What happens here
This project documents a multi-day participation in 'Race Week,' involving cross-country driving, essential vehicle maintenance like refueling, and crucial performance tuning adjustments. The project highlights the challenges of drag racing at high altitudes and the iterative process of optimizing vehicle performance through engine tuning and troubleshooting, culminating in drag race passes and performance analysis. While primarily a travelogue, the key DIY aspects focus on preparing and adapting the vehicle for competitive drag racing under varied conditions.

(19,998 characters)you just have to you just can't not do that you can't see an open turbo not spinning because it doesn't matter if it's on a table on a car if it's open you have to screw it those are the rules i'm waiting for you i'm waiting for you i'm a dick oh my god it's mr hanky you're going to eat the walnut out of uncle rob's engine bay no eat it try them get your skinny little handle there's find some more make sure you guys go to sema.org sign the rpm act you're just gonna go off right here there's literally a spot right there and you just have to go like that oh well it doesn't matter it doesn't but damn race week soccer continues day four we are driving from pueblo to vandemir and racing the same day not very far away but they're going to make the route a little bit more interesting than it would be if you just hopped on the interstate and went straight up there filling up here with some 91 but for 3.95 the colorado stuff so we got to go something like 43 miles down the same highway that we just drove down yesterday just for fun just looking tough so at least we have sort of an idea of where we're going then we're going to go north on highway 9. you can see snow-capped mountains out there that's sweet [Music] well guys we got a problem here what is the problem ponies a little bit upset because we haven't seen any ponies yet there's no cows you're gonna point out there's no ponies there's no goats very disappointed yeah you're just barely roughing it out here there's no no farm barnyard critters to look at that we finally get to turn here it's pretty look at the water oh yeah the greek thing this drive has been awesome so far i get i get what people are talking about now figures this ranger is going the same way we are i'm just tired of looking at him now [Music] and you guys get the same way where you're behind the same car for too long and you just have to pass them or something just for a change of scenery like i'm just tired of following you old gas station i wonder if that was like a sinclair esso or something it had the circular sign yeah that's cool we should go to the bathroom there oh okay well it's a little late now no it's not okay so i saw this for real quick and just decided to pull over and check it out i don't know what it is but i thought it'd be cool to take a picture in front of it with the mountains in the background and stuff i don't know maybe that'll uh it'll be our thumbnail or something there's some people driving by may or may not have peed over there use your imagination man i could just feel how much more pedal it takes to move this thing than it did before it is like noticeably dirtier yeah that's great altitude i mean it's going to make less power regardless because of the altitude yeah it'll be a little better oh yeah shout out to alex bowman for the koozies that's just something i never think to bring and i just remembered i had them in the duel and we brought them and they've been uh very handy look at the cows houses up there just cool when they're built up into the hillside like that i can only imagine how awesome it is out here in the winter when this whole thing is full of snow go off right here there's literally a spot right there and you just have to go like that oh well it doesn't matter it doesn't but damn there's a drone right there i see that probably won't even have to shut it off oh my god it's kyle yeah i'll just save myself the dignity and do it myself oh did i just ruin your photo shoot with my piece of garbage i ruined everything ruin your video mitchell go back to where you came from this is my only camera kyle my friend well this is about the last thing i expected to find driving through here what are we doing up here just chilling dude taking in some drone stuff beautiful colorado wilderness chasing wildlife it's like some weird ass birds here dude some weird birds this is the state part of colorado it's called a mavic birds aren't real the scientific name is dj yeah this is one of those government birds you having a good time so far yeah this drive has been pretty great i was like what are those guys standing up on that thing for i saw a white i wasn't hurt with a cop so i kind of slowed down and i saw the the radar detector up there about to beam me for going too fast and i was like oh my god it's kyle they're standing on a pile of dirt in the middle of nowhere the mini mountain you have a hairdryer dryer you know some colorado guys gonna drive by and be like someone in the comments said i should do a route 66 uh