Chuck from Horsepower TV I came across this on youtube by accident. Its Chuck from the old Horsepower TV. It's called Chuck's garage and there is a whole series of these things. No BS, no frills, just car talk. Check it out........

Not bad, I always liked how Chuck and the other guy went back and forth with Ford and GM.
On a side note, in the second video, while installing the rubber seal for the top of the Holley intake - Chuck cuts straight through the seal to make it the correct length and then glues it.
This might work a few times, but in my previous line of work, we dealt with o-ring seals all the time. If you had to cut one, you always cut at a diagonal on both ends to increase the mating surface between those ends and ensure a seal. Just a small tip if anyone ever needs to cut an o-ring seal to make it work.

Lmao, I was gonna say the same thing.
I used to watch them all the time. I recently started watching the Power Block with host Courtney. She's a hottie. They recently put a solid roller cam in a 302 and it made HUGE numbers. They were pulling that thing to 8000 with the victim Jr intake on it. Think it had AFR heads too. Numbers were just shy of 600 on an engine dyno IIRC.
