What an amazing car and effort. So cool that you keep the car looking as stock as possible and get it to go THAT fast. The trim rings flying off was priceless.
Finally watching the beautiful 69 vette on the track! Great start guys, no doubt this baby will break the 8's any time soon, can't wait to see that, and the SOUND with those good flowing side pipes man!!! Great Job guys! Hope to keep watching videos like this
Back in the 70s even in Pure Stock you weren't allowed to run your hub caps or trim rings. I would think they wouldn't be allowed in FAST? Nice running Vette!
Looking good Jordan. Have you considered adding a few pounds way up front on the nose so you can keep more power in it on the hit while keeping the nose down? Obviously the long term solution would be revalving the front struts/shocks. The cars short wheelbase and stock suspension definitely makes for a challenge at your power level!
Oh ya...8 second car all day long for sure...after not too much work...and thanks for reminding me to get an extra wheel bearing to carry on board for my trailer!
Pro stock is my favorite, you guys are my second favorite cars to watch. So much respect... What is going on with the blue Mustang coupe in the background at your shop?
Yes we did. Factory side pipes are what kills hp. I built the side pipes we put on the car, they flow much better than the factory design which is garbage.
can you feel the power surge when the timing advance comes 2 seconds into the run? imagine running modern electronic shocks you could program to adjust for track conditions.
Great car super quick. Seriously though I think you should look into taking a babysitter with you to do the things smart people do. Trim rings on, no spare, ignition left on, wheels falling off the trailer.
Kinda new & subscribed. May I ask if this is the only series with muscle car racing ? Crazy fast but if you can floor it & keep it in the groove anyone can do it. Probably why the Top Fuel , funny cars etc... drivers make so much money cause they are driving & feathering the acceleration if needed instead of computer timing a run ya know , so is there a drivers league like it use to be ?
Omgg, you are killin it.. looks like 8:70s is comin..you think they will change up rules if you hit 8sec? If you want to sell the trans am let me know.. im in illinois.. thx dan
Why does this video say L-88 ? I had what you might call a mock facsimile of an L-88 back in 1969, that basically was built with L-88 internal guts, that was transplanted into a 67 Chevelle and a 4:88 rear end . And it was fast enough for what it was back then, for the mid to high 11s, but there’s old dragstrip records from back then, of L-88s & ZL-1s that were in the low 10s in the qtr. But he never mentioned anything about what that engine actually was, and what they had done to it. And I don’t know what could be done to a legitimate L-88, back in 1969 anyway, other than a super charger, or a blower that would bring the horsepower up to 750, without risking damaging it ?
We’ve done that test. Actually did a video on it a while back. They do and they cause a big power loss when using the factory style exhaust. I built this set of side pipes myself and they flow very well.
Perhaps a dumb question, but being a totally stock appearing car, is there a point where the acceleration and MPH start affecting the car's ability to keep the front end from lifting too much while going down the track.
The parachute alters the stock look but what can you do? It's a needed safety item since you'll be going 150 soon. Nobody wants to see you guys get hurt or killed and I for one do not want to see F.A.S.T. turned into an 1/8th mile or 1,000 foot event just to eliminate parachutes. Would it be possible to weld some nuts to the wheels so you can put some screws through the trim rings? A couple of screw heads might not look completely stock but it would look closer than no trim rings at all.
Is your engine a 427 thats bored and stroked or is it a new block with all new parts? Just curious- i just started getting into the FAST series because its amazing how fast these stock looking cars go - congrats on making that vette into a rocket ship !
@@HorsepowerDepot I was looking at that rear setup and hit pause. I have a 72 C3 that will need a cage. We are building the frame now. Darin Morgan did the heads. Reher Morrison built the motor. It’s a pump gas injected 454. 600hp at 6100. Would you be interested?
I like , after the wheelie Dad is like you drive it now.🤣
You know I'm a Mopar guy, but that big block Chevy is flying. Good luck on your season.
Thank you!
I'm really liking the new videos every couple days. This is what I come to the channel for, learning the secrets of the FAST class cars
Trying to make up for the lack of videos this winter!
These are my favorite videos on TH-cam. Always look forward to seeing you guys run those beautiful cars hard!

