CJ is such a great presenter/teacher. Talks at just the right speed, doesn’t talk too much, doesn’t try to show off with big words. He just gives you the information, plain and simple. Very few people on TH-cam do this well.
I agreed with you till, big words. If you get sore over big words that makes a lot of people that have to dumb down there vocabulary to present there spoken word down to 8th grade compression.
I cant believe how much the quality of your videos has changed since you started youtube. Brother, keep it up! You have an awesome channel with great content. And you have ONE HELL of a crew at your shop.
Before this build started my technical knowledge of drag cars and classes was minimal but this kind of content is really cool and fun to learn from. Wish we had more of these cars in europe 🙂 Thanks CJ
@@Yosser70 The doorslammer class is fairly similar but with big tires instead of the radials. The closest I can think of would be ugly sister but that's a street legal car.
When it comes to Cleetus there is no explaining go watch his channel and you will understand the hype behind this build! One of the most consistent, creative, biggest car channels out there. That's why all these videos that have anything to do with eagle are getting around 200,000 plus views. I'm glad it's helping CJRC out too with his channel and making hime money with views and merch. Helping grow his channel because he has amazing content.
I love the vibe of your videos. Not too goofy, no over the top thankfulness or merch drops. Just good content from good folks. Came here because of cleetus and you've quickly taken that #1 spot for my garage tv. Well fkn done boys
Also would absolutely love some more in depth play by play of the tubing bending and associated math if any. As a fellow tubing guy in a totally different industrial application, those are the sought-after tricks of the trade I would love to see how you do. I'm sure other dudes feel the same way about stuff they have knowledge about. It's understandable to not give out the secrets though haha
Fabrication work is definitely one of those jobs that people cannot understand how much effort it takes if theyve never been exposed to it. I used to make sheetmetal intakes and exhaust headers. Headers are a complete pita but i love making them.
@@jmanlinc absolutely. Theres a reason the best fabricators can pretty much charge whatever they want. Im still wanting to learn how to do lead work too.
Your such a natural for youtube. You seem so comfortable talking to the camera"the viewer's" it really awesome that your making a go at the TH-cam thing. Never thought I would be into your content but I'm just as excited to watch this as I am one cleets videos. Keep up that good work. Great job to you and the rest of the crew!👍
The work y'all do is top notch at every corner, I appreciate the lengths gone for maximum performance, quality, safety, and cleanliness. You and @stevemorrisengines great to listen to
I've been waiting for this video since the last one. I'm fully fully invested in not just this build but your channel! You've came a very long ways in just a couple months! This channel is gonna grow fast!!! ✊️
This channel definitely stands out among the other guys channels, the precision and craftsmanship done is far above bar. Keep smashing it Cam, i know there is another build after this one, and then another and on and on, i'm here for the long haul.
Eagle is closer to a NPK rules car than a pro mod and it’s not even close. Can’t comment how fast it’ll go because tire would dictate that. I’d assume after testing on a 315 (which I think the car will be in the majority of the time?) he’ll be well inside the 3’s and 5’s.
A similar radial tire car though lighter since it had a fiberglass or carbon body just did a 5.4 in testing at Bradenton and that was letting off at 1000ft
Glad this is being recorded and posted publicly. A great teacher needs an audience. A lot of great machines will come from this guy in shops around the world.
Yet another super educational video mate 👍🏻 Would love to hear a more in-depth explanation on how suspension works in a drag car, maybe on the other channel.
Your production is amazing! Your camera work and editing are better than anyone else on youtube. Ive noticed this in multiple videos great job yall great job.
Here's a question I've never heard asked or answered: with the crazy speeds high end drag cars can reach, sone level of downforce is obviously important, so why don't I ever see anyone running diffusers or any under floor aero? I'm assuming its due to class rules, cost, or it would just be too much downforce and interfere with suspension separation.
diffusers aren't for straight line drag racing that's why you see things like F1 cars use them plus with a car making 2,000 or more horsepower wheelies become a thing and you'll end up shredding both the track and the diffuser at the same time so really they're utterly pointless unless you're going for proper circuit racing
Underbody aero like venturi tunnels and diffusers at 200+ mph is extremely potent, to the point that it'd be extremely difficult to develop a suspension system that can provide the right mechanical grip at 0-100mph to launch and prevent wheelspin and be able handle 1.5-3x bodyweight worth of downforce at 200-250mph without bottoming out and stalling the diffusers which would be incredibly dangerous. Not to mention wheelies
@@kijja Yeah, that's kinda where my head was at. Someone could probably come with a design that would work, but it'd likely be more costly than its worth.
