In Cleetus McFarland's latest video, the team faced a series of challenges in their quest to make their Mustang go a six-second pass. They implemented a nitrous spooler to aid in turbo spooling and reduce converter heat, made suspension changes, and added weight to the nose of the car. However, their first run ended abruptly when the car shut off. Undeterred, they made a second attempt and achieved a 7.20-second pass, but encountered a backfire and smoke, indicating a problem. It turned out that the breather line had blown off again, causing an oil fire.

Determined to overcome these setbacks, the team decided to overnight a crank trigger and try again the next day. However, their hopes were dashed when the crank trigger failed to solve the issue. Faced with limited time left in the track rental, they had to call it a day. Despite the setbacks, the team remains resolute in their mission to make the car go a six-second pass.

This video showcases the challenges and frustrations that come with pushing the limits of performance. It's a reminder that even the most experienced and skilled teams can encounter unforeseen issues. But true enthusiasts never give up. They analyze the problems, make adjustments, and come back stronger. The pursuit of speed is a relentless one, and Cleetus McFarland and his team are determined to conquer it, no matter how many setbacks they face along the way.
