Barra Swapped GT350 Hits Dyno - Big Power!

**A Look at the Bear's Performance**

This scaling might be a little bit different because I believe he's revving out over 7000 and it's reading under 7000 on this graph. Also, fun fact, it seems to be a bear thing if you look, we're already making more torque than horsepower. Wild, ah! It looks like someone overshot their boost a little bit. Oh my god, that's a little bit of a taste about what we can be expecting in the future.

Let's go make sure there's nothing uh blue freddy's got that little evilest grin there. Look at that little smile on his face. Scott if you're watching this, you must really know what you're doing because that is a big jump and the car sounded really happy up there. I'm gonna go check in to see how many pounds of boost it took to make 800 wheel and about 750 foot-pounds of torque.

**Freddy's Experience**

Freddie was in the car on the phone with scott while he was like remote on the computer. Freddie, how was that experience? It was a good one either what I was doing was correct and he complimented me or I did I was doing things completely wrong. He insulted me not in a bad way but Australians are very harsh personalities which is fun which is good because I you know I don't know what this is or what it likes or what it wants so but he was just on the other end, you're like oh only seven horsepower, uh 40 pounds that's sick. Super helpful we made our power goal and I think he's going to dial things in.

We made our power goal and I think he's going to dial things in. We do have a kind of little fancy thing that Freddy asked us to put in it's actually cool in pressure sensor so correct me if I'm wrong, Freddy but uh the logic mind is to catch if it starts lowering coolant pressure raise that poor pressure is raising oh that would mean that it's seeking into the coolant chambers okay yeah that makes way more sense of what I was about to explain. That's why I always say correct me if I'm wrong.

**The Next Steps**

We actually have to wrap this up pretty fast, Shulman's got to go because he's got to catch the next episode of Desperate Housewives so Freddy is hopping in the driver's seat and he's uh adding one more pound of boost. So uh Freddy's going back on teamviewer with scott from Australia they're gonna add one more pound to boost clean it up, it'll probably land somewhere in the nines but uh just a reminder until we get the trans tune dialed probably just gonna drive this thing around a gate try to get all the settings good and then we'll slowly up the boost on the street uh and see what the trans can handle.

I'm gonna let you guys in, in a secret I told Freddy and scott from Australia that I only wanted to go up a pound but I have a feeling they're gonna go up more. But the thing is because I only told them one pound it's not my responsibility I think they're going gonna try to make a thousand wheel which will be rad. We're all really nervous about the head lifting so we'll see.

**The Prediction**

My prediction of them going up more than one pound was most likely correct. I'm literally myself showing you, just keep popping, you're in the background we're all just having a conversation about how for like nearly a thousand wheel this car does not seem violent like it seems very civil on the dyno it looks like a very underwhelming 950 wheel. It's kind of wild, I think they're making it safe now.

**The Plan**

Basically what I'm trying to have them do now is play with pulling some boost out of the mid-range to lower the torque keep the power about the same in case we have traction issues so we know that we can just lower the boost in that mid-range down and let it uh make the most traction possible because torque is what's going to spin the wheels. And this is wild.