Damn, that motor sounds so freakin’ badass ! Nice build - awesome performance !
Hy from Puerto Rico. 😮😮😮😮 wow. So fast. Chevy for ever.
Your rear deck is flexing quite a bit at the top end. Never expected that.
WWWWOOOOOWWWWWWW! Great job!!! Can hardly wait for the 67.
Love the Fast Racing Series. The vette are a great choice for racing. 67 is my fav…❤ what your family does working and playing together.
wow, I couldn't believe the wheelie... yeah you are going to need bars so that veto will really fly. I can't wait, Thanks.
Man, you guys really make the horsepower happen!
First view,
First 👍..
9:1 ..crazy ..
I see 8.9 coming next .
Like # 41 !!! Holy SMOKES!! what a launch! Yeah, the 67 will be a treat to see going down the track.
I can’t wait to get the 67 done and on the track!
Back in the 70s even in Pure Stock you weren't allowed to run your hub caps or trim rings. I would think they wouldn't be allowed in FAST? Nice running Vette!
HO-LY SHIT!!! How are you guys getting the rear end to live through 750hp??? This car is bananas!!! Unbelievable....
Id like them to do a video on it, that'd be awesome!
This is a motor design that powered cars of the Can-Am series of the 1970's. The most powerful cars in road racing history.
Ho Lee Mo Lee! 917 is smokin. I gotta come by next week for sure.
Know it is not allowed in this Class Love to see it with Open Headers and Full Out Slicks. Car is making Tons of Power Love it!
Definitely going in the 8’s!!!!!
You guys are awesome....
Beautiful Vette. I grew up in vettes my moms daily was a 1993 zr1 for years. I love the mako vettes the best though.

We will hang some weight on it if we need, but already working front shocks for it!
@@HorsepowerDepot Menscers?
That Was impressive Best of luck in your future races just saying
I'm not a Chevy, or a Corvette fan at all, but I love that car!!!!
Oh ya...8 second car all day long for sure...after not too much work...and thanks for reminding me to get an extra wheel bearing to carry on board for my trailer!
Gotta keep the trailer maintained! Something we probably all overlook. Always too worried about the car.
Pro stock is my favorite, you guys are my second favorite cars to watch. So much respect... What is going on with the blue Mustang coupe in the background at your shop?
Damn that’s a bad b___h! Great job guys!
Awesome! Just Awesome
Your dad is crammed in that thing, I hope he doesn't end up on the roof because he will be an Eraserhead
Thank You for the video
Damn, even had to pedal it!
14:40 loose bolt above the battery disconnect.
Jordan I thought you talked about side pipes robbing about 40 HP, please clarify when you get a a chance....thanks! Great video!
Yes we did. Factory side pipes are what kills hp. I built the side pipes we put on the car, they flow much better than the factory design which is garbage.

It’s got cheap out of the box shocks on it. They’re just not good enough. You can feel it bring power in.
wow that thing hooks good
Awesome!
Was that 60' on the wheelie run on the back tire maybe?
I was thinking the same thing...its too hard to tell if the 1.41 was measured off the front or rear tire due to camera angle,,,
Great car super quick. Seriously though I think you should look into taking a babysitter with you to do the things smart people do. Trim rings on, no spare, ignition left on, wheels falling off the trailer.
If the babysitter can weld, knows their way around a tool box, and can work 18+ hour days, send them over!
@@HorsepowerDepot 😂
@@HorsepowerDepot And looks good in short shorts.....🤣
Absolutely killer! Cant wait for the race season to get into high gear. Will you be at the St. Louis NMCA/NMRA?
No, nmca only has us at 131, Norwalk, and Indy.
Only going toget faster👍
Nice your gonna have to cut a hole in the floor so you can see where the heck your going. Car looks. N runs like a bat out of hell. Great job guys

“Stock looking” 😂 Corvettes came right out of the factory with a parachute… 🤷♂️😂😂😂
I hope next t shirt you will print with Vettes Wheely❤
It might! 67 doing a wheelie would be a cool T-shirt!
Awesome passes!
that C 3 is the sh#%t
Bogart Wheels makes beadlock rally’s
You should use the parachute like is on the s2000. It’s a smaller boy
Lol I thought that exact thing!
Next time the wheels come up just go in the second gear immediately or straight into high gear
Wheelie bars needed i heard the stingray side pipes actually caused power loss
We’ve done that test. Actually did a video on it a while back. They do and they cause a big power loss when using the factory style exhaust. I built this set of side pipes myself and they flow very well.
@Horsepower Depot can you get into the details of the new exhaust? Id like to keep my side pipes but the muffler choices suck
Perhaps a dumb question, but being a totally stock appearing car, is there a point where the acceleration and MPH start affecting the car's ability to keep the front end from lifting too much while going down the track.
We’re not going fast enough for that to happen. That’s a 200mph in the 1/8th car problem. We’re going 118-120 in the 1/8th.
wow!
What rear end is in the Corvette. Housing and center section?
This car has a factory irs, 12 bolt spool inside the factory differential.
@@HorsepowerDepot Looks like a 6 link
Dude s*** happens sometimes that's crazy though
Damn. You must have nitrous hidden in the lifter valley. Just kidding.

I’m thinking something like that to bolt the trim rings on. But for now we will just run without them.
@@HorsepowerDepot You could always use silicone calk to hold them in place like some car dealers used to do when the clips were broken off. ;+)
@@HorsepowerDepot 👍

You got a loose bolt on that rear bumper bracket.
