I know what you mean about tech being picky. I showed my '67 Mustang at Autorama. The tech guy looked in the car and said you have black radio knobs so your car goes in the "altered" class. The altered class is for cars with blowers sticking out of the hood and fender flares - not radio knobs.
Yes, and it surprised the heck out of me. Also they change the class they put your car in year after year. The car has not changed, just the opinion of the tech guys.
Hey cleetus I came up to LS fest on Saturday and got to meet you there. I just wanted to say thank you for making it an amazing experience. We went as a class trip with my local tech school and everyone loved it. I watched your 65mph run. Even though it didn't work out I loved seeing old leeroy running down the track.
Although you're heat shrunk, if you start getting noisy signals, you may want to to consider soldering the connections instead of butt splices. Bare minimum butt splices with the anticorrosion grease glue goop on the inside. Noisy electrical connections from vibrations at speed can be a nightmare to track down.
Don't lose faith Garrett. You'll get it sorted out man. I know it can be frustrating and tough, but I believe you'll get it eventually and finally get the satisfaction of ripping it down the track.
Man that 1100 horse 350 z sounded brutal. I think it would be pretty cool seeing leroy out there dancing around. Can't believe 2725 on weight thats amazing especially when you think about the horsepower. Awesome video man.
Went to Ls fest yesterday met Cleetus and Cooper in person bother pretty cool guys sad Leroy was broken best of wishes they get him fix soon also got some footage of racing and of Leroy on my channel CLEETUS COME TO BRISTOL ON THE 16th we have an event at thunder valley if you get Leroy fixed come race him here
Listen here brother,I stay down in homestead Florida and we got banged up pretty bad with Irma.had no power for a few days and as soon I found out we had power,I made sure to watch your latest episode.keep up the great content dude 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Sterling work as usual! Love your videos man. There is not many (none in fact) youtubers that can make me laugh so hard as cleetus. Your love of cars shines through, keep it up brutha!
You could have just piped the WBO2 voltage into an unused sensor channel on the ECM. The C5 guys use the EGR voltage channel. Works great and you don't need to deal w/ any EIO connections.
Great video as usual can I suggest Cleetus you do what we did on our drag car is to put the Shoot Pin in the opposite direction to the cable so as when the pin is pulled out it's impossible to pop the shoot we lost finals race because some one saw the pin still in and thinking he was doing the correct thing just ripped it out and the shoot completely dumped it's self out on the ground love all your videos buddy
ha Kayla's friends face when Leroy fired up 12:58. She was like "how can anyone hear my break-up rant over all these bald eagles!?!!" Hell yeeeah brother : ))
Can I suggest changing your ending from that fidget spinner thing to you filming yourself in the drift car?? The spinner isn't all that "savage"....the LS Drift cars shredding off some rubber....that sir... THAT is SAVAGE!
Put on a cable throttle body, those dbw ones don't like big motors with turboskees. The motors in the tb don't like all that vacuum and air induction fighting the tb motors
I highly doubt this will help you, but on my 03 Silverado I got the same reduced engine power message. It turned out being the throttle position sensor. But thats a stock truck not nearly as Savage as Leroy.
Cleetus, why don't you powershift (keep the accelerator floored, stab the clutch, bang the next gear)? I'm curious because you are leaving a good bit of time on the table by granny shifting.
you can tune with a wideband on a non pro hp tuners, tie your wideband signal to ac pressure switch and add a user defined pid. there are write-ups on varius websites to do so edit: tuned a 600 hp turbo 5.3 s10 doing it this way
hahaha what a mad vid. just a tip thogh: put the chutes safety pin in the other shide when you pack it so when cooper pulls the pin out again it doesnt fly out at him hahaha
So... is retaining the drive-by-wire throttle body something you really need to stick with? I'd think that would be swapped for an old school throttle cable operated one but maybe those drive-by-wire units can be good even for drag?
If you only knew then that you are goin to be one bad ass drifter it’s so crazy how far you have came man good shit I’m prob one of your biggest fans I love your content I pray one day I can come to a cleetus and cars or any of your events
dude you had time and parts to sort it out,hell it could still be a tune issue,you get side tracked easy is why you came unprepaired,hell ya brother,owell ,its about having fun
😂you gotta put the pin in from the other side cleetus. Love watchin you're channel. You need to bring leroy down under for one of our powercruize events.