**The Next Step**

Oh so basically where we're leaving off, Freddy you nailed it big thank you to scott over at Haltech Australia for helping us through um definitely shed some insight on us for the bear world and uh this is just the beginning of this thing but where we're leaving off now uh the car Brad Browdy ready to go on the street we just got to dial in the trans tune stuff so I've talked with the guys over HDG and they want to do it on the street so we're going to turn this thing back down to spring pressure which was roughly like 500 wheel and then we're going to take that on the street set all the shifting points, the pressures, the transitions all that.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's up guys welcome to today's video as you can see by the title we are back in florida and we're going to be taking the bear to get tuned bright and early tomorrow morning with freddy he flew back the other day we flew back today me and mike are back here hey uh he's now do you feel like floyd's home for you yet or is it uh yeah it's growing on me it's growing on me weird i feel like the longer i'm here the less i like it but i'm grateful to be back i'm gonna give myself a little wrench time in today with this girl right here fun fact look with mike's ls on the left we had to like kind of straddle it between the two tires otherwise pulling in it actually would have hit his car and his is as high as it can go without hitting the garage door this is definitely the base car you've had on this lift i'm pretty sure i lifted my truck on the lift once but it was like it was only like two inches it was very sketchy i don't recommend it what this dude should we do a pull for him yeah dude i'm not gonna lie i kind of missed the corolla yeah dude it was just so fun because i could just rev limiter wherever i wanted like no one expected it like it was the ultimate sleeper this thing's just look he's filming us give him something dude it's like you know how marty mcfly felt when he takes the delorean back in time yeah i get that feeling every time i drive this car so today after i make this car really hot so it's miserable to work on i'm gonna finally pull the intake manifold and fix that stupid leak so that i don't have to keep filling up with water every time i drive it this is the the mess that i'm looking at now and i need to like pull the brake master out and then i can like pull a bunch of other stuff out and then almost get access to pull the plenum off usually we just end up pulling the engine but i'm going to try to do it without pulling the engine i will tell you though some good news i know we hyped this up before but it never really actually came to fruition mike officially has his brand new red so give me give me the quick rundown for anyone that doesn't know what this is in your hands okay so this camera is not technically released yet this is the new red komodo 6k 6k bro 6k resolution it's pretty crazy um dude you realize we uploaded in 1080 right i realized that i'm working around that anyways this is an extremely small body for a red camera um it's also one of the first red cameras to have autofocus and i was testing it and it's still in beta so it's not the best uh there's a couple things in this camera that are still in beta testing so uh i'm just messing around with it right now but so far i absolutely love it the colors are beautiful adam hates that i film in 24 but i'm filming in 20 can we can we do a comment thing can we do a poll on the youtube video is that a thing that youtube allows us to do nowadays let us know i know you guys i know cause you know i listen to your comments i respect your feedback you guys like when i upload in 60 frames per second i often see comments when i accidentally upload 24 frames per second then the video looks choppy it looks put together by a monkey like a real negativity no that's not how that works 24 is the superior is what movies are filmed in correct are documentaries filmed in 30 frames per second 24 frames per second 30. and this channel would you call it would you call it a cinema or a documentary with this technically speaking my youtube classification is sports michael it better not be it is i came from bmx you can't make me upload i just want to apologize in this video if there aren't a lot of audio clips mike and his big new fancy camera for whatever reason can't record audio so we're kind of limited i'm waiting on my new microphone we're still working progress i'm very excited though so you can kind of see from the starter looking so rusty and all of this residue on top of the plates back here this was the problem area this is where it's been seeping water and the problem wasn't so much sort of seeping out the fact is these coolant passages that go through if it's seeping out of the motor it's also seeping into the motor so we're getting water in the cylinders which is not good at all that's the main reason why i'm taking this apart and i'm going to come up with a different solution to prevent leaking water in my motor and if it doesn't work i'm abandoning this i'm just going back to a single throttle body but we'll give it one last shot now with the plate off you can kind of see how there's silicone on it and i think that it was leaking between these water passages and kind of seeping its way up top and you can see that it kind of ate through the silicone a little bit and if you look on the actual plate you can see in back it doesn't really look as dense and as consistent as it does say up front where you can see it has a pretty good seal around everything so there's a very good likelihood that it was leaking somewhere in back here and probably up through here most likely and that's where i was getting all the water loss from because these things are coolant channels sam also known as salmon was kind enough to send me the actual file for these adapter plates and i reached out to a company called fish that makes adapter plates and they were able to cut me out my own performance gasket out of some pretty crazy material that they think will definitely work because what we originally wanted to do if you remember i talked about o-ringing it but my concern was fitting two o-rings in a narrow passageway like in here would be very difficult