Congrats Olivia!
12.7 with a big hunk of iron like that is really good!
Well done!
Hey guys! Nice to see you in the 12's! First, burnouts through water, with any kind of threaded tire, is a toss-up at best. Water will clung to the tread, even when you get smoke on the burnout. Once you pull up to the line, the water in the tread can be pulled down onto the track and cause slippage off the line. Better to do a dry burnout and just avoid the water.
Second, "power braking" on the line puts a lot of stress on the flexible engine mounts. If you break one on the line, you will shred the fan shroud with the fan, and possibly jam your throttle and/or transmission linkage(ask me how I know!) So, if you're going to do it, chain the left side of the engine downto the frame.
Again congrats on the 12.7!
Really Congratulations Liv, absolutely love watching you both. Your reaction when finding out you ran a 12 was priceless, you made me smile
Thank you so much!!
Good job, bro-ette! 👍
Liv went to kick ass and break records. Mission accomplished!
One thing that's odd to me is, I put down 2.00 on my 60 ft times on street tires in my 71 Camaro and it's only a 13.8 second car. And I mean true street tires. Hankook Synergy 275/60R15.
I wonder if you need to lower the RPM while you're sitting on the staging beams, then hit the throttle after you release the brake pedal. Maybe bring the RPM up just barely enough to load the suspension but not fully stress it, before the green light.
Congratulations on the 12.70 Liv......no more beer for the crew chief.
Congratulations Liv and Big Wave! I knew you could get those 12s at a good track like Bakersfield.
Big Wave, your steering wheel looks like it's probably time for a replacement to be on the safe side.
Congrats LIV!! I love looking in your eyes when you race.
Get it! I ran my first 9 at Famoso. Such a great track and the crew there is amazing. Glad you got you 12, so awesome!
Thank you!!
Awesome P.B. Olivia, you made that look easy. Great job too Danny!
Glad you guys were able to do this and get some practice in. 🍻
Good job getting into the 12 sec. Fun Fun watching you both fly down the track. Got my hat yesterday. Woo Hoo
Big congratulations !!!🎉🎉🎉 Home run on the first pitch ! Fun stuff
Congrats!!!😊 You guys did a great job.😊😊😊
You guys are funny! Thankx for showing the blessing. My guess was 3400. More fun times!
You guys always are so funny, with different situations you get into, but I am truly impressed with Danny's knowledge 😊, I am very extremely happy for you getting the 12 bracket and being very comfortable and consistent 😊
I just have read all the reviews, Olivia and Danny, myself I would keep the Big Wave simple, it's a daily driver and, myself I would not do anything more to it, it's going to be a very reliable driver for you OK 😀 thanks 👍
I truly enjoy watching Liv's automotive enthusiasm.
Thank you! :)
Breaking in with the wiper arm is legendary.
Great job Guys refreshing to see a relatable car , little more torque convertor would make a big difference 👍
Dude if your too lazy to break out a pair ofJack stands for yourself at least do it for when your girl is changing wheels. I was like you up until my 72 blazer pumpkin slid off a cheap floor Jack. My arm was between the 31” tire and the fender well shoving out the center cap to rotate it to the front and it snapped my Radius bone below my wrist. One botched surgery left my arm clocked 90’ out and another surgery to correct it right ac10” plate and 6 screws and my arm will never be normal again. You don’t want that guilt make her put something under the car when her legs are under the backing plate. Even if it’s your own leg please? It hurts me to watch that shit. One wheel comes off, the weight shifts to one side, I didn’t think to consider that but I do now.
Exactly what I thought
Safety is a real word.......not just an idea....😢
Good advice I’ll take it for my future jacking work
😀👏👏👏👏Always a good watch!!! And the 12’s!!! Congratulations🏁🍻🍻😊
I always hide a piece of that plastic strapping that comes on your parcels somewhere on the car. . You can fold it and slide it betwee the door glass and the rear side glass and feed it in around the lock button. pull it tight and up and you're in!
Gratulation dear Olivia for your 12,70 sec 👍👍👍
Awesome you hit the 12👌nice✌️🏁♥️💯 nice way to open the door🤣
Congratulations on your accomplishment! And in a car you built yourself, no less! Have you and Danny thought about installing a line lock on it?