Not sure why you keep thinking it's the tb? Seems to be on the top end with the highest load and boost level, almost like it's some kind of boost cut. Go with a full stand alone ecu
@CleetusMcfarland with all these sweet connections you should build a super late model and do some dirt racin brother! Come up here to Antioch motor speedway in NC where the great Ralph Earnhardt ran way back in the day. Idk if Leroy would pass tech at a dirt oval lol.
Hey Cletus, my brother! Are you going to the Street Peed Callout 2 at the Cecil County Dragway on October 28th? I'm flying out from Washington and I would surely like to meet you and see Leroy.
Thank you everyone who has sent prayers our way. Hoping our house and the Bald Eagle Machine will be ok through the wrath of Irma.
Cleetus McFarland . Hey Garret you need a Haltech brother. Hope all is good at home and everyone is safe. Cheers from Queensland Australia.
If you end up breaking it please hook a brutha up Cleetus!
Cleetus McFarland praying brother
Cleetus McFarland buy a 350z or a 240 and put Leroy's old motor in it, that would make an instant savage drift car
Cleetus McFarland I hope you'll get out of the storm alright but why would prayers do a difference?
Hate it when there's a premature ejection of the chute.
Its funny rewatching this from a year ago & seeing how far you guys have progressed.. takes me right back..
Bring Leroy to a drift event. See if he can get down for Dale
hell yeah
Yeaa
Hell y'all!
2jz Fox hell yeh brother
I thought that was going to be leroy's original intent. Then he went full blown drag.
Pulls shoot pin*
"Oh it popped out"
The fuck did you think was gunna happen😂
Seth K it's not a shoot pin it's a safety pin to make sure the shoot doesn't come open all the sudden...it's not supposed to deploy like that
Rykedrick Williams but when you pull the shoot isn't that the pin that moves to allow the shoot to deploy?
No, it's a backup safety. The big red banner says "Remove before flight" or something like that, at least that's what it says for airplane stuff.
rjk ohhhhh I thought he pulled the actual pin out not the back up thanks for pointing that out
Seth K The safety pin caught on the actual release pin which made it shoot out. You can just barely make it out.
I know what you mean about tech being picky. I showed my '67 Mustang at Autorama. The tech guy looked in the car and said you have black radio knobs so your car goes in the "altered" class. The altered class is for cars with blowers sticking out of the hood and fender flares - not radio knobs.
Garcansdad no way lol
Yes, and it surprised the heck out of me. Also they change the class they put your car in year after year. The car has not changed, just the opinion of the tech guys.
I laughed so hard watching the first clip with Cooper pulling the pin on the chute.
Hell yeah brother. Looking forward to watching this one.
Hey cleetus I came up to LS fest on Saturday and got to meet you there. I just wanted to say thank you for making it an amazing experience. We went as a class trip with my local tech school and everyone loved it. I watched your 65mph run. Even though it didn't work out I loved seeing old leeroy running down the track.
JUST GOT HOME OFF THE MOTORCYCLE, Cleetus has got a new video 👌🏼👌🏼 life is good

that caddy fricken launched
Gonzo you have no clue there was a lot of vehicle there I'm uploading footage tonight
Shane Hinds gave him that work in the wagon for sure.. Car is no joke!
I swear cleetus is the only UA-camr in Florida to evacuate
Supercar-Phantom he's no the only one Caleb quanbeck did to
if he did leave cause of the hurricane 😂 he would be damn near the only one cause the rest of us here are used to this shit lmao
Tavarish left too
haggard dipped out and went to ny
bulg7430 HURRINCANES ARE A PLOT TI SELL BOTTLE WATTTTERRRRRR YOU SHEEEP
Seeing that LS Twin Turbo 350z drift is so crazy.. last time I saw it in person was at Tx217 with some big ass slicks underneath it 😂
That hit marker though.
2:03 4th gen Camaro, 2:06 4th gen Camaro, and 2:11 4th gen Trans Am
Sucks that I was at LS Fest for 2 days and never saw Leroy make a pass... good thing I still got to meet you!
Man that 1100 horse 350 z sounded brutal. I think it would be pretty cool seeing leroy out there dancing around. Can't believe 2725 on weight thats amazing especially when you think about the horsepower. Awesome video man.
I saw u in the staging lanes but didn't get the chance to see you run. Glad to see u upload ls fest. This year was my first time and it was awesome!!
