    32,600 dyno pulls in 2 1/2 years... Mind. Fucking. Blown. 🤯
    This was a great video, Tmez. Hopefully you can do more like this within the industry.

    Tim Engler is probably the most knowledgeable man I have ever meet. He treats everyone the same. We spend a day on the dyno and he explains everything in ways that really make ot simple to understand.

      @tmezTv Will you be watching the High Limits showcase from the Motorplex on the 28th, 29th and 30th this month? I will be there on the 28th as we are a support division with Speedcars. Not sure about going to the other 2 nights. Tickets are virtually sold out from what I hve heard. I really appreciate your content. It's not easy posting all the time. I don't think it would be hard for you to find a drive over here in the West.

    Tim is an absolute genius. I think I ran 3 of his injections over my racing days. Fantastic video as well my guy TMEZ.

  • @raykaufman7156
    @raykaufman7156 Місяць тому +2

    I was at Tommy Reitz shop years ago, and he had one of the first 3" Englers to be used on a 360. At the time, I had a 3" Crower on my 480 big block and everyone thought it was huge.
    Tim is a true innovator. Great to see an inside look at the business. The tractor stuff was amazing.

    Me personally the same story about Jones producing enough power with the SCAT Mtr. Jones was very reluctant letting Tim do what he did !!

    Thomas, if you get the chance, ask Tim to tell you about qualifying.
    At Eldora at least if I'm remembering correctly, I believe that was where it was at and his trick, he used to qualify faster to get a better time.
    Or at least it's the story I heard back here in Minnesota i was always curious if it was true or not.
    And if he did actually do it, I was curious if it helped and and if he did it, but he doesn't want to people know you could just put down, yes, it worked or something like that.

      He is using the FR9 ford cylinder head which is the head use on a nascar cup motor.
