? Are you allergic to mustaches?
Yes and yes
😂😂😂
There's a reason why ford people are always trying to brag about beating Mopars.
History just repeats.
Nobody ever ran 8’s with a Demon 170,…only Dodge claimed that number.
It’s been done.
Check the forums, there is proof with time slips.
Hawk looks great you’ll hit a 9 DA was probably crap….glad the blower lived…I think a little tune tweak may get you over the edge to 9 sec territory great video as always thanks for all you do..LIKE FOLLOW SUBSCRIBE!!!!!
100%
It was a bit humid, been raining here every other day.
Fingers crossed 🤞on the blower.
About to make some pretty big upgrades with it to make even more power and have it be more reliable.
Livernois track rental is this Saturday, should be able to tweak the tune and get that 9 second pass, hopefully.
Dude where u been? I was searching youtube and Google to find out why your channel was gone and u dropped off. Did they take your channel down?
Welcome back OG 🫡
I’m sure you’ve seen my explanation video by now.
Killer Videos and a Bad AZZ TrackHawk
Thank you
I appreciate it.
It’s about to get even badder
Burns oil cold start... ?
I’m having a blow by issue because I’m running high boost and a defect with the stock hellcat supercharger gasket.
Got a fix on the way.
170 guys burnouts are weak sauce. It's got nothig to do with "the groove"
He definitely needs to improve his drag racing skills.
Hopefully he’s a lot better the next time I see him out there.
If your car is fast enough, driving around them is so much better for the video.
100%
A lot more fun that way too
New video please
Editing another Drag Strip video as I type this.
Should be even better than this one.
Gonna try to drop it today, if I can get the editing done.
If not today, then tomorrow for sure.
Alright bro
@@Rob.Purdy. letting me know what you think
Need revision tunes get tuner some logs
100%
I’ve been logging but haven’t got any revisions yet.
Their track rental is this Saturday hopefully we can get this thing dialed in.
We need a new video buddy
I got you buddy.
Been working on editing one for the last two days.
Appreciate the comment
The reason youre not runnin 9s is cuz of that haircut....JK!!!
😂
Maybe I should shave my head to lighter and more aerodynamic
I like your jeep but do you bring a blanket and pillow to the line? If not you may be narcoleptic.
😂😂😂
I could be
@@AirborneAmerican I was taught a long time ago on a sportsman tree (decending yellows) to go on the instant the third yellow lights and (depending on the cars rollout) you will have a good light. I have ran dozens of .00 lights but sportsman trees are easy to do that pro trees are way harder.
@@GAGEDADYGood advice.
I appreciate it.
I was pretty happy with that .095 but I need to be more consistent
Need to work on reaction time, a couple were more than a full second late
100%
I’m still a beginner when it comes to the track but I’m getting better.
I don’t know if you seen the new video when I raced the Mustang.
Had a lot better reaction time.
Stop hitting your brakes
When was I hitting the brakes?
None of the Demon 170 are doing good most can’t hook or issue
Yea it’s super disappointing.
They’re are special vehicles but the gremlins they have are ruining their reputation.
He was running 18 psi, Mickey Thomas said you can run them at 14 no problem.
Wonder if that would have helped him hook.