series yeah i think honestly be cool to have someone like yourself do that kind of a modern era of folks doing this instead of a bunch of boomers doing route 66 some uh cinema filming is about to go down with a drone and an r8 is he gonna do a flyby it's gonna be sick i'll i'll show it to you right after that all right there's one car behind the seminar and then one way back after that let's get that tell us start going [Music] why am i doing you get a bunch of rocks in your shoes sliding down yeah look at my sock too what so hard to see on the screen so that'll probably look pretty cool i would imagine yeah i don't know what what channel is this going on is this for you're going to suffer for there's a mess performance yeah we're doing daily videos just on kyle and his r8 we've already has great momentum by the way like as far as the editing and music and things oh thank you thank you you guys use music i know right yeah he usually makes all the music by mouth i just shove clips together man beatboxing [Music] we're getting back on the road now i thought we were running behind schedule but if kyle's here we're fine so this is historic south park city and we had to take a picture in front of anything in here that says south park that's all the instructions we had so i took a picture in front of the south park city gift shop it'd be so funny if there was a tegrity farm sign or something oh my god it's mr hanky that's the christmas poo you don't take a picture in it that is so funny no you put your face in it put my face in a piece of wood it's the christmas poo you'd be a funny mr hanky i guess we're gonna find some food around here somewhere i don't know what the plan is checking out the scenery behind the bar restaurant thingy here that's pretty cool this is neat i'm uh i'm glad we pulled over and decided to follow those guys because if we were by ourselves we're just taking a picture and kept going but this is cool i've never seen this kind of stuff before we don't have this in pennsylvania or texas we're going to walk down the stairs and check out the pond thingy well this feels like school gyms yeah it's like bouncy it's weird okay i want to walk in there with my shoes on just do it you have more shoes don't you yeah we'll screw it then really cold how is it very cold don't fall suck it i was gonna go deeper but that that's what he said on today's uh segment um saw stands for stapleton adventure world because this has nothing to do with race cars and everything to do with looking at cool stuff while we do race car stuff because this is freaking awesome we're definitely going to do more of this i'm really digging the idea of a route 66 series so leave a comment if you want to see that happen it's not on yet oh action we found kenny he died like in every other episode now we ate we're gonna get back on the road i don't even know how far away we are from vandemir but it's 2 46 the track opens at 3. apparently we don't really care about getting there exactly when racing starts which is fine it doesn't matter we're just enjoying the drive matt gave me a walkie-talkie so uh now we know what's going on people are going to pull over and whatnot currently we're about 45 minutes to the track 30 miles it's not too i feel so official with one of these things now thank you for joining the chat [Music] no it was funny when you inched up she had stuck too it was like what the heck i tried to be right on the tree and it just logged it didn't even go anywhere so i had to like let it go back down to idle and then roll into it yeah all that extra fuel is just burbling itself out of the cutout and down these hills when the converter is locked so we're almost to the track we've been engine breaking down these grades it sounds like a baby jake break with the cutout it's kind of funny [Music] it also burbles a lot pennsylvania what are you doing out here bro [Music] look at this water bottle it's all sucked in [Music] we're just getting into the track now oh look there's a chat we need to find jamie pfi because he has the hp tuners cable that's gonna save our life i'll be on the lookout for the shirt man it was just it was awesome meeting you guys oh yeah i gotta get i gotta get going because i do gotta get to work tomorrow but good luck in the races tonight man it was nice meeting you guys it's really awesome like honestly man you don't know like this this really does make my entire year you guys you want to be in a video dude i absolutely would love to be in a video all right well the camera's already on so what do you want to say uh suck it down uh stapling out of work subs uh like and subscribe if you haven't already that's it i don't know man i'm not good on camera i apologize i put him on the spot energetic though so that was that right so you just drive over this caution tape like it wasn't even there i don't even know why it's here you don't give a heck breaking the law oh that was a bad run did you see it no we just got here hit the up arrow way too many times and the fuel and the boost juice just blew the tire cloth turning up to 12 yet oh yeah we were on 12 last