@Davinci12007 Год назад

@@TheRoguelement You do realize that most of these videos are customers bringing in engines for "tuning?" Have you ever seen him change a cam or rebuild anything? NO and that's because for these videos these are street engines that are almost all in restorations. He mentions, if you payed attention, what it's going in, what year, if they are numbers matching.. He's no claiming to build "race engines" and that's not what these videos are about. You need a new LS build for 1,000HP to prove your ability to match up after market part, go spew your ignorance over on the Engine Masters sites. Guessing that over there you'll be way out of your league too.

Good job on the 454 Nick!!! I was really impressed with the power and torque the 454 made, amazing numbers, that will make the Nova a very wicked street machine. When I saw the dip in the graph I figured there was something going on in the valve train, and I knew that Nick would figure it out, which he did with some help from Car Guy daddyo. That was an excellent diagnosis on the valve train harmonics, now she runs like she should. I loved the video George, especially the part where you went outside to record the dyno run, great job. Thanks for braving the cold to do that. My Monday is now better.

Always a pleasure watching your videos and a real pleasure in meeting you a couple of months ago (as well as Vasili). Sorry I couldn't make the Corvette Saturday back in Nov20 for the Discovery Channel, my car was in storage. Maybe next time. This 454 is kick-ass bad, amazing video, love the way you approach things "old-school". I just picked up a 1970 Corvette, 454 (LS5), it's original, but I want to have it looked at. Dealing with some "run-on" at present, plus I would like to give the engine a good look-over. And you're the man. I don't know how to go about reaching you by email, maybe I'll drop by and call before I come. Keep up the fantastic work you and your team do, it's a dying art but fortunately there's people like you who are passionate about, love and take pride in their work . Keep well, Mastora!

Great video,love the old school builds,and how you describe what’s in the internals,and explains the dyno set up with torque horsepower and Carb set ups..Sure your not related to Al pachino cos you sure sound like him..Awesome job that Nova is going to be mad on the street.👍🏻🇦🇺😎