Went to Ls fest yesterday met Cleetus and Cooper in person bother pretty cool guys sad Leroy was broken best of wishes they get him fix soon also got some footage of racing and of Leroy on my channel CLEETUS COME TO BRISTOL ON THE 16th we have an event at thunder valley if you get Leroy fixed come race him here
Prayers for all those effected by the hurricanes. God bless America🇺🇸
Listen here brother,I stay down in homestead Florida and we got banged up pretty bad with Irma.had no power for a few days and as soon I found out we had power,I made sure to watch your latest episode.keep up the great content dude 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Cleetus straight up caught the Money Shot at 8:38 & 10:24 ... Great camera work brother
Sterling work as usual! Love your videos man. There is not many (none in fact) youtubers that can make me laugh so hard as cleetus. Your love of cars shines through, keep it up brutha!
Cleetus mcfartland
Liked the video before I even watched because I already know there's going to be some bald eagles in this video.
Drift dudes are the Cross-fitters of car enthusiasts
You could have just piped the WBO2 voltage into an unused sensor channel on the ECM. The C5 guys use the EGR voltage channel. Works great and you don't need to deal w/ any EIO connections.
I'm in central Florida with no power but I still watch!! Using my battery's!
Something to watch during Hurricane Irma lol
Great video as usual can I suggest Cleetus you do what we did on our drag car is to put the Shoot Pin in the opposite direction to the cable so as when the pin is pulled out it's impossible to pop the shoot we lost finals race because some one saw the pin still in and thinking he was doing the correct thing just ripped it out and the shoot completely dumped it's self out on the ground love all your videos buddy
Putting the safety pin in the same direction as the pull cable is a rookie mistake.
ha Kayla's friends face when Leroy fired up 12:58.
She was like "how can anyone hear my break-up rant over all these bald eagles!?!!"
Hell yeeeah brother : ))
😂 Cletus said" hmmm a burnout while moving? Drifting sounds awesome!!
Pick up an efi source gold box, that's what i'm running on my ls swapped ford granada, and it kicks ass. Great company to work with
5:19 that TBSS though 😍😍
On this episode Cooper gets his Spaghetti tossed for the very first time!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍HELL YEAH BROTHER!!!!!
Met you at ls fest! Nice to meet you man! Cool car! Hope everything is good at home!
That shrink wrap job looked good hope the new throttle body fixes ol leroy
ive seen your TB issue before. converting that c6 to a cable throttle body fixed the issue.
Throttle body? All it's gotta do is open all the way and close at some point....Hell yeah brother!
@8:39 So sick
Can I suggest changing your ending from that fidget spinner thing to you filming yourself in the drift car?? The spinner isn't all that "savage"....the LS Drift cars shredding off some rubber....that sir... THAT is SAVAGE!
All the Ford advertising on a video about LS Fets!! LOL!! HELL YEAH BROTHER!!
Hey cleetus, Let demuro review leroy, hell he may even take it to carmax.
Mike West I second this motion
Limp mode! That sucks. At least you got it fixed for good and Leroy missed out on Irma destruction.
Put on a cable throttle body, those dbw ones don't like big motors with turboskees. The motors in the tb don't like all that vacuum and air induction fighting the tb motors
That og twin turbskis 🤙🏽 hell yeah and praise dale! 🇺🇸
Bless, look at lil Coop running to keep up at 7:38 haha
2:08 Monaro cv8 for the Aussie 🤘👌
Surprised you guys didn't wire the WBO2 into the EGR port. Literally two wires and a custom PID and you can log the wideband with the standard MPVI.
I highly doubt this will help you, but on my 03 Silverado I got the same reduced engine power message. It turned out being the throttle position sensor. But thats a stock truck not nearly as Savage as Leroy.
Hell yea brother! Stay safe for Dale over there!!
That 2-step at the end was the greatest 2-step on UA-cam.
Yeaaaaa buddyyyyyy. LS Fest for the win. Pure savagery
Cleetus, why don't you powershift (keep the accelerator floored, stab the clutch, bang the next gear)?
I'm curious because you are leaving a good bit of time on the table by granny shifting.
Robert G, I personally like to blip the throttle between shifts. Keeps RPM up without letting it bounce off the rev limiter.
you can tune with a wideband on a non pro hp tuners, tie your wideband signal to ac pressure switch and add a user defined pid. there are write-ups on varius websites to do so
edit: tuned a 600 hp turbo 5.3 s10 doing it this way
Hell yeah had a friend go, sent me snaps of Leroy. Keep it up!!
