Rebuilt the Holley carburetor and modified it to better handle the boost from the Weiand Supercharger.

I have a few more #FamilyBurnoutWagon videos I need to add here.

Firstly, rivnuts are legitimately an awesome thing you can add to your project. I didn’t get paid or endorsed by anyone to make this. I just really think they are that good.


Second, if you need more adjustment on the secondary part of a vacuum secondary car, I have the answer. With very little effort you can add a metering block to the secondary side which allows you to swap different jets in. Fast and simple. Check it out.

I made some updates and repairs to the #FamilyBurnoutWagon and then we went to the drag strip to test out some slicks and fail. Check out the video here:

Lockwire. Because racecar. Good call on the end-curl. No need to leave random razor blades lying around...

I like the ownership montage. Challenger trying to stay in-frame.

Lockwire because aircraft mechanic. It's like aviation's duct tape. If I was smart I would have drilled a hole through the other nut and lock wired them together.

I'm hoping to have a little better run this winter. Maybe I can have a number I can be proud of with a torque converter that stays locked up under power, a bit more boost, colder temps, and a lot more driving skill. Something that starts with a 13 would be a good start. Although, I was proud of putting away all those late model cars. Even with my terrible driving.

Most importantly, Thanks for watching the video!

The #FamilyBurnoutWagon got some love. I have figured out how to get the "LS Brakes" emergency brake to work with the GBody cable. Also, I am really happy with the Caprice springs. Check out the video.
