Sorry, the videos were from a few different sources and when rotated to be right side up it half screened it.

As far as info on the vehicles the only one I can speak clearly about is mine. The red 4th gen.

As far as I know its a regular cavalier motor with a cobalt s/c. It is quick for sure. Like I think 8.40's 1/8th mile. He didn't have a good 1/4 mile run the last I saw because he was having fuel issues and has been working on it.

Yeah I know what's done to most of them, but I mean I can't say specifics cause I don't remember everyone's stuff. It's not like I take inventory of what they have done lol.

Just saying, I know general stuff about my buddy's cars, not everything down to header brand or pushrods or bs like that, but most people were expecting at least SOME details on the cars.

I know the black Silverado is s/c, the Red 5th Gen is CAI headers and tune, the white 5th Gen is turbo'd, the cavalier is s/c, the TBSS is some bolt ons, the mustang is headers, exhaust, and gears, a couple of the trucks are cammed and bolt ons. Besides mine, the red 4th gen, which is stock ls1 with custom lca's, and a 75 shot (none in this video), that's all I know.

Yeah, we have a blast. The guys send me videos ever so often and I like doing this stuff. Some of them were decently done, others well......y'all saw. But sometimes this stuff is spur of the moment stuff so we do with what we have lol. But thanks for all the comments and watching.
