hello!! this is the daughter of kevin romeo, and my dad actually had raced for JONES since i was born, and im 11, he has raced the dragster, and the nova jones sold this year, im really close with bob, ive know him for as long as i can remember. I drive a jr. dragster at KEYSTONE RACEWAY PARK, and won 1st place. Keep up the good videos!! Love watching them!!
Great video Tom. I like the way you think. I can tell you that I never would have gotten it together without being able to control the coolant temp in my humble Falcon. That alone is what made the difference in getting to the ST finals in '19. This year I've added an even more accurate and broadly swept temp gauge. Also I'm thinking of adding a trans temp gauge and a remote small fan for the cooler. That Jones pump may be a bit of overkill for me but I'll bet it gives you a big advantage at running deadnuts on your dial in the finals. This kind of stuff does make a difference.
exactly.. and honestly when it's final round time I don't want to worry about temps so much. I would like to focus on my game and not as much the car if that makes sense. So the Jones pump just helps take one concern out of the equation 👍
I have a question on the Jones transmission cooler when the pump is activated and it's pushing fluid through the block is it just cooling the oil in the pan or is it pushing the oil back through the out port side of the transmission to push the oil through the converter and back into the pan so it's cooling the whole transmission. Thanks for your help Can you explain how the aluminum block works
Not gonna lie, I was seeing black chassis with silver transmission and wondering what the heck was going on lol. Also, you talk me into buying a lot of stuff lol. Feel like I need this now 🤷♂️
Great video Tom! I have a few questions. 1. Do you use the pump when making a run? 2. Will the pump move fluid when in the pits and the car isn't running? 3. If you don't use the pump when making a run will it still pass fluid through it? Thanks !! Scott O
Scott O hey scott! You do not run the pump when the car is running. That’s what the relay is for, it doesn’t allow the pump to run if the ignition is on. It’s designed to only be able to pump fluid in the pits when the ignition is off.
And for question there, my understanding is that no fluid passes the pump when the car is running. That’s what the distribution block does I think. When the car is running the transmission and transmission cooler work as if they are pumped together “normal”. When the pump is turned on it moves a valve inside the block and pumps the fluid them through your cooler 👍👍
I put a pump on my car last year. In my research talking with my trans guy I was told there is a shuttle valve in the valve body that will not let that pump circulate thru the converter unless there is modification done internally. If you go on FTIs TH-cam page they have a video explaining that modification. You are just circulating what’s in the pan and cooler sorry to tell you.
Greg Leonard to my understanding the block is what let’s the fluid flow through the cooler as if it were plumbed “normally” to the transmission when the car is running (and pump is off and cannot be turned in). When ignition is off and the pump is turned on it moves a valve inside the block and pumps the fluid through the cooler. I’m pretty sure that’s how it all works.
Hey buddy hru doing and feeling I hope well I know this is an old video but I'm just getting to it LOL. But I was wondering when do you activate the Jones Transmission Pump and do you let it circulate while your in the pits after your pass and how does that interfere with the Main Transmission Pump internally I'm just trying to figure out how this works buddy 👍🏽👍🏽

Keep up the good videos!! Love watching them!!
That 9:00 wiring job that you did on it looks amazing. Super clean and organized.
Boy I hope there is a racing season to be had 🤜🤛 nice piece
Awesome piece! Maybe one day when I start going deep into rounds I can pick one up! 😂
Chris Mahoney hahaha. Nice 🤘
Maybe if you pick one up you will start going deep into rounds!
Update us on the performance of the pump when you start racing.
Car is looking Good! Think you should get your pops a nice Rigid Drill set for his B-Day!!!
hahaha!! great then he will have ANOTHER different battery again... 🤦🏻♂️

Awesome video Tom. I’ve been looking at the Jones pump it looks like a killer piece. The wiring job is really coming together. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks man! Glad you liked the video. Now you can go grab yourself a jones pump for 5% off.. maybe it was worth the wait?? 🤷🏻♂️
I have a question on the Jones transmission cooler when the pump is activated and it's pushing fluid through the block is it just cooling the oil in the pan or is it pushing the oil back through the out port side of the transmission to push the oil through the converter and back into the pan so it's cooling the whole transmission.
Thanks for your help
Can you explain how the aluminum block works
Was your pump loud? How long does it take to cool and from what temp? What cooler are you using? Love the videos from you thanks for all the help.
Not gonna lie, I was seeing black chassis with silver transmission and wondering what the heck was going on lol. Also, you talk me into buying a lot of stuff lol. Feel like I need this now 🤷♂️
Jerry. You do. And you should probably go get one for 5% off. Just sayin' 😁
Love the videos keep up the great work
Thanks Mike!

@@GallStarTV Thanks Tom!! I understand now!!
@@GallStarTV Tom is 100% correct with the above statement!
Do you use a transmission thermostat too, to control transmission temperature? Thanks!

If you go on FTIs TH-cam page they have a video explaining that modification.
You are just circulating what’s in the pan and cooler sorry to tell you.
You're right Jim. I didn't have the correct understanding when I made the video. I've been called out on this a couple times now 😬
GallStar TV You can still modify it later. Something is better than nothing
Jim Oliver sounds like another video 🤘😁
So is there anyway to make the fluid also ran through my converter wile cooling in the pits Without starting the engine
@@daviddemarest2724 Check FTi and ATI they make systems. My trans guy did mine. His own design
What’s unique about the distribution block? Is it just a 1 in 2 out or something special inside?
Greg Leonard to my understanding the block is what let’s the fluid flow through the cooler as if it were plumbed “normally” to the transmission when the car is running (and pump is off and cannot be turned in).

Hey Tom, I'm installing the Jones system and was wondering what cooler/fan/mount you're using?
I like this idea, but I did it over 20 years ago.
Nice review and install! Which site do I enter the discount code?
Give Bob a ring at 724-344-1156 or Brandon at 724-413-4383 and mention the code! They will give you the 5% off your order! 👍
What is the GPH on that setup? And is there a method to increase or decrease the amount of cooling? thanks!
I would like more info on this pump I know gary stinett uses it and having a dragster built you can send me a message
DO IT FOR MR MCKINNEY!
