They most likely added 30#'s to the nose of the car with the brackets and pulleys. A .525 cam give me a break.

I'm suprised nobody mentioned Lou Santiago on Musclecar , that guy is like McGyver with steel and a welder. I really enjoy that show.

I have also seen Stacy's new show, gearz once or twice, he had that zebra painted bronco from when he did was still on trucks. I really want to see how that BIG dodge truck, IIRC St. Rock, that he was doing turned out, has anyone seen if it's been on yet?

That big guy that look like he was on steroids is gone now, I hated him, but liked him more than the slightly gay one . I forgot about muscle car, I havn't seen it in so long, are they still doing decent stuff? What about extreme 4x4 are they doing cool stuff as well?

I saw this episode as well, and they used all GM Performance accessories. They could have used much better parts for the same cost and built a much better Motor, but as it's been stated earlier, They didn't pay for a thing.. Must be Nice!

Yeah, the GM "Hot" cam package. Big deal. Terrible cam compared to so many other choices. But, it's funny because there ARE morons out there that watch the show and think, hmmm, I can order that from GM and be REALLY fast!! Sad.......


Oh, and I'm glad I'm not the only one that said WTF when they put a distributor on that thing!! It's also funny how they didn't bother dyno testing the set-up! Idiots!!!


The only show I like is Musclecars. I think Lou's pretty cool and he sure can weld!! I'm biased to the show because I dig the Challenger they're working on. That's been a cool project. Plus, the roll-cage and tube chassis for the Shelby Mustang clone is a work of art!!

anyone see the similarity of the Horse Power TV guys only being able to talk about/use products on the show who are from their sponsors.. and this website in which we are only allowed to talk about products and stuff from OUR sponsors.. if not you're banned?? hmmm..

yeah its called the "who's lining my pockets" game..

Anyways... Stacy David was the best guy they had on any of those shows. He was real, knew his stuff.. did realistic projects that normal people can do.. and wasnt gay.

The old guy in HP TV is a friggin idiot.. the kid is ok.. and the only reason he is there is to appeal to the younger TV audience.

Trucks is now just stupid..

Extreme 4x4.. no point in watching that show, unless you have $50k to spend on modifying something.. and have about 100K worth of tools to use + your own shop.. and I CANT FRIGGIN STAND the fat guys canadian accent...

Muscle Car is cool... projects take forever though.. hurry up and finish that damn mustang already and get to the charger...Lou looks like a cousin of "B. Real" from Cypress Hill...
