Default horsepower tv

I just turned it on and they were working on a LS1. I just started watching when they put roller rockers, hardened pushrods, and FAST intake on.

pretty cool, they are doing better stuff than that one episode, I guess it all has to do with their sponsors though.

anybody else watching it, did they put other stuff on earlier?

I turned to it when they were installing an oil pump, double roller timing chain, and then what you seen. Man I was watching the TV like a little kid, like I couldn't move from the TV. Anyway, they said that they were glad the young guy on the show blew the engine doing a burnout so they could do this project. Later on they will be adding a blower. Can't wait for that show.

It is called "Project LS1 GUN" I believe. They build the motor for a future supercharger install.

Good show, learned some things too, but you can tell its very sponsor driven, as already has been discussed. But they gota make money somehow...

I haven't seen the other episodes, did they keep there eldelbrock shorties, the slp flow pack, and the flowmaster catback..... that gave them 10rwhp...........?

I saw it earlier in the year. Seems like it was only 350-360 rwhp or something. I was disappointed. They could have done alot better, but I guess when you get the free parts, you have to run what the sponsors give you.

i have not seen the show for a while, but i think the reason why the supercharger did not do much is that the lsa on the cam was a 112.
