Them coyotes loves to perform up high
Very cool Evan. I love all the younger generation Ford guys who grew up watching their parents and grandparents running them. Tasca and Holbrook are iconic names in the sport and the fact these guys are keeping Ford relevant warms this old man's heart.
Thanks. This was a great video and I wish Chris all the best in his endeavors.

Chis is peak Ford Man !!
This is going to be a fun class to watch! Go FORD!!!
Coyote has been king for boost. It’s great to see it shining like usual.
The termi walked so the coyote could RUN
if you raced Fords in Michigan you know the Holbrook and the Detrick families. super cool that he has the Instant Action Cobra Jet on the rear quarters paying homage to his Dad the Legendary Carl Holbrook. Chris was also a IHRA prostock champion👍 gotta love them Liberty Equalizer 5 spds, made in Michigan baby!!!
Always on the side of the "BLUE OVAL"...Best of luck to Chris Holbrook's Family/Crew continued success in the class. Thanks Evan for the work that you do bringing the Blue Oval Fans these great videos with detailed information.
Elephant Ears and Base Plate is the same technology we used 43 years ago at Atco. Goodness Gracious those Coyotes love high revs. I would love to see the bearings after the tear down and do a tensile strength on the main studs and head bolts. Technology except for existing premises have really changed. Great Video Evan Good Hunting Chris Thank You 🙏
Brent lesala has a green drag and drive coyote powered mustang that runs low, like in the teens 6s in the quarter on a 275 or 315 radial. Theres a complete teardown video of the race winning engine on youtube and shows just how much (how little really) is done to the block and heads to survive shifting at 10k rpm and still being driven 1000s of miles pulling a trailer

@@damianlindsey6177Snot Rocket 2.0. Creeping up on 3,000 Hp. I love watching that car.

The X-Class S650 Mustang was mentioned when Jim Farley and his performance team announced the Holly Factory X-Class manual transmission Mustang Cobra Jet replacement during the introduction of the new S650 Mustangs at the International Auto Show. Great seeing Chris Holbrook fielding the first X-Class S650 Mustang and thanks to REVan Evans for showing this high revving 200 mph Stang
Varsity ford to the front!!
Great to see ford helping grass roots racers, it takes a lot of other manufactures also
That car is so freakin awesome!!!
Love the transmission setup!!!
What a cool class. Hope it takes off.
I've had to re adjust my project budget because of the 5.2
But i feel it's totally gonna be worth it
Such a killer ride
Thanks Evan!!!
I gave up on Pro Stock several decades ago when they essentially became Funny Cars with NA engines. Factory X is a move in the right direction. I only wish the rules dictated that the teams started with a body-in-white. It's essential that the ultimate doorslammer class have as stock a body as possible (I realize that BOP is a difficult target).
Originally I thought the same thing but this design is pretty cool.
Nhra prostock became a Chevy show
Funny cars don’t have suspension!!
But I agree with the sentiment.
Another Gentleman racer,awesome how good the modern cars are and how they are like the classics too.
Love the fords going fast.
As usual, awesome interview Evan. So happy to see guys like you and Chris carrying on the Ford racing tradition and especially with Chris' and his family ties to his dad Carl. I was trying to decide who Chris reminds me of and it finally came to me - probably one of my favorite comedians of all time, the late, great John Candy.
Been a fan of Chris Holbrook in Stock, Super Stock and now in this class for years. Varsity Ford in Ann Arbor, MI is the best when it comes to supporting Sportsman NHRA Racing.
Great one Evan. Chris is such a friendly guy. and so freaking knowledgeable .
Great class racing. Small cube Fords still taking 'em to school. Revan and Chris are class acts👍
Factory X and Showdown are great classes and im glad prostock has replacements
Great video Chris this is real racing motor combinations and performance not that garbage on TV now keep the great videos coming😊
He said 11 thousand rpm's and didn't even bat an eye😲
Hold on to your rod bearings!😂
⛽️🔥🛞🌬🇺🇸💪👍
When Factory Stock started out, the Fords ruled until the NHRA changed the rules to help the Chevies and the Dodges. Now, in FX, it seems to be the same story of mostly Chevies winning. But I might be wrong and they are winning because there are Pro Stock teams in FX with more assets than the smaller Ford teams.
Great interview EV..You always ask all the right questions..big Holbrook fan since Dad’s “Instant Action” Cobra Jet days.
I am envious of the genious of Mr Holbrook. And this smart dude runs Ford
Really Nice Rig !!!!
But most important, what an impressive opening banner to this video! Bravo!
