In this adrenaline-fueled episode from the Cleetus McFarland channel, the team embarks on a mission to unleash the full potential of Leroy, their beloved Corvette. Armed with a brand new motor built by the legendary Pete Harrell himself, they are determined to conquer the drag strip and achieve the coveted six-second mark. The LSX blocks and Mast heads in the engine promise unparalleled power, while the de-stroking and upgraded rods and pistons aim to push the RPM limits to new heights.
With Leroy strapped onto the dyno, the team gradually increases the boost, eagerly awaiting the moment when the beast will roar to life. As the numbers climb, so does the anticipation. But it's not just about raw power; the team must also fine-tune the clutch to ensure that Leroy can handle the immense force being unleashed. Amidst the excitement, the paint scheme on the engine catches the eye, adding an extra dose of horsepower, or so they believe.
Finally, the moment arrives. Leroy takes to the track, leaving a trail of burning rubber in its wake. The first pass is a triumph, with Leroy delivering a solid time and proving that the new engine is a force to be reckoned with. But the team is not satisfied; they want more. They make adjustments, tweak the clutch, and fine-tune the engine to perfection. Leroy takes to the track once again, and this time, it's a symphony of power and precision. The wheelies are tamed, the speed is unleashed, and Leroy conquers the quarter-mile with finesse.
However, the team's quest doesn't end there. They turn their attention to the Blazer, another formidable machine in their arsenal. With FL2K on the horizon, they need to slow it down for the 9.50 class. The team works tirelessly, making adjustments, pulling timing, and reducing boost, all in an effort to find the perfect balance between speed and control. The Blazer takes to the track, and although it still exhibits a penchant for wheelies, the team remains undeterred. They continue to fine-tune, pushing the boundaries of performance in their relentless pursuit of victory.
