If you do some research on the company, it's a PR nightmare.

Not if you go through NRE to buy them.....they get quite the good treatment.

I just saw this episode yesterday as well. I was about half pissed off at the mis-information being spread. I'm sure someone that really knows the facts will get into an argument with someone that saw this show, and they'll think since they saw it on tv, it HAS to be true.

We'll give them the benefit of the doubt that they were referring to the new TCI that has the 6 gears built into the 4l80 case.

Ian at Extreme 4x4 knows his **** when it comes to 4WD stuff and trail rigs, but apparently doesn't know **** about engines.

I like watching the Horsepower guys change cams. I think they deliberately try to bang every journal and lobe on cam bearings.
I feel sorry for their women when they come home drunk...

Lol!
Horsepower tv is a joke.

The mustang guy is an asshat and stuck on windsors and mod motors
and the fat gm guy is somewhat more reasonable.

They got rid of the fat GM guy and replaced him with a young kid didn't they? Young kid seems pretty good.

GM has had Displacement on demand for a while on their 6.0 truck engines and larger passenger cars. There was something else Ian mentioned about the Gen IV engine he said they had variable valve timing too.

But I still love watching powerblock. I really want to see their LS-GUN buildup again.
