Hellcat Killer? - LS1 on the DYNO on NITROUS 

WHAT NOBODY TELLs YOU HERE IS THAT THE CHEVY LS IS 1000% FORD IN DESIGN. IT IS A REGURGITATED 427 HIGH RISER ENGINE AKA RAISED PORT 351 WINDSOR. THE GM ENGINEERS BASED THE LS BLOCK OFF THE FORD 4.6 MOD MOTOR AND THICKENED THE WEBBING. STOCK TEKSID 4.6 BLOCKS ARE KNOWN TO SUPPORT 900HP SO IT WAS A NO BRAINER FOR GM ENGINEERS TO COPY ITS DESIGN AND THICKEN THE WEBBING. ESSENTIALLY THEY ADAPTED A CAM INTO A FORD MODULAR BLOCK. IT USES A FORD OILING SYSTEM WITH ITS CRANK DRIVEN OIL PUMP. MODULAR MOTORS IN TAXI'S HAVE GONE 1,000,000 MILES A TESTAMENT TO FORD SUPERIOR DESIGN. IT USES FORD STYLE CROSS BOLT MAINS DATING BACK TO THE EARLY 406 FORD MARINE AND NASCAR ENGINES WHICH LATER BECAME THE 427 FORD HIGH RISER. IT USES A TEN BOLT HEAD PATTERN WHICH SEALS BETTER FOR THE USE OF POWER ADDERS LIKE NITROUS, SUPERCHARGING AND TURBO UNLIKE THE OLD CHEVY DESIGN WHERE THE BOLTS ARE FASTENED TO THE DECK OF THE BLOCK UNLIKE THE FORD 10 BOLT DESIGN WHERE THEY ANCHOR INTO THE WEBBING GIVING IT GREAT STRENGTH. REMEMBER THE SMALL BLOCK FORD 289ci MOTOR WAS ALMOST 100LBS LIGHTER THAN THE OLD SMALL BLOCK CHEVY DUE TO IT SUPERIOR DESIGN. THE LS HEADS ARE WINDSOR STYLE WHERE THE KIDNEY SHAPED COMBUSTION CHAMBERS IN THE HEADS ARE FROM THE EARLY FORD HI-PO 390 MOTORS DATING BACK TO 1961. THE INTAKE RUNNERS ALSO CURVE INTO THE INTAKE VALVE KEEPING IT AWAY ENTERING AIMED AT THE EXHAUST VALVE. THIS DESIGN CREATES A SPIRAL INDUCING COMBUSTION CHAMBER WHICH GM GRAFTED THE HIGH RISER PORTS ONTO. THE LS ALSO USES FORD STYLE ANGLE PLUGS. WHEN USED WITH POWER ADDERS THE POWER JUST MULTIPLIES AND FOR YEARS IS WHY THE SMALL BLOCK FORD'S STOOD ALONE WITH NO COMPETITION FROM THE CHEVY SMALL BLOCK WHICH JUST COULDN'T COMPETE. THIS IS HOW ALL THE 5.0 CLASSES WERE SHAPE AND THE ONLY COMPETITION FORD HAD WAS ANOTHER FORD. THIS IS WHY GM ENGINEERS DUMPED THE OLD SMALL BLOCK CHEVY IN FAVOR OF FORD DESIGNS WHEN THEY CREATED THE LS. NOT ON DESIGN ASPECT OF THE OLD SMALL BLOCK CHEVY LIVES IN THE LS. THE LS IS COMPLETELY BASED ON FORD DESIGNS. THIS IS NOT THE ONLY DESIGN CHEVY/GM HAS STOLEN FROM FORD. ASK ME AND I WILL EDUCATE YOU. NICK, ALSO TELL VASILIS HIS LS IS NOTHING MORE THAN A GENERIC FORD MOTOR..

This has a powerful message way beyond N2o. Probably the coolest boss in history not to mention a level of respect this world needs more of.

I am 66 years old and I am retired but I would love to teach kids what I learned over the years.

Take note, the little LS1 puts out 547hp and pretty much blows away all of the big block boat anchors I've seen come through Nick's Dinosaur rehab.

He is this kids boss and is doing everything he can to help him and teach him, and probably wants nothing in return...that's the way it is supposed to be and you sir are awesome...glad I found your channel...superb gentleman

NICK IF YOU NEED ANY HEMI CARS OR PARTS PLEASE LET ME KNOW MY FATHER AND I THAT'S ALL WE RACED FOR MANY MANY YEARS AND STILL WOULD BE RUNNING THEM TODAY IF THEY WEREN'T SO HARD RO COME BY FOR PUTTING THEM INTO ORIGINAL CARS BUT YOY STILL HAVE TO HAVE TO HAVE FUN WITH THEM!! GOOD LUCK I THINK IT'S GREAT YOUR WORKING AND TEACHING THE YOUNGER GENERATION MY DAD IS 75 AND STILL BUILDING AND HELPING PEOPLE AND I AM 50 AND WISH I COUKD PASS IT ON TO MORE YOUNG PEOPLE!! GOD BLESS BUDDY!

It's sad that lot of kids I see never get this kind of mentoring. Lot of kids have single parents that cant get their kids ahead. Lot of parents tell their kids they cant do this or that or tell them they dont need to do or that but its ok to be drunk or high or homeless and hungry. I seen kids run away from home and live in the streets. Never no good future and it seems like their parents like that. I wanted to be a successful car mechanic but, no family support, not enough money and trying to survive on my own, making minimum wage. My dream diminished years ago. These days it's trying to stay alive and getting my health together

It's refreshing to see somebody tightening lugs properly.

That guy is happy as hell

Good kid. Man we need more like him with more mentors like Nick.

I love the way nick is so humble and respectful, and doesn't talk crap.

I hope it never goes to TV it's much too good for that.

Still love to see a young man and an older guy get excited together about the same thing!! It remind me of my self and my father and every one I have ever helped do the same thing!!

gotta love a guy that takes younger people under his wing, long live muscle !

Vasilli is a hard working young man, God willing he will be around to continue the legacy of Nick's Garage for many years to come.

you stay on nicks elbow and learn that trade,equal to him,a million dollar education,and all you gotta do is sweat,hang in there kid,the learning is in the doing,NICK, good job waking up that young mind

That kid is very lucky.

Great relationship of respect between these two men. Nick is bringing this young man along nicely.

What a cool day, it's so nice to have the younger guys with the same passion as you have Nick.

Nick and Vasilis , thanks for sharing your video, I love the Garage series you do Nick and watching Vasillis work with you makes me smile and remember my times growing up in my Dad's shop and laer working for another gentleman who also mentored me much after my father passed. Watch and learn all you can Vasillis, money cannot buy the time and patience a great teacher gives, and above all give respect, for you are very lucky to train under an Ace mechanic like Nick. Keep up the great work and thanks again for sharing it all with us!!!