Nice interview. Chris is a great guy.
Good luck 24 Chris love your car looking forward to seeing you beating up the Chevy and dodge guys and girls Ford power forever baby a real Chevy and dodge killer l love it keep on bringing it
Such a beautiful car, it's an engineering work of art. I can't imagine what it would be like to ride in something that fast. Btw I remember the article on Captain Cobra Jet, I bought the magazine and read the article. I was 19 in 1975, so.... I graduated from high school in 1974 and was taking auto mechanics at my local community college. I was going through the 289 in my '65 Mustang and changing the cam about that time lol.
Awesome!
Not a Ford guy but Ford engineers out did themselves with the Coyote platform.. I know the legendary Holbrook name.. very cool car and I hope this class sticks around..
What a great car Evan. You’re always bringing us the best. It was awesome seeing how he was pulling past the Camero at the top end.
What’s the black lever on the tunnel, and behind the shifter? Is it a brake backup?
Secondary brake handle. He uses it to stage at times. And thank you.
So anxious for this class. Prefer it over Pro Stock. Glad to see it going back to manufacturer engines!
I own a HRE coyote and let me tell you, Chris is absolutely wonderful to work with. He ALWAYS answers my questions. Even if it’s to tell me to stop reading so much on the internet 😂 love those guys. Love the Detricks. Rip Clyde. Would be awesome if you interviewed the legendary Jimmy Detrick at Milan sometime. Hope to see you at Woodward and maybe I’ll have my gear driven Vortech coyote with me. Thanks for the video Evan! Keep up the hard work!
Holy interviews! Great questions!!
I hope the factory x class takes off I love the cars
Beautiful car!!
Has NHRA handicapped this class where the Fords have little chance to win?
Would like to see a chart of weight per cubic inch between makes
Thanks for thee video best of luck on this beautiful ride. Ford Power 😎
Show me a time when NHRA didn’t handicap the Mopar and Ford teams? They pushed the Hemi out of pro stock in the early 70’s and killed the small blocks because GM had no answer for the Cleveland by the early 80’s.
I know it’s supposed to “level the playing field”, and make a “good show” for the fans, but I really dislike this BOP garbage. In the IMSA GTD3 class, they’ve definitely cut the heart out of the Ford cars. Sooo frustrating.
@@bobuncle8704 BoP is complete BS, but it is the only way to keep the manufacturers in line. NHRA on the other hand has handicapped the “stock” classes so bad that Mopar and Ford have pulled out aside from this factory X class. NHRA has become a huge joke.
@@stevenbesson8988 I know what you're saying but it was impossible for the Chevrolet small-block to compete with the Cleveland, especially when Roush, Glidden, et al began machining off the exhaust side of the head and adding a raised port plate. I do miss the 80's Pro Stock battle between Glidden and RMS.
@@bobuncle8704 It seems as if the Mustang GT3 has an uphill battle against Porsche, BMW, Ferrari, etc. But that Coyote V8 does roar.
Awesome video! Amazing quality of engineering in that awesome Stang! Thanks Evan. Gonna check if there's a vid of you at Holbrook engines. ( I think there is.)
I'm All In! This is my new favorite drag racing Class⁉
Thanks again Evan. You asked all the pertanet questions. I am curious though, what engine mods are allowable. I hope the success of the cars doesn't come from the engine builders. With the sophistication of the modern factory powerplants, It would be an even playing field if modifications were minimal. Thanks again Evan, this class has a lot of potential for fan enthusiasm for all the manufacturers, like the good old days of Pro Stock.
Awesome Ford
That's so cool.
Interesting video right up to the last second.
Great looking car. Best of luck this season
Great questions and answers!
That's one bad coyote....continue with the great work 💯
Awesome car the Coyotes loves the manual transmissions
Looking forward to this class! So happy that they’re running five speed transmissions!
so when you heat up your 02 sensors the engine goes into closed loop the minute you start it? correct? thats very cool!
Evan, awesome video. Love the in-depth Q&A, I learned a lot about the class. I of course hope you will also cover one of the Camaros. :)
Thank you
Love these videos vert informative what really goes on behind the sceens
Nice ford pro street man.see u got alot tech involved. Outstanding. I got 92lx with blown boss 351w block to 460 and 2 speed powerglide and launch break. And 8.8 33 spline 4 lugger thugger axles getting ready put 513.s in rear then big ass pro charger. Lol.yeeeeee haaaawww
Chris is really cool
A supercharger 2 step is beautifully unique.