My guess is it’s just money to get them to work it would take a lot of wind tunnel and computer modelling F1 teams have whole teams of designers siting behind computers If an f1 team designed a drag car it would be 50% lighter have 100% more power and be a lot more aero But cost 100million That’s why drag racing is the best everyone can afford it at some level
Man i would love to work for cameron definitely can learn a whole lot from him an the team hes built, a good patient teacher and can explain in simple terms whats going on as well as very technical and detailed honestly living the dream lol i ever move to tampa im dropping a resume off 😂😂
Definitely the best craftsmanship in the business bar none you maybe able to get a new car faster from other builders but they don't even come close in performance looks and quality. Keep up the great work cjrc
Thank you for explaining the difference between the two in a way that makes sense to the guys like me that know a little but don't know as much as we think we do I am really enjoying your channel Andy from Australia
Definitely needs two operable doors in the event he puts the car up against the drivers side rail. Can’t put a funny car roof exit (other safety option) in the car without totally re doing the roof bars.
Awesome information on the differences between the 2 styles of car. I would've thought the Promod would be more expensive too, but the way you explained it makes perfect sense.
Ive been subbed since you were making Justins car, so from the start ive been here and glad to see all the growth eagle and the other cars are bringing you! Hell yeah brother.
Great information as always looking forward to Eagle with Cleet at the wheel, this things going to be insane. NOTE for the editor, his Mic was really hot in this one may want to look at the levels. Not complaining just trying to be helpful. I'm really looking forward to seeing Eagle finished as well as your car Seagull. Take care and God Bless...
So I've thought about making a p*cker extender, but my truck has 7" of front travel. But beings it's a arm truck do I measure from the shock mount or the front a arm mount? Also how would u go about a extender if there is that much travel? I'm probably shooting blanks in the sky but just overall curious.
So freaking cool to see my car turned into a pro mod. The GT86 body is by far my favorite non-supercar body. Finally got one about 6 months ago and couldn't be happier.
This is probably the best video you have done so far, but 1 question i would like to know the answer too. You have the headers almost parallel to engine with the turbo down low which is fine for keeping the weight lower down given its size but why do the headers almost have a right angle into the turbo??? Surely that isn't great for the exhaust flow into the turbo.
Can't wait for the fab video of putting the funny car body on Leroy. I have an idea about how you're going to incorporate the door(s) but prob gonna be way off, lol. Loving the body fab stuff. Other channels just talk about body fab. You guys share in the process. Thank you. Keep it up!!
This has been a awesome channel I found over Cleetus. I heard of CJ because I was very heavily in the Florida Grudge racing game switched over to the x275 radial class but only raced the Florida and Georgia lights out races. Scotty G racing Engines is the person that told me about CJ and Matt from Profab. I since moved back to Maryland and race the events here where I just raced up against Garrett ,Mr Cleetus McFarland Racing. And tried many times to race Jack stand Jimmy at Sunshine Dragway when he was just a kid racing the black Box Nova and I'm sure he would have out a beating on us back then. But especially now I'm sure he would.
Would love a video on how to plan a car out. Probably to many variables but maybe pick a popular set up and do a quick walkthrough on the though process! You guys are awesome! 🎉
loving the content and the build quality, question though, the end ledge of the wing is referred to as the wicker, though I know it from other racing series as a gurney flap, is it the same with just different names?
How do the “ice pack” style innercoolers work vs the pump circulating ice water? I don’t really want to swap to m1 but I think that style innercooler would drop some pounds
For some reason, billet 2JZ's have slowly entranced me into conceptualizing ways in which to get involved into the industry while also obtaining my own methods of producing one (CNC/machining/wielding?) It would seem like a good place to start within that world...
So what do you call something like Geoff Lutz's car that is steel bodied but stretched in the front? He has moved the back wheels forward to try keep the wheelbase down, but it is a lot longer in the front end. It seems to be a cross between the two.
That carbon fiber pecker extender looks really nice but I’m curious if it’s strong enough without a frame to not snap in the event the car gets a bit sideways on the big end. A 250 mph wind pushing laterally on that thing will exert a LOT of lateral force.
