1000HP TRACKHAWK BLOWS UP RACING EXPLORER ST 

100% You nailed it. Id be happy with 9.8 …. For a week or two lol

Bud, we come into this world with nothing and leave with nothing plus our age doesn't get any better thus may as well enjoy yourself! Lightning owner myself and a redeye but getting the Lightning's into the 9's you are already in that legendary group of dudes. I have a Kenne Bell 2.6, never tracked it but be happy with low 12's! (Also rather have an Eaton any day.)

Just gotta stop keeping up with the Jones' and be happy at a certain point. 9 sec truck is FAST! I just want to hit 10.xx in my G8 after boost lol.

@@TonyTheTruckGuyyou nailed it brother. Quit trying to keep up with the Joneses.

Thank you. Welcome to the family. I’m really impressed what those ST’s are capable of with the 6 cylinder and twin turbos. Paul is aiming to get into the 10s soon

Appreciate that brother. 🙏🫡

Thank you, I need the motivation. Hopefully it’s back soon so I can enter it into some AWD shootouts and 8th mile events

Welcome back! OG 🫡

Sipple is going to get ahold of me this week and let me know what caused it to break

Man I’m hoping Thank you for the support 🫡

Appreciate it mate. I’m gonna keep on keeping on.

Thanks bro. I’ve been unlucky with this thing for a while, gonna be switching things up soon. The problem with first gear is it’s pretty much unusable at this power level. It just blows the tires off, even on drag radials

Yes it was. It will run 9s, even if I have to throw a 300 shot of nitrous at it

Thank you. It’s a blast here now with the new owners.

Lol yea skipped right over June, good catch. Thanks for subscribing 🫡

@@AirborneAmerican I couldn't help but notice your license plate. Just wanted to say thank you for your service to freedom of the 🌎👍✌️🤙🇺🇲🇺🇸 Respect my friend 💯

I was in shock lol But will pull off next time, hopefully I won’t have to again for a while.

@@AirborneAmerican it hit me when it happened… hate to see it. You be back stronger than ever!! Stay up!!!

@@GODZLLA_ST Appreciate it brother. I’m trying.

Sorry to hear that. Unfortunately you’re right, just wish I could have this thing for longer than 2 months without it breaking down Thanks for the motivation 🫡

Thanks bro I appreciate it

😂😂😂 Don’t worry I do

100% It knocked me down good

Haha! She is older, but I'm driving a 2008 Explorer.

I’m glad you found it. I got you on the POV ASMR drives Just give me some time to get it back up and running right.

Appreciate you brother. The comeback is gonna be unreal

🙏💪🫡

😂😂 That hurt but she’s back now. Time to send it!!!…..Again 😂

Thanks Nate This stuff happens with racing. Unfortunately it will never get easier. I’ll tell Fletch you were asking about him.

Hey! Welcome back OG Glad you found the new channel. It’s a long story of what happened to the old channel. Here’s the video, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HPCKqyn80eI.htmlsi=YRP7lbpK60SXiTNj

@@AirborneAmerican 💯 still here for the journey 🫡 wishing the best

@@GAMRMNTS2Appreciate that brother, it was hard to delete the other channel and lose all of you. But hopefully the real ones find their way back.

100% AAA owes me 300 dollars

That was half throttle.

Pretty sure the driver was in his 70s and that’s the fastest he’s ever driven it.

100%. The weight hurts these things. And yes, the Mustang has a built T56 Magnum XL from Tick Performance, rates for 1,700hp. That was supposed to be my fast vehicle but things happened and the Trackhawk got the attention and money

A lot of people skip first gear and launch in 2nd at high power levels so I think you’re correct. They also don’t seem leave the line with boost which is a shame… on a stock one it can shave off a half second to 60 plus it’s easier on the drivetrain.

I always think the same thing. I wish these could launch harder but even the fast Trackhawk in the world seems like it has a slow leave. I don’t know if weight could have something to do with it.

⁠@@S8ER 100% It’s way easier drivetrain. I did a 1st launch when I first got it back and it was completely unusable, all four tires spinning.

@@AirborneAmerican I figured that was the case… I’m still completely stock and it’s violent as hell on the drivetrain. I can’t believe these things don’t break more often.

@@S8ERYup me too. A lot of people give Mopars a hard time but they’re heavier than everything else and still compete and hold up pretty to the abuse.

😂😂 These things just like to be worked on. Makes them faster lol

They are!

Thanks brother, I needed that. I’ve been through a lot with this Trackhawk, but I know it has the potential to be great. Already bought more parts for it to be even faster.

He has MORE than a stage 2 Pure trans he has the billet input shaft which is what makes a Pure stage 2 a stage 3.