night oh yeah i want to make a run last night and it was like a 10-1 or something what happened uh no trans brake and uh fuel pump shut off in a thousand feet oh yeah that is something had to go wrong like that's not right around uh 883 at 1 55. so i decided that was good enough we were just we're gonna have this hall tech stuff i didn't know how to do the 30 on the fuel but i figured it out this morning so now we're now she's taken but i got to turn it back down we're struggling with the altitude i got to get jamie said he can help me fix my uh fuel map problem so awesome yeah that's good yeah everyone's fighting that right now we had the neutral drop at the whole way here today because really yeah wouldn't want a diet stopping and stuff yeah anything under 2000 it would run wow so basically the same kind of same thing that's happening to you yeah it was two foot in it everywhere yeah yeah so i don't know what the trance temperature got thankfully i don't have a gauge yeah that's the best pretty sure foot breaking it through the mountains is not the best just riding the converter the whole time yeah oh my god is that neil armstrong coming back from the moon [Music] oh damn it freddy stole my opportunity [Music] i wanted to talk to neil armstrong [Music] oh my god i thought they faked the moon landings but clearly that's where you just came back from from the moon the moon tune how to work 9 22. is that your personal best yeah it is a personal best does it feel good it honestly leads so hard i've never felt anything like that you know like when you're on an airplane you're like okay this thing's got some get up you know this is just something unlike anything i've ever felt before have you ever got a nine i've been 940 okay yeah would you trap [Music] 146 i've been 152. dang it you got you got a good 60 foot though i know one uh 39 yeah that's better than i've ever been that was fast that was really fast that's freaking ripping nice i'm gonna take a picture oh mr astronaut can we get you a white helmet put nasa on it i look like this [Music] what's up what's up i haven't seen you this week i know you've been real busy me too i don't want to bug you when you're doing business well uh while you're here why don't you say something relevant on this video i could say something relevant make sure you guys go to sema.org sign the rpm act you guys if you haven't seen my video where i talk about what they just hit me with big fine watch it uh we kind of all gotta group together to really kind of fight this and uh stop it here or at least get some kind of clarification and find out what what's what so we're all not troubling we can keep doing what we love to do so awesome yep it's very important and uh you definitely need to go check that out because it's pretty messed up and the only people that can fix it are all of us if we all do something about that's a fact man you me and our our presence just we got to get loud and just educate everybody what's going on i think a lot of people just don't know yeah that's a lot of it and the guys that have hit are so scared to talk about it fearing that it'll come back that uh they don't say anything and then the next guy gets it it's just been down the line so yeah someone's gotta stick up at some point that's how the country works that is how the country works land of the brave right so america america here we go so jamie looks like he's buried in his car huh jamie's buried working on his car i don't want to buck him so just kind of waiting for that what's going on with you yeah i want a real race me too i don't know if we're gonna get one i hope not if we can't get this tuned flash in here that i'm just gonna go down the track at like you know like i was going up a mountain about half throttle i could give you the hit and then i'll just pull around you okay when at last both times i saw you i don't know if you put it in your videos but you're like god damn i could see you like come on yeah i was mad like this is freaking stupid screw this i already don't like going slow but yeah they're so slow like i could literally look at you put on crews and then it's such a it's literally slow motion in these things yeah you start making a pass and the videos of the from the outside where i'm making the path and it doesn't work i only show like the first 600 feet because the rest is just when you're all way down there just like it's not it's no longer entertaining at that point the only difference though like mine is like really nice to look at yeah yeah this is not i don't know especially the back it's all banged up i'm waiting for you i'm waiting for you i'm a dick no you're good i know you're really not you're actually doing like important stuff i don't know jamie's got his whole persona he's like super nice guy he's going rookie of the year last year so freaking nice i get second place as a rookie and then he wins rookie of the year it was great what did you win what nice guy and when this camera goes off like you know yeah he does what he wants and they just they bounce on you all day didn't care i'm cheating right now when you made