and uh very hard to execute properly so this right here is quite a bit thicker and should act a lot better than the silicone that we had in there before if you look in there guys this is kind of like a bmw thing except instead of carbon it's almost like e85 buildup that stuff in there is like gooey wax and johan i thought he was joking around but he actually had a really good idea the guys next door have a bmw shop and that's a super common thing with like n54s so maybe we can see if we can borrow their walnut blaster it's like look at how gross that back one is p.s i got really scared when i mentioned walnut blasting it's not a fun job so i actually um can get it out just with a little bit of brake cleaner and a rag but what's interesting is it's the worst in the areas where i hypothesize the water is leaking the worst we kind of see it sitting on top of the cylinder i think not only was it leaking between the plates but it was also leaking here now fish made me gaskets for this side too so i'm going to try using their gasket here but i think it has something to do with all this gunk i think it's from the mixture of ed5 and water is like creating some sort of gum i'm not a scientist so i don't know what sort of chemical reaction is going on in there but uh it's not a good one so this is actually the one that went against the engine i forget if i film this or not you can see all the pitting here around the coolant passages i believe this is the indication of the water seeping so it wasn't necessarily between the plates but it was up against the engine which we do have another gasket from fish for not only was it leaking outside of the engine it was also leaking into the cylinders as you can see by this and by all that gunk that we're cleaning out right now there's one gasket i have to go pick up from either raw brokerage or in juku depending on who has it so i'm at a stall for tonight and there's not much else i can do but at least i got everything ripped apart so now it's just throwing it back together for whatever reason right now it's just when i shift from first it's like skipping one or two gears it might have something to do with that like the load just for the dyno yeah it sounds like it's popping in neutral when like you're driving out and it sounds like when you're low rpm it's like it's shifting fine but when you're getting on it it does have like a 3200 rpm stall which is kind of hot we're heading over to titan for the dyno i do have some bad news for you guys look at mike whipping that thing around uh i know i did talk a while ago about a building i was looking at on twitter unfortunately we did actually lose that building in terms of i actually offered them their asking price but another buyer came through with a cash offer that in the real estate world it's uh pretty much a no-brainer to accept the cash offer so we will not be moving buildings anytime soon but i'm still on the lookout for a bigger space you ready to go see this bear make power though yes look at that thing i'm excited look at that thing do you guys remember like back in the day when you're a kid and you got that like new tamagotchi and you're playing with it on the way home from the store that's mike right now with his red a hundred percent 100 right now mike and his little tamagotchi freddy in his little legs shulman and his little blonde turbo this camera is like a totally new world to me so it's gonna take me a little bit to get used to it but already like just messing around with it in the car it makes stuff look so good it looks so funny it looks like a little gamecube kind of tough to use in a crammed little space like this i'm starting to realize but it's because your lens is bigger than your ego what do you go because no it's not well let the record hold those uh i believe it was the one of the fly one side splitters flew off my car on the highway at about 100 miles an hour i mean about the speed limit uh there's nothing i can do i saw it trashed i literally ran over it with my back wheel i'm hoping it's not the front lip but that front lip i put so many rib nuts in those side splitters bro do you remember there's like two self tappers and then the front has like two screws and that's all the total yeah that sucks the car's gonna look so weird on one side i'm like kind of big sad but like i i knew it was gonna happen eventually just hopefully it didn't do any damage in the meantime and hopefully there's no cars speeding up to us to get my license plate to yeah that ran over themselves all right let's look at the damage uh wait a second what oh no it can't be the front lip there's no way there's no way oh yeah what the heck oh now i'm real sad you're out dude we ran it over the craziest thing that front lip we riveted on probably eight million i'm really bummed now no way oh my god what the it ripped all the rivets out it ripped it must have been just the down force on the lips oh my god it ripped every single rivet out i'm so upset now oh big sad so quick update since the last time if you guys remember the issue we had where the flex plate and torque converter went i'm good so basically what johann did as a lot of you guys advised we ditched those weird spacers that had like a female and male side and just went with a traditional style spacer that he actually welded onto the torque plate so it couldn't move around and then also went ahead and took the flex plate and shaved a bit down where there was actually like a step causing those spacers to kind of have a little bit of wiggle room slash flex slash angle which i'll show you in a cell phone clip here because freddie's not super super familiar with these motors you wanted to pull the plugs just to check them and see if the motor is happy with how much timing it has and explain how you know you just hold it over this there's a little bit of speckles on the base that usually means that it's having a little bit of a detonation going on which is weird because we're not even we're a very low timing number still but then again i don't know what pump gas though pump gas and i'm not sure what a bear likes currently so little speckles we'll back it off a little so so we are running into some issues freddie was about to get into the power poles and when he saw that