On this episode of Stay Tuned, the ‘Bird gets Blown! Tony and the guys finally fill the giant hole in the hood of their ’74 street freak Firebird project with a big and burly 6-71 supercharger, and hit the dyno to try and make some horsepower. Jammed with 462 cubic inches of Butler Performance Pontiac power and a 4 speed transmission, will the Firebird FINALLY have the big power to match the big attitude? Does this antiquated, 85 year old supercharger technology have the juice to make Hellcat power? Stay Tuned to find out!

This is becoming my favorite car show, really great group of guys. Lots of momentum and optimism and fun being had.
Why didn’t you guys build for E85+? I don’t know anything about these cars so maybe there’s a good reason but I’ve built and tuned a few high compression turbo cars and E85 is such a game changer. I remember the first time I switched over and I’ll never go back.
Love the burnout sweet car
Hardly seemed to rev very high? What rpm did he let off at? Good result anyway. A real nostalgia build.
Very good presenter! Interesting without trying to be to dramatic of commercial. Good level of information.
🤠
I love your storage….. You all r Gangsters…. Your bad a** is not so bad either….❤️🔥 new subscriber
@finnegan999 I have 3 words for you and the guys at roadkill….(Cotten this means you) street freak shootout
Best car show man! No useless acting, drama and over the edge promotion. Down to earth, cool guys working on cars! Fav show so far! Love it
I fix Drum Brakes all the time on my driveway. I know every sequence of pins and clips on and off.
But can you get Hellcat power to fit under the hood.
36:55 some trumpet came past
Good choice for transmission, hope it isn't stock clutch. In stock racing, we lighten the transmission, by running two gears, instead of four.
That thing is heavier then my Lotus 😉
Does the Dyno guy know how to read a rpm gauge? Or know how to raise it 500 rpm and just let off BEFORE it hits the limiter? I mean good lord. That's aggravating…
This is first episode I ever watched from you guys and I’m hooked. Love the content
tony man you let me down! i thought u were testing a blower from 1936 – youre still one of my favs but that was super false advertising
Hi
I have an 871 BDS Kit on my 74 T/A it is awesome. I put on a long time ago, but it all came back watching you guys. Wanted to let you know that the bolt for the crank was not to short, it is supposed to go behind the pully's directly into the balancer not sure if it will cause you any problems or not, I ended up machining out the center so that I didn't have to pull the pully's if I wanted to remove the Crank hub. Love this car and you show.
I love the Pontiac stuff. Keep it going please!
BMW makes a completely self-contained electric power steering pump that is the pump and it's reservoir in one unit I saw in an episode on YouTube they were building a car called project binky
I watched the episode where the burst plate blew on the hemi, y'all spent all night wrenching on that thing lol Tony had to step in a tell him what to say lol it's ok bro we all get nervous.
is AV gas(1100LL) good for this? cause its contains lead
so where is this hellcat power???? Click bait… Click Bait
I remember teaching myself how to rebuild drum brakes back in the 80s when I was about 16…
You talk about learning the hard way! I made 80 walk around trips to look at the other side..😂
You’re burning that right side tire on every pull. This car desperately needs a new rear differential and a driveshaft and as you mentioned, a new gearbox! Maybe a 5 speed.
Hell turn it up!