I hope you are doing good in the hurricane, I'm in Tampa Bay area with you brother.
Was nice meeting you and getting your autograph. Sure your hand was soar by the end of the day
Damn that 350z was shredding!! I can see why hes that pumped
Y'all in Bradenton, Fl ? Woooooo!
Home one of the best short tracks in the country, and a drag strip. I love that place!
De Soto speedway and drag strip!
The COD hit marker when he tapped the wall was brilliant
dayum 1100hp sideways is beautiful
YES!!! ABOUT TIME YOU GOT THAT TUNER!!!!
This is literally the only channel I have notifications on for!
Well I know how this video is going to go.. let me guess limp mode.. Leroys new name is going to be "Limp Mode" respect for the hoonigan hit marker!!
pray for leroy to make some fast passes with the new throttle body and not cut power!
Can't wait to see you start drifting Leroy!
I love how everyone stares at the beautiful creature in the background!!
hahaha what a mad vid. just a tip thogh: put the chutes safety pin in the other shide when you pack it so when cooper pulls the pin out again it doesnt fly out at him hahaha
So... is retaining the drive-by-wire throttle body something you really need to stick with?
I'd think that would be swapped for an old school throttle cable operated one but maybe those drive-by-wire units can be good even for drag?
If you only knew then that you are goin to be one bad ass drifter it’s so crazy how far you have came man good shit I’m prob one of your biggest fans I love your content I pray one day I can come to a cleetus and cars or any of your events
Gotta get that "corvette by chevrolet" dash start up reprogrammed to say"hell yeah brother"
he put a hitmarker in the video 😂😂
A FUCKING TORNADO JUST WENT OVER MY HOUSE!!!
Cobster [B] Wilson im waiting for it to hit me now should hit around 3 am
Well good luck. Everything is fine for me tho
Cobster [B] Wilson thats good and thanks man
Vid or it didn't happen.
That's the way it is around here 😂
Cobster well go after it tell it to come back
thank god you posted something. I've been lost in deeveeaars live stream for hours
Dude I know this is so old but the shit you do when you hit limp mode is so damn funny it kills me lmao 😂
awesome man I hope the new throttle body works for you. it does look good on there so that ads a couple bald eagles
You ought to drift Leroy cuz you enjoy it so much.
dude you had time and parts to sort it out,hell it could still be a tune issue,you get side tracked easy is why you came unprepaired,hell ya brother,owell ,its about having fun
😂you gotta put the pin in from the other side cleetus. Love watchin you're channel. You need to bring leroy down under for one of our powercruize events.
"lets tear it up...We about too" he wasnt kidding.
11:57 looks like hes had too many bald eagles lol DO IT FOR DALE
350z rocking the bridgemoto helmet they got some good stuff
Is there a way to put a capacitor on the TB signal wire to even out the signal spike to the ECU?
Love it Cleetus!!
That hit marker you put when he kissed the wall 😂😂
Bad ass firebird 7:00
Not sure why you keep thinking it's the tb? Seems to be on the top end with the highest load and boost level, almost like it's some kind of boost cut. Go with a full stand alone ecu
Anyone notice the hoonigan tap effect at 8:38
Hitmarker ftw
That was fuckin sick
Edgar Martinez he's clearly been watching HOONIGAN
Its not an effect from hoonigan, its hit marker effect...
Oml the OG twin turbski sounded so goodddd
How do you race leroy??? Are you just fearless or trust yourself that much?
Dude I looked for you when I was at ls fest but I did talk to Cooper.tons of people there and it was a blast maybe next time
@CleetusMcfarland with all these sweet connections you should build a super late model and do some dirt racin brother! Come up here to Antioch motor speedway in NC where the great Ralph Earnhardt ran way back in the day. Idk if Leroy would pass tech at a dirt oval lol.
Subtle Hoonigan shoutout at 8:38
"don't show that one... HEY!" lmao
Wow that first drift car got DAMN close to the wall!
That z is absolutely awesome
Hey Cletus, my brother! Are you going to the Street Peed Callout 2 at the Cecil County Dragway on October 28th? I'm flying out from Washington and I would surely like to meet you and see Leroy.