Way to go on the 12 second car! I actually thought to myself when Danny was getting ready to make his pass, that he’s definitely running a 12.9 due to the extra pancakes, and he runs a 12.99 😂
I'll never forget in high school, I'm at a pizza place with my girlfriend and locked the keys in my 67 Chevelle and used of all things a pen spring to pop the door lock knob, the crazy thing is I had just re-installed the stock knobs about a week prior as the car had those chrome no theft knobs with no head to pull up on!, thanks for the memories!
Always, I mean always take the passenger side wiper arm: if it rains, the driver sees something and you have a spare wiper... Great that your Pontiac is in the 12's, congrats!👍
That was too cool!
Deep in the 12's right off the bat. Well now ya know! You didn't even need to pull the air cleaner!
You need a magnetic key box that you can hide in the front end of the tempest were you can always be able to get into your car if that happens again guts. Dan seems pretty cool and owns up to mistakes. Dan did real good run 12.99 jump in and go.
I was like...'Vent window, vent window!!'... nicely done. In da 12's!!!
Absolutely love this channel, congrats on your 12 second slips! Car runs great and seems to be super reliable. 🤙🏼
Thank you!!
CRANGRATS!!!
you made it, a 12.74 in the 1/4. That's so cool. BIG WAVE ran great and was consistently running 12s. Take care, ❤
I'm So Happy for you folks. You continue to do what we used to do in Sacramento in 1981. Our/ Your Governor in Fair Oaks 3 miles away from where I went to school ( Del Campo) Want's to crush your car. if it's not electric/Controlled by My on/ off switch. Don't let Goverence Stop You! Fight them. Great Vids.
Go Liv Go !! Outstanding afternoon. You did Awesome 😎
Thanks so much!!
really good.if you get the line pressure up on your transmition it will help shifts are streched out a bit.just tryin to help.i can see your haveing fun.
Liv and Danny, excellent job. Ya’ll should consider an alarm tho, and chain down the hood.
Congratulations!!! You are getting that LeMans running like a top. I can't believe this is the same car with the old OHC 6 you started with!
Great video, great driving liv, I knew you could do it, that Pontiac sounds awesome ❤❤❤
One of the first purchases I made after getting my 1997 Chevy Lumina was have a spare door key cut.....My daughter has the spare set of keys that came with the car.....but I figure since I have the car, I may accidentally lock the keys in it....the spare key is on another key ring, separate from the main keys.
Another good video, The Big Banana had a good day, always keep your window cracked, so you can use a coat hanger to get into it.
Congrats on the progress with the poncho…..she is movin for a literal land yacht
May is an amazing guy. I’m blessed to know him
*It sounds like your distributor needs to meet my old Allen Test distributor Machine.*
Congratulations!! Would like to seen a run without the air filter. Engine Masters showed a 3 to 5 hp gain without the air filter.
Awesome stuff guys! As a Mopar guy, it seems weird to me to get locked out of the car. My doors wont lock without the key. If you push the lock down, it pops back up when you close the door.
So cool!! Happy for Liv.
Consistency is great. Then start doing the old school hot rodders tricks like you guys brought up. Taking off the air cleaner, ice the intake, hood removal. Great seeing you guys all had fun. Kids in garages and kids in sports stay off the streets. Lol.
Holly Cow!!!! 12.77!!!! Impressive!!!!
Awesome that you guys were able to have the track to yourself. What day did you guys do this as they had races held this past weekend? Also, can we see that engine bay? Not sure if I’ve ever seen it 👍
Update….. haha, I saw a little of the engine as I kept watching your video.
I gotta wait to comment when finished watching 😅 cause then you guys go to The Cowboy Palace???? I’ve only been to Chatsworth once in my life and was there for a work training. Haha the one bar I went too was The Cowboy Palace. Too funny.