The reason I went with a Sipple transmission is because they have all the Trackhawk quarter mile records

@@TENNESSEETRACKHAWK I didn’t even know that lol

@@AirborneAmerican Man can make it man can break it. My Clutched pulley failed. Less than 1% failure rate and mine failed so shit does happen. Trans tuning is a skill that takes talent. Some ppl just have more talent than others. BES Racing builds the best engines imo. Pure the best Trans. FORE the best fuel system. Tuning is personal tho but it sux u gotta pay to have the trans taken out and sent back that will be several weeks at the earliest. Its part of owning fast shit cant avoid it bro. Nice to see u out there getting some seat time tho.

😂😂

Yessir. Making 5,400 pound SUVs faster than sport cars since 2018.

Thank you for your support 🇺🇸🫡

Nice trade. 2020 is the lowest production year for the Trackhawks. What color exterior and interior did you get?

@@AirborneAmerican Sting gray and black for the interior. I would’ve preferred a red interior but I’m very happy I landed on a clean, low mile, one owner Trackhawk. I plan on doing a Whipple, axles, exhaust and calling it good.

⁠@@WheelmanMike Nice. That Sting Grey is a rare color too.

Whyd you trade the trx?

@@WheelmanMike why did you trade the TRX? I have a 17 Jeep SRT i want to get into a trx soon

100% Mustang time. Should hear back from Sipple by the end of the week. Might of been something with the planetary

Its stock 🤷‍♂️

For real, that attempt at a burn out I bet smelled really good. Nothing like a freshly glazed clutch to start the day.

Lol yea I try to warn people that this can happen, not always but sometimes it does. Be careful with modifying that Redeye 2.7L supercharger.

Could have been the clutches slipping

Well said. Still a tough pill to swallow

😂😂 Don’t be a hater

😂😂

Purple Heart, take that serious

100% I need a sugar momma 😂

Thanks man. Unfortunately that’s the truth. I should know by the end of the week.

100% Just gotta roll with the punches.

I wouldn’t be running lol

Me too. I was ready to sell it. Appreciate your support 🫡

🙏 🫡

I offered!

Long story short AAA let me down.

I can’t say for certain but I wouldn’t think so.

@@AirborneAmerican well I think it’s the tune. You have it all on video. You uploaded that new tune and it took out the transmission

Good question. i think it depends greatly on your relationship with the shop. But I will let you know what Livernois Motorsports charged me in a future video.

What do you mean?

@@AirborneAmerican seemed like the clutch was slipping or something when it did the burnout idk

@@AJYZF1R2010Could have been. Those c8 corvettes clutches seem to be a weak point. But my boy Fletch was sending it, that was something like his 5 4th pass in under an hour

@@AirborneAmerican thing is sick

Should of been factory. They always shorting something.

That’s my luck. I swear god is testing me

Yea it was hard not to let my emotions the best of me. But like Forrest Gump said it happens

* ZFG was the better times

Not trying through shade at livernois at all.. great guy, highly intelligent , just giving you some insight to my experience

Sounds like we should line em up 😉

@@PJester I’m in Connecticut! Also, after reviewing what I posted… I’m a total idiot… I am comparing an e30 tune from livernois to an e50 tune from zfg… that would explain a difference in times like that.. for some reason I thought I ran an e50 from livernois… but nope.. so that comparison is not fair at all.. especially with crp stage 5 turbs.. the more E you throw at these the harder they pulllllllll… I just got some revision back from 93 tune.. gonna upload my 0-60 on 93.. Adam thinks with my build we can get to 3.5sec on 93.. bout to find out!!

@GODZLLA_ST that would be awesome, sub four on 93 is great! You're right, though. These things really like E up to about E60. Anything after that is a verrry small difference. I love my livernois tune, any zfg guys are welcome to come out and run it! 😁

😂

😂😂😂 That’s the look of heartbreak

Lol

100% That’s what we get with factory mass production

I thought about building the Mustang a lot. I would ideally like to get another vehicle for strictly drag racing. Should hear back from Sipple by the end of the week

@@AirborneAmerican I want to do a restomod for my next ride

Yessir I got you airborne-american.com/products/trackhawk-shirt If you need a bigger size message me on ig

Daniel who? What are you talking about?

I made a video about it. You might of already seen it.

They have always taken care of me but gotta pay to play.

I’ve been down this road you’re going down, not with livernois, but with another shop. You see the red flags but just can’t come to terms with the red flags because they have “helped” you. I’ve been there. I’m telling you, deep inside you know they are taking you for a ride. A built trans should last for a while especially in a track hawk if tuned properly. Check out rsp track hawk or a track hawk tuned by Barth or rsp. You do what you feels is right but don’t get taken for a ride. Do your research

@@TR99FRC Appreciate it brother. Big changes coming soon

@@AirborneAmerican I hope you do well man!

