Headers vs Manifolds - 426 Wedge on the Dyno! 

Nick I spent over 25 years in the US ARMY, and have been around the world. I have seen many many things some bad, some very bad. I have seen the worst of what human's are capable of doing, and in the same breath I have seen some good thing's in human's that would amaze you. But it was always the small thing's that proved the most! I have been watching your show now for a little while, and I have seen what some would call "small things" the kindness and love for what you do. Some people may say "he is in business he has to be nice to the customers" but that's not it. Like hanging of the flags that people send you, EVEN if you already have one. Or moving EVERYTHING AROUND to take a picture in your challenger with a fan's granddaughter so she may give her grandfather that love filled Christmas gift that is just that much more. It's those small things that most may not realize how that can change a person's day or dare to say even life. Hearing their name seeing what they sent you being added to your shop on one of your videos. It's those "small things" that love of your customers and fans, that comes through the videos you put out. That makes this world just that much better. So to you and yours at home and the shop from myself and my family and dare to say my country, may you have a Merry Christmas and the most blessed of new years. And keep showing the world that 1 "small thing" from putting up a flag, snapping a photo, or simply loving what you do and sharing that can make this world a little bit better.. Thank you for sharing that love.

This is what make Nick's Garage different..........this is real , Nick your genuine and your heart is at the right place, noit sure if someone else would of let someone with boots sit in the freshly painted car, this is why you are NICK. I am proud friend for many years , you are who you are.

Such a sweet family, and that little girl will remember that for life. Enthusiasts through and through, what a nice gesture

When you consistently see an engine builder have engines turn over within a second, you know they have the knowledge to give you a fantastic build and that's what Nick does. Way to go!

I''ve never been East of Manitoba. If I ever do go out East, LMC,The Guild & Nick's Garage are about the only places i'd care to visit. I like how Nick takes the time to be so nice to the kids. Definately a stand up guy.

Nick, you need to be a grandpa too. There is nothing like it. They are a the very best of all of us. God bless them all.

Nick you are a good man. You gave that little girl and her Grandpa a memory for life. Merry Christmas to you and your crew.

Received my Nick's garage sweatshirt hoodie, love it and I get compliments all the time

Yay! Just opened my gifts, got my Nicks Garage Hoodie from my wife!!

We need more people like Nick on this world, just kind hearted with a true soul.

What a super nice man, loved how he went out of his way to make an unforgettable memory for the young lady and her mother!!!!

Look at the smile on the little girls face. You made her day Nick.

Your customer will be happy with this setup. No header leaks and responsive carburetion (thanks to Nick). Should be fun to drive!

That was sweet with the little girl. That's what memories are made off👍

The pictures with the young lady was a fantastic thing to do. You are a special man

This has to be one of my favorite episodes!!! The 426 Max Wedge with headers & with Exh. Manifolds... And Nick showing that nice family aroud his shop & taking photos & videos!!! How cool is that?!?!?! Great program here!!!

In love with the 70 boss

Good comparison. Nice to see how an expert sorts out problems.

You know when you have a good boss who helps you make up your mind to keep a car due to engine failure and help rebuild it. That's awesome

Grandpa sure is going to be surprised and wished he was there Nick your a good man in so many ways

Nick, I've just discovered your channel and I've been looking at as many videos as I can each day. I usually do not ever write to any of the VLOGer's I watch however, I just had to comment on how nice a guy I think you are to take the time with this little girl and treat her so special! You are truly a wonderful guy to do that for her and her grandfather. This is how we get little girls to grow up and take an interest in our sport! You're the BEST Nick!!

Oliver and his engine: Nick is a smart man. I used to work in a cabinet shop. On evenings and weekends the boss used to let us work on our own stuff using scrap material and the shop equipment. I offered him some dough one time to cover electricity, wear and tear on the saw blades etc. He said no, he likes it when we come in....He said "you guys working and trying new things on your stuff means that you learn and if you screw up, you screw up on YOUR stuff not a customer's lol.....I used the same attitude when I opened up my own place and hired people.....

OMG, that ending brought me a to a tear in my eye. Nick, you're a good man.

That’s what memories are made. What great guy you are to take the time out of your day and take some pictures with her to share with her grandpa. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Nick, you brought tears to this old man's eyes. Your not a phony or show off, your the real deal and mister that is a rare option! Super video, by the way I am 70 years old now and pray for one more birthday and I think it came early!!