Can I get a HELL YEAH!!!
The Bow Tie Brigade will claim; "Yeah, but our Chevy cost $20,000 less than a Ford."
Chevy guys will literally argue about anything to justify why their cute little bowties can be superior in anyway when in actuality they're really not
Great video! Awesome car.
Great video. Super nice guy.
Let's keep in mind 10200 rpm is only 800 rpm more than Yates was getting in Nascar back in the 92...
In other words they decide which manufacturer they want to win and then adjust the pulley size accordingly
Very nice. What a weapon.
That race was was typical LS vs Coyote... LS pulls out then Coyote drives around on the big end!!!
This class is great as the cars look like the street counterpart. Also a Ford with a Ford, etc., instead of ProStock's lumpy body and Chebbie motor (even in a Mustang).
Great video Evan
Thank you
Chris is the cool guy I want to hang out and shoot the breeze with , awesome car
I hope NHRA decides to let the cars race and not try and help GM like they did in ProStock and Factory Stock.
Big facts
When Allen Johnson ( pro stock Champion ) is a tenth off with the new rules " Go Buy a DRE" When GM was getting beat bad in Factory stock " we have to change the rules after every race so Chevy can win"
Well it looks stock but they're not using factory ECU. That's the big difference. I think you can push coyote 2000 plus no problem. Don't need no special sauce for that. Yeah I think when you said steel roof steel body I think there's a lot of lightning that happened on this because 1500 horsepower I don't think will push a factory car to those speeds. Factory weight is around 3800
Awesome! Lets hope NHRA dumps Pro Stock Oops...I mean Pro Camaro and runs this class. This is how it should be.
"So Chris..., what do you do after an interview?"
Wins in this class will sell cars for manufacturers.
State of the art..👍🏼👍🏼🇺🇸👍🏼👍🏼..!!
Id like to know the crew chiefs secret to making that blower belt hang on at 10k RPMs! 🤣👏👏👏🇺🇲💪
I'd think deeper grooves is part of it
The other part probably is custom tensioner not made out of whatever the factory made it from and belt length.
@@KingJT80 They definetly have to have something different. Seems like you always hear about someone shreading or atleast tossing a belt when revved that high. All most makes me think thats also why they launch at such lower RPMs, not because of tire size or traction but because the belt wouldnt make it on the chip at 7000RPM. The amount of knowledge thats in the racing community nowdays is insane!
What a RIPPER !!
1500 HP with only 13 lbs of Boost 🤯
Murica F'Yeah 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
Yyyyeah!!
That aint cheap.
I noticed I’m getting unsubscribed more often on your channel… really good content on this channel and ol school reader from muscle mustangs fast ford magazine days.
Not sure why, I don’t unsubscribe or block anyone unless they are abusive in the comments. And that is very rare thankfully. I appreciate you watching.
Perhaps it’s a TH-cam or Google issue.
@@revanevan ya im looking into that right now
Holbrook.. Wonder if we are related.
Hey Evan, how come I don't see any Ford's in NHRA Pro Stock? I see them in other sanctions. Man we need the blue oval dominating Pro Stock! Thank you for any insight. Love the channel!
Unfortunately the GM engine is so far advanced because so many teams run it that it would take a huge investment of time and money for a team to make the Ford competitive. It's simply time and money.
They used to call this class Pro Stock...
Thanks buddy,,very awesome stuff U RA USMC MOTOR T
Chris ,, get Butch out to help . Good times.
That’s one hell of a machine thank you Evan. Thank you Chris.
They need a 6L version all geometry being equal.
That poor whipple isn’t even getting started at 13#. Take the cuffs off nhra
What actuates the chute?
Why the hand brake lever?
What modern pro stock should have been
Question? Is that a null5 speed, or is that A? Sequential or a g force, because a real manual car is a clutch plus pedal plus gear shift
What OCTANE does that version of VP have? I ran 100 octane VP unleaded in the early 1990s.
I believe he said they use 116 octane.
Like supercharged superstock meets pro stock
👍🏁🏁👍
Everything is great when you add boooooost🤪🤪🤪🤪 ! Only direction to go is up . Blown you pick 🙈
Just like any racing ford will dominate then they will change the rules add weight to slow them down just like the days of the 351 Cleveland bob glidden
So ford made the chassis???
Chassis is built by Jerry Bickel Race Cars.
I don’t like the 33x10.5w tire I wish they had to run 28 10.5w or a 29 non w
Felicitaci9nes
aint no LS or hemi push rod junk turning or 11k rpm lol coyote should dominate this class