little bit of detonation he thought something was weird was going on so uh we got on the phone with the haltech guys and it turns out we're actually having really big trigger errors going on there's no explanation for it other than potentially because we have that crank trigger splice because of the type of signal and the fact that it sends waves uh the fact that we have a splice could be causing some sort of interference so we're checking the resistance on that real quick and we might have to abandon that all together if you remember trevor on his jay-z mustang he actually welded another trigger wheel on so it was a separate system he wasn't splitting any signals so even though it was enough to get the car happy to keep it running at the higher power passes we started getting errors and now if there is resistance we're gonna have to cut that splice and then to make everything happy we're going to need to potentially figure out on our own maybe replicating some data from a ford falcon and hoping that it's the same as a candidate from a mustang since we have that already loaded in the hall deck maybe we can make everything happy and maybe we can do some pulls but i think even if we can't do that the car will still stay running for about 15 minutes before the body control module times out so we still can in theory do our power pulls today which have to keep cycling the car on and off in between we didn't really change anything and it appears to be working now so we're gonna try even though we're not getting any trigger errors anymore i originally wanted to push this thing to around 600 wheel on pump gas but god forbid we have a trigger error again and we could result in some detonation uh we made the executive decision to start dumping the ignite in it to get the e-content up because with ethanol it's very very hard to damage a motor just because it it'll take a lot of time and it'll take a lot of weird to happen to really like blow up the v-mode or knock on wood um so just we're adding it right now for that protection and we're just going to resume the rest of the day tuning on eve which was the end goal i just wanted to also have a really rad 93 base map but we can always do that in the future right now mike doesn't know how to play with the audio settings on the red so i have to scream at you guys right now we're making close to 550 horsepower and that's only a one bar a boost now we haven't turned it up yet but we turn it up this puppy's gonna be screaming we lost a freeze plug so we lost a freeze plug this basically plugs the coolant channel if you guys remember we had these replaced just kind of more of an aesthetic thing than anything uh however as you can see we probably should have just left the stock ones in there and not dealt with this but uh what our solution is going to be i have been under the impression that the pressure in the coolant system has been too high the whole time we've had the car and maybe the thermostat gets stuck or does some weird stuff the car's cooling times never really get that hot but it always just feels like there's a lot of pressure built up in the system so what i want to do so we can get through this dyno day we're gonna rip the thermostat out to let it flow more and hopefully lower the pressure and hopefully lower the actual coolant temp as well because the thermostat in this is about 87 to 90 celsius which is on the hotter side but also this freeze plug is going to be kind of hard to see uh you can see here there's a rather thick gold line here it's rather thin it appears as if this plug was not pushed in all the way and or was pushed in slightly crooked so we're gonna try to reuse this one it's either basically reuse this or get one of the expandable ones from the auto parts store johann would rather see this one go back in so we're going to attempt to do that lower the pressure in the actual coolant system get this thing back on the dyno and we all want to make over 800 wheel today so all right so the torque curve and power is dropping off very significantly up top like a lot none of the data in the computer shows that it should be dropping so i had a feeling that the timing might be wandering with rpm so we put a timing gun on it and we locked the timing at 10 degrees globally and then i had adam rev the car up to the rpm range and it's walking as much as 5 to 10 degrees negative oh wow which would explain why the power falls down i have heard that if the crank sensor wires are backwards it would cause that i have never personally experienced it until now maybe so johan just swapped them over and we're gonna give it a try nice camera oh yeah thank you yeah yep we almost gave up but then we realized we looked at the clock and it was just about the time where healthtech australia was waking up so we gave them a ring and then we have scott from haltech who knows a lot about bearers hop it on the computer and i think worst case scenario what he's going to do there's a separate map it's like a tvc offset map where you can basically build a table that tells the computer that you know at this rpm it's not actually this timing it's this timing and you can kind of compensate for whatever weird thing is going on to get the car working now so he's going to try to get everything solved but as a worst case scenario if we want to see what this thing can make and start to tune the trans which i really want to do you can do that i believe scott put in some different timing settings on top of the compensation for the weird sort of issue we're having and you can see it already picked up quite a bit of mid-range and it appears to have fallen off a little bit less although i do think that this scaling might be a little bit different because i believe he's revving out over 7000 and it's reading under 7000 on this graph also fun fact it seems to be a bear thing if you look we're already making more torque than horsepower wild ah it looks like someone overshot their boost a little bit oh my god that's a little bit of a taste about what we can be expecting in the future let's go make sure there's nothing uh blue freddy's got that little evilest grin there look at that little smile on his face scott if you're watching this you must really know what you're doing because that is a

