Talk about a joke CNC ls1 heads, fast intake & throttle body, crane gold rockers, crane cam. This all produced a whopping 367 r.w.h.p. The funniest thing was these H.P. TV guys were impressed, and said they'd get more out of it with their hand held programmer, lol. What a f*cking joke. They need to come on tech and learn about ls1 cars, lol!!!!!

The parts they used are from the companies sponsoring them what did you expect them to say....

I know that, but their combo is f-up, hell I can throw any engine together but if the parts do not work to compliment each other, I'm just pissing in the wind. I guess that program is for a LSnewbee, lol....

I saw that too. I didn't know you could mate up a 78mm LSX intake with a 90mm throttle body either. Atleast they went with some nice longtubes on like those crappy shorties they had on there before.
Doing donuts is definately not the way to break in your new clutch either.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought this was a joke....

Their combos always suck at power. I have also noticed that whenever they dyno anything it always dynos way lower than normal, as if they have a mustang dyno or something.
