those guys are a bunch of retard brand loyalists(although..its probably not there fault... just the tv show makes them make sponser stuff preform better than it really does). They forged a motor...then supercharge it and only manage mid 500 whp... but i'll watch it anyway because most other car shows are worse.

forged and blown and only mid 500's at the wheel? sounds like a pretty smart idea.... and a safe reliable engine... pretty good for some retards

good..make sure you buy the flowmaster exhasut that they advertised with the royal purple oil. It was also funny..when they built the motor for boost and then through n2o on it for a while instead of boosting it right away.

I'm curious to hear what they say about that kit. I'm sure they'll praise it since
it was most likely given to them. I've see a STS C6.

that was at 7.5 psi i think. Never knew how clean that kit was. That IC is nice too. I'd throw it on a dyno though rather than the tuner they give. i think at 8psi its got 550 in it.

I wish the show was a bit more technical and didnt just drool over whatever theyre working on. No mention of specs on the turbos/WGs/BOV or anything.

its funny...they made the same numbers with a stock ls2 as they did with a built ls1. Hurt my feelings..no, I just feel sorry for all the people that go out and buy a flowmaster exhaust and think it'll do what they promise.

I Tivoed the show and will be watching it before I goto sleep tonight. I since nobody got dirty during that install? I wish all installs could go as easy as they do on these shows. Everything fits perfect, no fighting to get a part in or out, no swearing or throwing things, no wrenches, screwdrivers or sockets falling into abyss and and everything is always clean