it a quick little rip in the parking lot when you saidwhat's up guys welcome to today's video as you can see by the title we are back in florida and we're going to be taking the bear to get tuned

first it's like skipping one or two gears it might have something to do with that like the load just for the dyno yeah it sounds like it's popping in neutral when like you're driving out and it sounds like when you're low rpm it's like it's shifting fine but when you're getting on it it does have like a 3200 rpm stall which is kind of hot we're heading over to titan for the dyno i do have some bad news for you guys look at mike whipping that thing around uh i know i did talk a while ago about a building i was looking at on twitter unfortunately we did actually lose that building in terms of i actually offered them their asking price but another buyer came through with a cash offer that in the real estate world it's uh pretty much a no-brainer to accept the cash offer so we will not be moving buildings anytime soon but i'm still on the lookout for a bigger space you ready to go see this bear make power though yes look at that thing i'm excited look at that thing do you guys remember like back in the day when you're a kid and you got that like new tamagotchi and you're playing with it on the way home from the store that's mike right now with his red a hundred percent 100 right now mike and his little tamagotchi freddy in his little legs shulman and his little blonde turbo this camera is like a totally new world to me so it's gonna take me a little bit to get used to it but already like just messing around with it in the car it makes stuff look so good it looks so funny it looks like a little gamecube kind of tough to use in a crammed little space like this i'm starting to realize but it's because your lens is bigger than your ego what do you go because no it's not well let the record hold those uh i believe it was the one of the fly one side splitters flew off my car on the highway at about 100 miles an hour i mean about the speed limit uh there's nothing i can do i saw it trashed i literally ran over it with my back wheel i'm hoping it's not the front lip but that front lip i put so many rib nuts in those side splitters bro do you remember there's like two self tappers and then the front has like two screws and that's all the total yeah that sucks the car's gonna look so weird on one side i'm like kind of big sad but like i i knew it was gonna happen eventually just hopefully it didn't do any damage in the meantime and hopefully there's no cars speeding up to us to get my license plate to yeah that ran over themselves all right let's look at the damage uh wait a second what oh no it can't be the front lip there's no way there's no way oh yeah what the heck oh now i'm real sad you're out dude we ran it over the craziest thing that front lip we riveted on probably eight million i'm really bummed now no way oh my god what the it ripped all the rivets out it ripped it must have been just the down force on the lips oh my god it ripped every single rivet out i'm so upset now oh big sad so quick update since the last time if you guys remember the issue we had where the flex plate and torque converter went i'm good so basically what johann did as a lot of you guys advised we ditched those weird spacers that had like a female and male side and just went with a traditional style spacer that he actually welded onto the torque plate so it couldn't move around and then also went ahead and took the flex plate and shaved a bit down where there was actually like a step causing those spacers to kind of have a little bit of wiggle room slash flex slash angle which i'll show you in a cell phone clip here because freddie's not super super familiar with these motors you wanted to pull the plugs just to check them and see if the motor is happy with how much timing it has and explain how you know you just hold it over this there's a little bit of speckles on the base that usually means that it's having a little bit of a detonation going on which is weird because we're not even we're a very low timing number still but then again i don't know what pump gas though pump gas and i'm not sure what a bear likes currently so little speckles we'll back it off a little so so we are running into some issues freddie was about to get into the power poles and when he saw that little bit of detonation he thought something was weird was going on so uh we got on the phone with the haltech guys and it turns out we're actually having really big trigger errors going on there's no explanation for it other than potentially because we have that crank trigger splice because of the type of signal and the fact that it sends waves uh the fact that we have a splice could be causing some sort of interference so we're checking