Once he brought Pete Harrell in to tune the car is when it really picked up, he knew how to make the power safely and how to put it down. If you watch Pete's YouTube channel(Real Good at Doin Stuff) he dives into some of the changes he made. Since Pete does his own engines he kind of took a little shot at Steve when he commented that Garrett gave him a 50lb ceiling on the boost originally and he didn't know what that was all about lol.

I know alot of the guys here probably can't stomach the Cleetus McFarland stuff but when he goes racing it can be pretty interesting.