@@TR99FRCI love reading these comments about always blaming the shop and giving them a bad wrap. I know absolutely nothing about the situation, but if you are going to take any high performance vehicle to a shop to do modifications to push the limits of its potential, then you have to understand what risks are involved. Most of the time customers walk into a shop and either have a half ass done build they can’t finish themselves or they have deep pockets and ideas about how they want to make their shit fast. Most don’t have a clue what it takes, yet they’re the ones collecting parts based off internet racers comments and sponsor Ads… its like you want to go buy some fireworks and when its not good enough, you decide to go buy some dynamite and blow your hand off. Who’s fault is that? The one you bought fire works from or the place that sold you the dynamite??? Lol try again. Now given that the stuff could be defective right out of the box. That’s true. But its not like you didn’t understand the risks involved. If you want something done right, you gotta put in the time and do it yourself. That goes with anything. I don’t agree with blaming any business that A Customer goes to for help, simply because of their lack of knowledge to get it done themselves. If they broke their end of the agreement, then sure, its fair game. But these high performance engine fails are just shameless

I’m pretty sure that’s the fastest that Shelby truck has ever gone and will ever go. He’s an older guy (60s or 70s I think)

Got one already

👍

How are you building your jeep?

Yeah I’m interested aswell. Personally I would build the motor if I were you but this time get the heads done they also sell thitek heads and various other brands. the block done to what ever size get it top fuel hooped with some bad ass arp head studs pin the crank with multiple key ways. If you do go blower I would use a clutched pulley like stock easier if crank shock and slip. Obviously tune cam on race fuel and would go turbos they are easier on the motor and don’t rob power. Lastly keep it cool. Get a built trans unless it is built you said it was rated 2000hp? with an input shaft with more and beefier billet splines on it. If it didn’t work this time then it is gonna break again. Find a better company or go with a different trans like rossler or somebody else. Granted this is expensive so I understand stand. That’s a common break on the input shaft and to even destroy gears. These cars are very heavy and make a ton of tq. Sorry about the bad luck brother that sucks.

@@joshreynolds729 Thanks brother Most of the stuff you mentioned I already have done. It’s a built BGE stroker motor, rods, pistons, heads, cam, double pinned lower pulley. I’m sure I’m forgetting some stuff I need to make a video of everything that’s done to it.

@@AirborneAmerican No problem man. oh my mistake I had no idea. Figured it was just fbo on e or something like this I’m fairly new to your channel so guess that one’s on me 😂. Yeah absolutely, I’m sure everyone would love a video of mods and power output with maybe some info on track hawk awd trans and components hell I would watch it not many people do drive train and if yours is broken then why not. I would love to make the track hawk awd work on my hellcat so understanding how they work would be useful. Thanks for letting me know what’s done though. Motors fine though right just trans?

I’m going to release the dyno video soon. Then I’ll get into what’s all done with it, if I can remember it all 😂 I think the motor is okay but fingers crossed 🤞 I always said they should have made a regular hellcat all wheel drive. Nothing would of stood a chance

Thanks bro. Hurts every time

@@AirborneAmerican sure does

Bro I hate this feeling, it’s the 3rd time I’ve had to put it on a tow truck… guts me every time. I always tell people to be careful how far you modify these because stuff can happen and it gets really expensive quick. The problem is they’re so much freaking fun at high horsepower.

@@AirborneAmerican your a good sport about it though. Usually people start crying and blaming the performance shop when things go wrong. But you know what you got your self into. U a good dude bro

@@Tracklyfe_T I try to be, it’s tough sometimes because it gets frustrating. But everything happens for a reason Just gotta have faith and keep pushing forward.

@@AirborneAmerican Bro I done dealt with some performance shops in the past with my camaro & the whole thing just turned me off when modding. They take forever to get to the car & when something goes wrong and they already got the money, your ass is not a priority and you right in back of the line to god knows when. & the shops I went to have horrible Communication. Some of these shops are un real smh. At least your shop is quick to get you in & try to help you.

@@Tracklyfe_TI feel you 100% Livernois is a great shop to work with. Still wish I could do everything on my own. Just don’t have the knowledge and don’t want to mess anything up.

Lol This thing would rip with a 3 inch lift and some 35x12.5 mud tires.

No one has ever told me that but I’ve seen people do it before. I was honestly in shock but thanks for the tip and reminding me. I’ll remember for next time.

I heard they put in billet input shafts

They do but they are out of em right now

@@clarencesmith35yahooAh I got you. I’m gonna call Jon on Wednesday and see what’s up.

I can’t, I’m in love with it..