As always...VERY impressed as to your attention to detail...also love the fact you give your customers exactly what they ask for..also impressed at the fact you run these motors at their full potential before you ask for payment...true sign of an honest man...you back up what you sell,your a rare breed Nick and that speaks volumes about your character not only as a businessman but as a great human being! Kudo's!!

Nick, you sir are a class act that very few can follow. You probably made that little girl’s year with the shop tour and photos for her grandpa. I wish I lived close enough to come by and visit you and the shop. I’ve only just found your channel in this last month, but I really enjoy watching. My son works in a diesel performance shop and also watches your channel, he says you’re a genius and an engine guru. From what I’ve seen so far his praises of you fall somewhat short of your actual abilities. Thanks for putting you shop and employees out there for the world to see, there are few like you.

You’re a good man Nick! Pics with the kowalski project- what a generous treat for that family

Oliver seems to be a really nice bloke. I hope you have a great career in engineering.

Nick, your a super guy , fantastic with the little girl and her family, a hero within yourself, Thanks, John from Harwinton, Connecticut

You are so wonderful to look after the little things, Thats how they all start!

Taking time out for someone else's family is a really nice thing to do. Nick and his guys sure sound like great people. Hello from Texas!

Nick, your the best. Thanks for the care and kindness.

It’s already Christmas here in Australia so merry Christmas and have a good day to all.

Nick you are to gentleman when it comes to your fanbase thank you for all you do I keep the wonderful videos coming can't wait for the Kowalski project to finish even though it's just starting have a safe and happy holiday

Nick your an amazing man always taking time for your fan no matter how young

Great video Nick. Ellie was great touched me right in the feelz.

Nicks Garage is the ONE AND ONLY-No imitators or imposters!

I learn every time I watch. I didn't know how guys made the 426 wedge. I had 383 s and 440s. I was sure headers made more horse. I put them on my 66 Cornet it was like an amazing tune up. High rise also made like 30 more horse. My 70 charger 440 had a1050 3 barrel but the fuel pump could not get fuel fast enough. It was dogging after a few seconds and I could never figured it out.i sold it and they made it work but flipped it end over end 3 times. 24000 miles.

Lock at the smile on the girl😊 Nice job Nick

Great video! The wedge build was awesome with the manifold/header comparison but taking the time to shoot a few photos with the young lady to surprise her grandpa - priceless! Nick, you made a grandpa very happy and gave a young lady a very special memory that she will not soon forget! Best wishes to all for an awesome 2020!

Wonderful stuff. Thanks for all you do. Merry Christmas to everyone at Nick's Garage!

so good to be able to see a classic motor like that on the dyno

Great video! So much teaching that you do! And creating a car enthusiast, who now is a little girl, but in the blink of an eye will be a driver, is wonderful!!!

nick you hyave a heart of gold. that little girl will never forget that day.

This was an episode full of smiles. Tony knows how significant the Kowalski car is so i'm sure he'll really love the pictures and video of Ellie being the first person to be in it after paint. Merry Christmas Nick and crew.

Nick is such a class act. His giving that little girl and her family the time and effort for grandpa was fantastic. And he is so LOVING with his Mopars!

We recently did the 440source 439 ci kit with 383 block, edelbrock RPM heads with Lunati Voodoo 268 duration hydraulic flat tappet cam, 780 holley with holley street dominator intake. On California 91 we got 504 HP and 540 ftb torque. ..these kits are awesome for 383 owners!

That was very heartwarming Nick thanks for sharing with us and have a very Merry Christmas from Minnesota.

That Challenger will be passed to Nick's Grandaughter,,for sure,,thanks Nick,,,,,May the allmighty have with us for many more years!

nick - that little girl will have some great memories that only you could have given. That was awesome. Headers vs manifold test was more than I expected, interesting.

If this show and one or two more (with decent sponsors) where accessable to the mainstream throughout the 90's and 2000's, there would likely be more muscle on the road. THE GREAT SAVE NICKS GARAGE!

Now that is one class act. Much respect to you Mr Nick. It's good to see in this day and age that someone is making the world a better place.

You are an amazing man Nick. We love you and we look forward to the next hundred years with you continued success.

Nick you are beyond awesome! Will faithfully watch your channel next year!!

Great Show as always ....I enjoyed .... You can tell when someone loves his job and it shows

That was great that you took a lot of time out of your busy schedule for the girl and her grandpa. You are a great man and crew at nicks garage.

schweet,this show really exemplifies the integrity of a great shop and those that own it and work there,great job guys this has definitely become a major bucket list item to come hangout at Nick's Garage

Nick, that was awesome that you took time out of your very busy day for a few pictures with Ellie for her grandfather. Priceless!

