Our Cummins Powered Galaxie Gets a GHETTO Nitrous System... Will It Work? (Racing Roadkill Truck) 

Been watching you since you were first on 1320 and I love your channel. I cant wait for your new video and every day I open RU-vid up in hope I see a new video multiple times a day, I'm a true addict. But for real I have dreamed of owning a galaxy 400 or 500 with a cummings on bags for a very long time, decades..... I'm dissabled (broke my neck and shattered my left femur back in 1998) and will probably never be able to afford/own something like this so I cant tell you how much I love watching this ride. I use to drag race motorcycles in the 90's but I crashed doing 172 mph and was almost killed back in 1998. So I love watching you guys build and race such amazing cars and I can not wait for Spaghetti's supra with the 2JZ swap to get built up as thats another dream build that I've had but for real the galaxy is a dream of mine since I was in high school, I almost bought one in 1993 but my dad would not let me get it. Another ride I wanted and dreamed of was a old school 60's Lincoln continental on bags with a lsx swapped in it. Any ways love your channel and I look foward to every video you guys make. Much love to you guys. Thank you, Jake C

You guys need to race vet carts

“Tap it twice” needs to be on the galaxy shirts

There's a boost line going to the mechanical pump on the engine that you can put a T in and add a boost gauge to it.

Remember to get a longer tube for the exhaust on the dyno!!!

James!!! Get the toolbox!

Call tavarish ask if he is looking for a galaxy.

joe blow yeah highly doubtful, unless youre all for Ford Racing and Nostalgic super stock, nobody wants old Fords or Mercurys

@@_.Mercury._ incorrect.... the 2 door galaxies with 390s are super desierable, all the onld mustang's, the torenos, old ford trucks and the list goes on.. if you think nobody wants an old ford you are sadly mistaken 😂

Really can't hurt a motor with nitrous on a diesel motor. Nothing no plugs to melt etc. It helps burn all the fuel that doesn't usually burn without nitrous. It's why when you see diesel vehicles on nitrous they burn so much more efficient and clean. (Much less black smoke) It's just a dry system that's used. There's no fuel jet with a nitrous system on a diesel motor. The fuel comes right from the injectors. If you fuck up nitrous on a diesel motor you should never touch any vehicle again.

Badoopboopdoop symbol noise.....

TheMinecruftlp 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Yee ol app giraffe

"While towing Neighbor backwards with the E-brake on"

Or “our Cummins is in 7 pieces”

A Ford Galaxie, with a huge diesel engine in it, my new favorite car..

jon doe www.cummins.com. Please try again

@jon doe That's a negative ghost rider.

@bobwatters Yeah I havent heard anything about that

My neighbors 16 F250 just lost a head gasket pulling a RV this weekend. Maybe it’s got something to do with how big the trailer is.

Wasn't it white buffalo??

@bobwatters it was on the way to rocky mountain race week

This

Stupid

They should do a $2000 junkyard build challenge for pink slips. i dont know who would win. Cleetus and roadkill are both awesome.

@jon doe Mike Finnegan, Roadkill, Finnegans garage, Hoonigan, if you like Cleetus you will like Finnegan

Never heard of him

May as well get rid of all the body panels too

Noel Medina lol at least the front fenders and hood and trunk and doors

Well half of Roadkill, without the MT BS.

AMEN! Mike is a cool guy. I’m soo looking forward to seeing this!

Road kill and mighty car mods???

@@chrislarue07 its been done two years ago ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NoBnwKu5g5U.html

RoadKill lol , they jumped the shark on that one..

I feel like he kinda catches alot od shade but james is the man!

@@courtlandbroussard6900 catches shade? How do you figure..

@@freedomfox8183 I dont figure, it (seems like) just some of the stuff said in video and a few comments I've come across sound a little like doubt or passive disses towards him, I think hes great dude puts in work. They all do I haven't missed an event in houston yet its great. But just my 2 cents

Welder ?!? have you seen his Headers ? Quote of Finnegan " welded by Ray Charles with his FEET ". sez it all.

not gonna lie.... between cleetus and finnigan with the ratsun, they're the combined reason i have a datsun in the garage right now getting built with an LS lol

@@michaellittlejohn8723 Actually, that quote is from Big Chief of Street Outlaws. But Finnegan has made an awesome set of headers for Blasphemi since then.

@@metalmanglers1026 thanx for the update.