What is the suspension difference between big and small tyre? I understand small tyre suspension pushes the tyre into the ground more but why can’t you do that with a big tyre? Not enough room to do same suspension or it’s just to aggressive of a tyre to let the suspension work?
Here's a copy of my post to another commenter. This was specifically about wheelie bars but the reasons are the same. Basically, radial and bias ply tires work completely differently. Wheelie bars are basically useless on a radial tire car. Radials make maximum grip at pretty low slip percentages, like 5 to 7 percent. Meaning the tire would be spinning 5-7 percent faster than the car is moving for max acceleration and anything over that, grip falls off fast and dramatically. So the moment a radial tire car hits the wheely bar, it unloads the tire and instantly blows the tire off the car. Bias ply works quite differently. For one, max grip is at a higher slip percentage, like 11-12 percent if my memory is right but more importantly when the tire exceeds that slip percentage, grip falls off but much, much less and more slowly than a radial. So when a bias ply car gets on the bar, it also unloads the tire and loses a bit of grip but much less so so it still accelerates hard. In fact if the track is sticky enough and available power is low enough, it might not be able to get to its max slip percentage until the car gets on the bar and lets it slip a little more at which point you will actually accelerate more. You can see this by watching old Nascar footage from before radials. The cars would often be going through the corner a little sideways even at daytona, smoking the right rear. This is because the bias ply is making more grip at higher slip angles and if you get it wrong and go too far, it still grips and doesn't spin out on you. Radials don't play like that. You get too sideways and they lose almost all grip. The plus side to it is radials have less rolling resistance (go faster) and they can make more grip at lower slip angles. So the key to going fast on radials is to get the car to hook without lifting the nose and not going over that ideal slip percentage. Bias ply is so much more forgiving, just throw a bar on it and let it slip. But it will also need more HP to go 250 mph than a radial car will. It's like trying to drag a big wing or small parachute down the track
Chase that dream, kid! Only you can make it happen. Do not pay any attention to anyone who says otherwise. Watch as many videos as possible about it, and all the ones this team puts out. Put in the time and hard work. It will be tough, but keep that motivation, stay in school, and you will prosper buddy. God bless. 🙏🏽
So, are you saying that since the Scion doesn't make the same power as Eagle and it has more titanium that chrome molly is stronger? What is the cost difference between carbon fiber and fiber glass? 16:05 What about instead of closing the tag hole off completely, you install an LED sign that says EAGLE. It could even cycle through Red, White and Blue lights.
How fast do you think Eagle will go on a radial 🤔?
3.62 221
It has the capability of running 3.60s in the 1/8th
He’s got to run 5.5 to be competitive at WCF…..
1/4 mile at world cup, 6.01 at 240 just to torture him.

Put in the time and hard work. It will be tough, but keep that motivation, stay in school, and you will prosper buddy. God bless. 🙏🏽
Great video! You are doing a great job of sharing your absolute wealth of knowledge. Keep em coming!
More golf cart videos!!!!
Golf cart should be done in a few weeks 😎
are the front fender wells staggered 2 inches from side to side as well? or is one wheel more forward in the hole?
Not yet but we will move them so wheels are centered.
As a fan of racing this was a pretty cool video thanks
So, are you saying that since the Scion doesn't make the same power as Eagle and it has more titanium that chrome molly is stronger?
What is the cost difference between carbon fiber and fiber glass?
16:05 What about instead of closing the tag hole off completely, you install an LED sign that says EAGLE. It could even cycle through Red, White and Blue lights.
Dude these videos are so badass. I wish I would have found his channel sooner.
So sick! Some people just have no clue how much a car build costs lol
I will say, this is the best or top 3 videos bro!
Awesome build. Will you show or share pictures of the headers??
Tuesdays video will have headers they came out really good definitely happy with them.
Rock on...! Thanks for sharing... Keep up your awesomeness...!!!
Is the Eagle designed to be a drag and drive car? Or is going to be a race only car? Thanks!
it's a track car only. the engine doesn't have water jackets for cooling
Thanks!!
Very informative - thanks for the comparison.
Aww man I see the go kart back there for golf cart I mean you're gonna have to give us an update on that now
You said it has a staggerd wheelbase? Ive never heard of that. Has that been a drag racing thing for awhile? And what is the benefit?