a beam splitter on the front i don't know like four lights cardboard no license plates i went and bought metal license plates from the souvenir stand what'd you run today um it went at 10 4 10 4 3. so 10 4 1 with the loose winner i'm hoping like in 10 30 whoa splitter and changing some other things i think that's a pretty long beast yeah no not that long of being split six inches yeah it's a it's half a license well three quarters of a license plate it's a foot long don't talk about my measuring skills david's unit of measure let's tune this thing i want to see what you're doing i got to like supervise to make sure you don't cheat yeah i got to find my stuff yeah i said my email went through i don't know if you it probably did i haven't even looked at my computer okay all right hustle job we're gonna get this thing figured out i know we're gonna get it figured out you're lucky i didn't bring any more springs i didn't turn the camera on yet oh the nut nut though i busted your knife you just busted the shell you didn't bust my nut yet that's what she said damn it you stole [Music] that's an authentic black walnut from monroeville pennsylvania oh god dude it's roasted it's roasted it's literally roasted it smells pretty good oh it does smell like food like a roasted nut it smells like something you would eat hold on i'm gonna eat this no wait i'm gonna break your chair do you want like a toolbar you're gonna eat the walnut out of uncle rob's engine bay dude it tastes actually decent really it's like roasted roasted it's not smelling it's not it is it's weird it's perfectly cooked my uncle's gonna watch this video and lose it because he told me they were they were in the freaking hvac blower fan it sounded like the lottery when you turn it on i was like that's what these that's what was in there yeah a bunch of those a bunch of legends skinny little handlers find some more dude you reached right in there and got it uncle rob had snacks yeah a little dry there's definitely more if there there might be some down here is it gonna eat a walnut are you gonna eat it i think we got i was waiting for that you just have to yeah you just can't not do that you can't see an open turbo not spinning because it doesn't matter if it's on a table on a car if it's open you have to screw it those are the rules down the hatch dude oh these are for us it's what friends do we don't want to don't suppose we should we you don't trust me i don't want to eat it you don't trust me eat it you catch me without having food and they lit your tongue i would try it but i'm actually allergic to tree nuts so i can't eat it did smell nice though when you look eventually you think he's probably allergic to trees they're beans they grow underground i eat a ton of peanut butter literally a lot of these five pound jars of peanut butter i just need a grown boy yeah sure did you try it yet i'll tell you though does it actually taste like a nut it's like roasted yeah that's weird honestly if there was more i'd eat them well damn i should have kept those i could have i could have kept them in there and they'd be all nice and roasted for you i picked out hey like when you're gonna break down the next time we found a big black walnut under the intake manifold [Music] he only eats those usually on ice cream with chocolate food yeah whatever i got to whoop his butt it's getting stale it's from my grandma's yard brake dust oh that's great that's what is that no that's called pennsylvania winter oh yeah i need that i need that there you go sir sweet can i say i'm done it's the ugliest wheel gmc ever made so we got that tune flashed in here and it you know it doesn't doesn't want to die when it's in drive it doesn't do anything weird it's been okay so we'll see if the the smoothed out map um does all right we're just going to go on the street and roll into it a little bit make sure it works so we don't have to wait in the line to make a pass just to find out it doesn't work so it never died and i ran through the first gear or second gear once and it seemed okay until it got to about you know 5500 rpm and it started to break up a little bit it's like out of its it's a lot better a lot better than it was it doesn't doesn't want to die if i just punch it from a stop either so hopefully uh we can make another couple tweaks and fix it you need a backup beeper what is that supposed to go to i'm not sure there's a little line right here i think something for either the ac or here i fixed the vacuum just yesterday too it's great stuff the community computer i have the dongle dongle i got the dangle oh jamie literally brought this just in case people needed it because he's a bro here's your dongle sir he's like on there doing stuff with teamviewer we're gonna go drive around vlog change things and actually fix this the right way well i think we got the street tuning thing ironed out we had to pull a lot of fuel out to make it work come on chet where'd you had all day to do this oh yeah we needed did you really work it out did he give you a hot tub what did you do cheater we just had to pull a bunch of fuel out so it…