To Everyone who commented here, I'm an actual welder, it is my profession

Logan Bosley same

Yeah that other guy on hrtv thought he was the Star of Roadkill.

@@michaellittlejohn8723 what david?

@@michaellittlejohn8723 Who?

@@HankeyMountainGarage David something ..... lol.

Anyone that's ever done anything cool has lived by these words.

Leroy Jenkins or a preheat grid + nitrous explosion.

Just set up a co2 to spray in the turbo like the nitrous. Runaway solved.

@@yankeedoodle7693 Yeah, nitrous bottle on the left side of the trunk already, CO2 bottle can be on the right. Of course, when they get the plumbing to the bottles mixed up, as it runs away, they hit it with nitrous...

@@jeffeastman625 Grids only runs before you start it, and only at cold temps. Not gonna happen.

It would be good content

and we owe the idea to to the OG of corvette exoskelton, the Roadkill corvette go cart

Now we're talkin! Hell yeah!

@@trailvega8321 no we don't because he didn't do anything nearly as accomplished or cool with it and he also didn't have the first there were multiple ones around that just weren't RU-vidrs or on the Internet for in the background of videos, they have been around since the c4 came out along with Miata carts and be carts and Cleetus never claimed to have an original idea for it Ever.. everybody just likes to talk in the comments it was bought as a crashed salvage Corvette to be a burnout car that is all... Shit just got real quick... escalated from there like all his projects

@@trailvega8321 actually Car Craft or Hot Today magazine did the original Vette Hack in the late 80s, and then also chopped up a Cadillac a little bit at a time taking quarter mile passes along the way to show how weight reduction improved et

He doesn't need to break it, the lefties have done that already!

108077854 yes! We need less bogging deep and more doing it for dale!

This channel is good because of the people in it having fun not doing as others demand. Keep it freestyle!

Brandon Terry if he’s running a billet block it needs to be atleast low 9s

Best deodorant/AP I've found is the Dry Idea 72 hour stuff. Try it, Coop.

or take your ass to a gym and benchpress a few

I am VERY excited

Cleeter sounds like a code word for *clitoris*

Technically Finnegan's garage is not the same as road kill because it's only Finnegan and roadkill is BS anyways because they left all of us subscribers to just hang out and dry after they claimed it would always be free on RU-vid

Robert Brooker id have to agree with ya on that one. That pissed me off. But we’ll just say finnegan vs McFarland tuning lol.

Rip mazdarati you were a good truck

I've got some real & strange connections to Mike Finnegan and Roadkill. I know the Original purchasers of the og ramp truck, drove by it a million times sitting in their driveway in the late 70's early 80's, I always thought it was a cool truck and would of loved to have that truck, cool to see Mike still giving it attention. The Roadkill episode where Dave and Mike are taking the Camaro to Bonneville salt flats is where they say who the original owners where and where the truck came from, Dave pulls paper work out of the glove box with owners name, blew me away when I watched that episode and I figured out that I knew the ramp truck from the 70's! I was sitting at an intersection and seen Mike & Dave coming through Klamath falls Or in the Roadkill episode where they were Hauling Mikes 55 to Jim Meyers racing to get "framed", I figured that out when watching that Roadkill episode and it blew my mind to know that I seen em going by and I said to myself "someone's going to make them a cool 55 chevy" and today we have Blasphemi. The E R Thomas Motor car co, maker of motor kits for bicycles, motorcycles & cars in the early 1900's made the famous "Thomas Flyer" the car that won the first and only around-the-world race, the Thomas Motor car company was bought out by a C A Finnegan who later shut down the car business. Doing some Genealogy research I believe I'm related to E R Thomas, and I don't know for sure but I think Mike Finnegan could be/is related to C A Finnegan, that would be really strange!? I also met Mike and Dave in Las Vegas @ the Monster Carlo meet & greet at the EBC brakes event, road my Suzuki DR 350 to Vegas from Oregon, but that's a whole another story! lol!

its a cummins their rods are good for 1200hp stock. he might however blow the headgasket which is kinda common, but if they plan on twins they need to firering or o-ring it anyways.

Like Hoovie's Prius!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Built 7.3 is my vote

Instantly what i thought when i seen the video caption.

Need to have greg aberella come down an build him a motor or go thru his with him an do a collaboration with his channel

Them 12vs love to party with nos. It'll be fine

Yup😂😆

Hell yeah brother! I love blondies channel too! I want to see this one blow up

Yeah I've been watching all the videos cause I'm going to cleetus's high school in the fall

🤦‍♂️

@@MrDavidelliottjr?