the resistance on that real quick and we might have to abandon that all together if you remember trevor on his jay-z mustang he actually welded another trigger wheel on so it was a separate system he wasn't splitting any signals so even though it was enough to get the car happy to keep it running at the higher power passes we started getting errors and now if there is resistance we're gonna have to cut that splice and then to make everything happy we're going to need to potentially figure out on our own maybe replicating some data from a ford falcon and hoping that it's the same as a candidate from a mustang since we have that already loaded in the hall deck maybe we can make everything happy and maybe we can do some pulls but i think even if we can't do that the car will still stay running for about 15 minutes before the body control module times out so we still can in theory do our power pulls today which have to keep cycling the car on and off in between we didn't really change anything and it appears to be working now so we're gonna try even though we're not getting any trigger errors anymore i originally wanted to push this thing to around 600 wheel on pump gas but god forbid we have a trigger error again and we could result in some detonation uh we made the executive decision to start dumping the ignite in it to get the e-content up because with ethanol it's very very hard to damage a motor just because it it'll take a lot of time and it'll take a lot of weird to happen to really like blow up the v-mode or knock on wood um so just we're adding it right now for that protection and we're just going to resume the rest of the day tuning on eve which was the end goal i just wanted to also have a really rad 93 base map but we can always do that in the future right now mike doesn't know how to play with the audio settings on the red so i have to scream at you guys right now we're making close to 550 horsepower and that's only a one bar a boost now we haven't turned it up yet but we turn it up this puppy's gonna be screaming we lost a freeze plug so we lost a freeze plug this basically plugs the coolant channel if you guys remember we had these replaced just kind of more of an aesthetic thing than anything uh however as you can see we probably should have just left the stock ones in there and not dealt with this but uh what our solution is going to be i have been under the impression that the pressure in the coolant system has been too high the whole time we've had the car and maybe the thermostat gets stuck or does some weird stuff the car's cooling times never really get that hot but it always just feels like there's a lot of pressure built up in the system so what i want to do so we can get through this dyno day we're gonna rip the thermostat out to let it flow more and hopefully lower the pressure and hopefully lower the actual coolant temp as well because the thermostat in this is about 87 to 90 celsius which is on the hotter side but also this freeze plug is going to be kind of hard to see uh you can see here there's a rather thick gold line here it's rather thin it appears as if this plug was not pushed in all the way and or was pushed in slightly crooked so we're gonna try to reuse this one it's either basically reuse this or get one of the expandable ones from the auto parts store johann would rather see this one go back in so we're going to attempt to do that lower the pressure in the actual coolant system get this thing back on the dyno and we all want to make over 800 wheel today so all right so the torque curve and power is dropping off very significantly up top like a lot none of the data in the computer shows that it should be dropping so i had a feeling that the timing might be wandering with rpm so we put a timing gun on it and we locked the timing at 10 degrees globally and then i had adam rev the car up to the rpm range and it's walking as much as 5 to 10 degrees negative oh wow which would explain why the power falls down i have heard that if the crank sensor wires are backwards it would cause that i have never personally experienced it until now maybe so johan just swapped them over and we're gonna give it a try nice camera oh yeah thank you yeah yep we almost gave up but then we realized we looked at the clock and it was just about the time where healthtech australia was waking up so we gave them a ring and then we have scott from haltech who knows a lot about bearers hop it on the computer and i think worst case scenario what he's going to do there's a separate map it's like a tvc offset map where you can basically build a table that tells the computer that you know at this rpm it's not actually this timing it's this timing and you can kind of compensate for whatever weird thing is going on to get the car working now so he's going to try