Congratulations on achieving a 12 sec. Was cheering you on from my sofa lol. Keep the vids coming. My favourite UA-cam channel
Hahah thank you for watching
Great job olivia and Danny big wave is sure fast
FYI a Hide-a-key on the care doesn't add too much weight
Bobby Crespo. Taught me 70 Chevelle ( bright red) 427 Sac. Raceway. Relax, Leave on the Yellow... Reaction time. sight think step. motor mounts. leaf springs. Then the car goes
New subscriber. Love the channel. And Olivia is gorgeous !!!
To make the tempest faster, cut a hole on left and right hood and you can temporary install four black pipes from the hood instead of the banana pipes, or you can remove the banana pipes leave the ls engine as is.
Cool, Got a 72 Chevelle that I'm starting. thinking about keeping it Old school with a 496.
Congrats 12s 🍺Cheers
Congratulations I love the track you guys got it going on great teamwork
Olivia needs her photo up there.
It's a wing window car. Butterknife!
Liv. You should try to Red light a couple of times. See Yellow? Floor it!
Thats a fast daily driver. If you want lower 60 ft times you have a couple of options to keep it a daily driver but faster. Lower gears, I ran 4.10s in my daily driver and had 1.60 60ft times, a higher stall converter to get harder launch, or more power? Nitrous? 100 hp would make a huge difference but not affect daily drivability. Great job 👏 its addictive I know 😊
That was a fun video, Congrats on your 12! Keep the vids coming🙏
Congratulations on the 12s
Congrats guys! Very cool 😎
Good Job Olivia, 12.7.
Gratz for all your hard work,you did great and the car too
Liv yeah launch on yellow 12.70s eat your breakfast 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😎
Good going girl. There is a calculator online that can take the weight of your car, the elapsed time and give you a HP .
Congratulations. That's cool.
You will have to try a race fuel adative with non ethanal fuel. Happy happy carburator take a look at some. Congadulations on meeting your race time goal .
What great progress on your car 🎉
You guys are great.
The second pass we didn't get to see a burnout or the timeboard😢 I think Olivia's a better camera person😅
She needs to pay attention to whoever was driving the Vega and nova.
Bottoms up!
Needs a little more converter and those shifts are a little lazy (could be firmer). Add a transbrake and 11s are not out of the question
Weedpatch hwy…… and rosa’s pizza is what i think of when i hear bakersfield….and cow manure…..is rosa’s pizza still a thing there??
Congratulations you guys are awesome love your channel ❤️
only rec i have is possibly fuel lean or timing but maybe both. more fuel maybe, adj timing to accomodate. also maybe drag shocks on front.
Go back to start and get a good look at your face when Dan takes your food away.... You looked like
you were goind to cry. regards from Ody Slim
'69 Dodge Charger!!!!! I need that car 💪🤙💪
Nice congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
WooHoo!!!! nice job. 👏🙌👍🤙
Time to invest in a alarm with Auto door locks or a hide a key
I hope you can save up for some bodywork and paint on that goat. FYI if you paint that car it’ll make it more aerodynamic and make it go down the track faster. (Science) 😂
You guys need to build a drag car with all the bells and whistles
Soon!
Have you guys ever reduced rear tire pressures... more Rpm on suspension load set up, and launch.
Very nice. Congratulations. The car sounds like it needs more stall speed.
Good stuff folks. Who keeps the Camels in the car? 1 2 or both of you? Just checkin cause I do the same thing 2. And they are going to outlaw Menthols soon. I hear & Go Y ?
Cool show thanks
Pretty fast fun old car :) reminds me of my 67 Chevelle. :) and i had a fast 11 sec 74 kawi triple 750 2 stroke back in my hayday :)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
You guys need a stall converter, not a large one just something to get you off the line a little quicker..
I love Pontiac!
Don Garlits never did that! Eat up lol
Atta girl!!
That was great.
A few more years and I’m tellin ya,you’ll be in that front engine dragster cause you been bitten by the racin bug😀
Congratulations gears, better burnouts, bring the RPMs up a little more. 12.60s.
Do you mind me asking what gears are you running?😊
More gear, more gear, more gear.
You should call out that Detroit street racing legend the Dodge Black Ghost. my money is on the Poncho
That was hilarious
Great runs congratulations but there is room for improvement on your launch and light