Just awesome watching true professionals at work, Nick you really are a great person, going the extra mile to get some beautiful shots with the youngster, well done! and all the best for christmas and new year to you and the crew. Stay safe. Pat. Scarborough. UK.

you are such a kind person, Nick!

Thank you I ALWAYS wanted to see "proof" and I can make a better decision now thanks to you!

Here it is! Here we have it! Nick is the MOPAR King!

Another great video. Love your videos and your garage! Very insightful test with and without headers and glad you mention the air/fuel ratio and timing when making these changes. Some people just make the change and do not adjust. So nice to put the girl inside your "Kowalzski" project - that car is going to be awesome! Thank you and Merry Christmas!

great video but the perfect ending she will remember this for years to come. Merry Christmas Nick and everyone

Love the generosity and what you do.

Merry Christmas to Ole st.nick and everyone in his workshop! Thanks for giving the gift of best car channel on youtube.

Merry Christmas Nick and all the boys at Nick's Garage! Thank you for all your hard work on this channel throughout the year.

There's no school like old school! Nick knows his stuff! Love this channel!

Love it ! I’m looking at almost the same setup for my 71 RR.. been wanting to stroke my 383 , have the same manifolds on now.. Gives me an idea of what could happen if I went this route. Thanks Nick !! Love your work.. - Rich in NY

What a first-class guy you are Nick, I wish more people would take the time like you did in this video for kidsthat would probably be a lot less of them getting in trouble if they had something for their hands and mind to do that's constructive... Again thanks Nick for doing that for this little

Nick, making dreams come true, one dyno run at a time...I would LOVE to have that Boss 302.

Kudos Nick, Much Respect and Merry Christmas, Cheers

That end... such a beautifull gest.... Absolutely lovely!

What a big heart! Nick's awesome!!

Merry Christmas master Nick to you and your family, and the amazing crew! Thank you so much for your teachings!

Happy Holidays to you and your family Nick. Thanks again for the super Party last Saturday, it was perfect..Stephan

Thanks Nick always enjoy you sharing your passion for cars and people.All the best fron NZ.

One of your best intros!! Merry Christmas! What a down to earth guy you are Nick!

That's called HOSPITALITY, Nicks a great person all around.

Merry Christmas from another old Mopar man. In the day headers on a stock 440 mag gave little SOP gain. The 2 1/2 w/h-pipe was the top exhaust from any mfr. I was a Direct Conn. dealer in the 70's. The DC manual was a fantastic guide.

Nick, not only do you have a love for the best car's ever built " MOPARS" But you have a great heart. God bless you all and your family Merry Christmas and Happy New year to you and yours

Merry Christmas from my family to yours Mr Nick. Have a happy and healthy holidays. Keep the awesome video's coming. Thank you for sharing your projects with me.

another great video, Nick, and the photo op at the end made me smile. would love to see a video of ‘Grandpa” when he first opens the photos of his granddaughter at your shop. That would be a treat!

20 hp and 20 tq is a lot to give up on the street. Happy holidays. Keep up the good work and videos.

Nick you are a great guy for letting Ely set in your fresh Challenger . Merry Christmas from Illinois!

That’s a difference, Merry Christmas Nick and to all the guys, a Happy Healthy and Safe One!!!

That's awesome Nick!!!! It's awesome to see how you take care of fans and customers!! Merry Christmas from Tennessee!! - Kevin Scott

What an awesome man and a fantastic mechanic Merry Christmas Nick and to all your guys at the shop

love and kindness for our fellow man are the only possessions I can think of that are free and at the same time priceless. you my friend have both. Happy Christmas Nick!

Nice work guys! That little girl was very happy!

You sure know how to put a smile on everyone's face. HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM SOUTHWEST FLA, TO YOU AND YOURS.

Great training opportunity for Oliver!

Thank you for giving us a great year of dedicated Mopar videos! Merry Christmas!

Thanks again Nick love the show- shout out from Newfoundland

That deep rumble by the exhaust outlet...man oh man!! I just wish I could find that kind of music on Spotify! And to take your time with that girl, not many nowadays would do that

How special, you would do this for a young Child, and her Papa. Magic. Not many would do this.

Merry Christmas Nick and crew. Great video as always and inspirational to always show what matters most.