BRP Adventures he’s a hard worker.

This

I third this

would be awesome to see an older 2 stroke engine installed, if they make em small enough.

@@michaellittlejohn8723 there is like 2 cylinder Detroit diesels but they are still pretty big and don't make a whole lot of power

Where they're going, they don't need a headliner. Do they make headliners that make you go faster? _ _

There is a street racer near me that has done exactly this.

I have that in my 300

@JP Garage nah, most of them are tucked into a corner, looking at the way he puts his leg while he drives, it looks like he'd be fine

This is why you have an arm switch

@JP Garage most nitrous systems have wot switch inline so it won't spray at idle.

Exactly what I'm saying. A factory galaxie was only 3400. I highly doubt it's over 4000. May even be lighter than factory

Right how about the duck calls in the exhaust hahaha

@@matthewstillings5134 lmao that is probably the first video I saw from cleetus. Didn't subscribe then but later on sometime lol

Vive le Quebec!

@@andytaylor1588 I assume this was meant for the comment above is which is weird because when I clicked that comment it brought me here

James "The toolbox" Taal

That's Mister Taalbox to you!

Or two.

@@andytaylor1588 OR THREE?

@@Skwisgar2322 - Three compounded, getting slightly bigger each time!

...and a fogger with the fuel enrichment system.

And twin solid rocket boosters from Elon.

James with a nitrous jet boat, I'd watch that

Nitrous AND propane FTW ;) Nitrous is perfect for diesels as they're not so mixture-critical as petrol (yes, I'm English lol) so you can run a big hit & bring the fuel up to match without cremating pistons or exploding manifolds. Give it a little propane for the launch/help with spool-up and hope the drivetrain can handle the torques :D

dan mackintosh I see what you mean.but to be honest it’s easier to run turbo on a Cummins than nitrous.you don’t get power instantly but you won’t have to worry about what the shot of nitrous will do to your engine.

@@camman9235 Oh yeah, i don't mean ditch the boost lol. (note my suggestion of Propane to aid spool-up ;) ) Obviously Diesels are so suited to 'charging it'd be crazy to go to N/A but I'm thinking run the Nitrous and Propane as well... No worries what the N2O shot will do as going lean doesn't hurt oil burners, they live by it.

totally agree! Two of the most laid back easy going guys.

It wasn't their call, it was the email farmers.

Roadkill went from hot rodding to an always rushed can-we-make-it oh no the engine overheated again platform. Maybe they didn't have a budget and maybe Finn and Fry wanted to go a different route but either way cleetus is legit.

Discovery channel killed everything roadkill stood for. Worst mistake motortrend made was selling the business to discovery

FACTS!!!! That would be great

Nope.. diesels love Nitrous

Propane runs cooler, safer , and cheaper

Make it happen, only you hold yourself back! Don't worry, I gotta take my own advice as well

That's what credit is for!

@@DMort22 you are correct. I'm 18 saving everything I can about to start school in a month in a half to be a mechanic. I have a job and save everything I can while keeping my old corolla on the road😂😂 I'll get there soon.

@@danielw6366 😂😂😂

@@LWNDmax whatever you do stay away from drugs. I know that's common sense. But I know way to many good people on that path.

Its Skreetcar

That would just make me do hapoy

On the PFI speed channel I heard Cleetus say an f350 that was pulling the stacker had a catastrophic engine failure and they had to drive to Amarillo and tow it up to Colorado with that black Ram 2500

Roadkill colab could be pretty good I think...

@Marty Fisher I realize this, the race with Mike is pretty exciting already, but a full on challenge like the ine they had with MCM would be fun to watch...

We should have it done next week. Had a major problem with the block but it is resolved now. Coop will tell more about it in an upcoming video.

45 gallons? must take a year to fill it up and cost 1,000's

They should turn the vette-cart into a blown hemi powered leroy

That is the race I am waiting for too!

@@forget-me-notlawncare9821 so glad its coming be killer to see

@@forget-me-notlawncare9821 it won't be a contest, Leroy make a pile more power and can put it down better.

I know a guy who used giant gas line but only on the front half of his car. It was because he had a 1000 shot under the back seat and was running it into the gas line

Blistikmoo that’s funny cause I did the exact same thing lol I use to watch roadkill religiously.

Personally I'd manual swap it just buy a 2wd 12v wrecked and spare engine and better trans