to get everything solved but as a worst case scenario if we want to see what this thing can make and start to tune the trans which i really want to do you can do that i believe scott put in some different timing settings on top of the compensation for the weird sort of issue we're having and you can see it already picked up quite a bit of mid-range and it appears to have fallen off a little bit less although i do think that this scaling might be a little bit different because i believe he's revving out over 7000 and it's reading under 7000 on this graph also fun fact it seems to be a bear thing if you look we're already making more torque than horsepower wild ah it looks like someone overshot their boost a little bit oh my god that's a little bit of a taste about what we can be expecting in the future let's go make sure there's nothing uh blue freddy's got that little evilest grin there look at that little smile on his face scott if you're watching this you must really know what you're doing because that is a big jump and the car sounded really happy up there i'm gonna go check in to see how many pounds of boost it took to make 800 wheel and about 750 foot-pounds of torque so freddie was in the car on the phone with scott while he was like remote on the computer freddie how was that experience it was a good one either what i was doing was correct and he complimented me or i did i was doing things completely wrong he insulted me not in a bad way but australians are very harsh personalities which is fun which is good because i you know i don't know what this is or what it likes or what it wants so but he was just on the other end you're like oh only seven horsepower uh 40 pounds that's sick super helpful we made our power goal and i think he's going to dial things in we do have a kind of little fancy thing that freddy asked us to put in it's actually cool in pressure sensor so correct me if i'm wrong freddy but uh the logic mind is to catch if it starts lowering coolant pressure raise that poor pressure is raising oh that would mean that it's seeking into the coolant chambers okay yeah that makes way more sense of what i was about to explain that's why i always say correct me if i'm wrong so you can correct me if i'm wrong we actually have to wrap this up pretty fast shulman's got to go because he's got to catch the next episode of desperate housewives so freddie is hopping in the driver's seat and he's uh adding one more pound of booze so uh freddy's going back on teamviewer with scott from australia they're gonna add one more pound to boost clean it up it'll probably land somewhere in the nines but uh just a reminder until we get the trans tune dialed probably just gonna drive this thing around a gate try to get all the settings good and then we'll slowly up the boost on the street uh and see what the trans can handle so i'm gonna let you guys in in a secret i told freddy and scott from australia that i only wanted to go up a pound but i have a feeling they're gonna go up more but the thing is because i only told them one pound it's not my responsibility i think they're going gonna try to make a thousand wheel which will be rad we're all really nervous about the head lifting so we'll see my prediction of them going up more than one pound was most likely correct i'm not feeling this i'm literally myself showing you just keep popping you're in the background we're all just having a conversation about how for like nearly a thousand wheel this car does not seem violent like it seems very civil on the dyno it looks like a very underwhelming 950 wheel it's kind of wild i think they're making it safe now basically what i'm trying to have them do now is play with pulling some boost out of the mid-range to lower the torque keep the power about the same in case we have traction issues so we know that we can just lower the boost in that mid-range down and let it uh make the most traction possible because torque is what's going to spin the wheels and this is wild oh so basically where we're leaving off freddy you nailed it big thank you to scott over at haltech australia for helping us through um definitely shed some insight on us for the bear world and uh this is just the beginning of this thing but where we're leaving off now uh the car brad browdy ready to go on the street we just got to dial in the trans tune stuff so i've talked with the guys over hdg and they want to do it on the street so we're going to turn this thing back down to spring pressure which was roughly like 500 wheel and then we're going to take that on the street set all the shifting points the pressures the transitions all that and that is what you guys can expect to see in the next video so for now we're going to unload this thing and maybe give it a quick little rip in the parking lot when you said\n"
