Hellcat Killer? - LS1 on the DYNO on NITROUS 

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

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.

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

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

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!!

I hope it never goes to TV it's much too good for that. Nick's is the real Underground Garage.

That kid is very lucky. 40 years ago, at age 18, I working at Pontiac Pete's shop in Brooklyn. I had the 68 LeMans about 6 months and just got the M/T 421. I was ripping out the 389 and prepping the engine compartment when Pete came by. With his help I had the 389 out and the 421 in one Sunday afternoon. From that day on Pete was the angel on my shoulder. Your are great mentor. The way of the muscle car will never die. Tommy

gotta love a guy that takes younger people under his wing, long live muscle ! my hats off to you Nick 😎

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

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.

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. Your really lucky to have these guys on your team. What a great shop

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!!!

Much respect to you all. Love what you're doing, and I appreciate you sharing with us all on your awesome channel!!!!

Nick, your an awesome guy. Thanks for helping your mechanic and teaching him right way to do things. Much respect sir!

I absolutely love how nick helps his coworkers as much as he helps his customers, if not more. You only get what you put in, and it shows his young padwan is worth his weight in gold. Good job guys, i have a 91 rs, hopefully i can ls swap after basic. Ya'll give me the inspiration i need.

I applaud your engine work - big block torque and HP from the mighty LS1, as well as having the faith in your own work to put it all on the line in front of those closest to you. Ive seen a lot of burnouts and you'd have to go to a drag strip to equal that one - WELL DONE-!!

Love ALL the videos, but this might just be my favorite just because of how much fun you guys had. Awesome! I had a smile on my face the whole time you were testing.

Vasilis (cool name!), you have the most important and rare ingredient found in any success story. WORK ETHIC! If you ever decide to leave Nick's don't waste time building a resume. Just hand them a copy of this video! Nick, calling you a great boss would be a gross understatement. You have a new subscriber. Thank you!

Nick and Vasili, you are awesome! Like your passion and love for those engines and your cheaky smile after nailing the 700hp. Always enjoying your great work and the interesting and moving stories around the engines and cars. All the best for you and your families. Yours Ulf.

What a great Boss, taking time to teach his apprentice and enjoy the moment with him!! Nick is the best!

so much respect to this guy on teaching apprentices the right and wrong ways. I am a 21 year old Diesel engine builder apprentice so i can relate

As a former bottle baby I have some advice for those that want to run NOS so you can learn from my mistakes. There are several things you can do to keep you from scattering your motor (and your wallet). First install a wide open throttle switch. That way if you forget to let up on the NOS button when something goes wrong your motor doesn't keep revving when you let up on the throttle. I buzzed a 440 to around 9 grand from this mistake and melted a piston. Second install a low fuel pressure cut off switch so if you lose fuel pressure the motor doesn't lean out a cook the motor. Third for any kit over 100 HP I strongly suggest a dedicated fuel system just fur the NOS system. If the kit is over 150 it is almost mandatory from my experience. The only thing this system should share with the normal fuel system is the gas tank. Separate pick up, fuel lines, pump and pressure regulator. For any kit over 100 hp forged pistons and increased ring gap is a good idea also. NOS greatly increases the cylinder temp and the rings expand more and cause the piston to separate from the first compression ring locking up.

Don't know why but I am very happy for the guy. I was smiling like a possom eating shit.

Vasilis- your car is awesome and you are VERY lucky to work for a guy like Nick. Keep up the good work to you and Nick! Great channel.

Thanks for mentoring him Nick. That’s how hot rodding lives on in the next generation!

It was so soothing to have the whole thing go down and to able to see it all thank you hope u get the lifters and other harden parts good luck 😎

This man is good hearted and is still a little boy inside... He still loves it so much. Kudo to this man.

I was laughing when the blue duster was rolling out with that beautiful sound and the wife asked what I was looking at. Hahaha.

you know whats really cool .. is there is a 1982 RD 350 Yamaha in the background .. I had an 81 for many years .. those bikes were/are the greatest.. nice burnout as well

Νίκο και Βασίλη, τα συγχαρητήριά μου. Πάντα τέτοια! Με πολλούς χαιρετισμούς και αγάπη από Ελλάδα!

Awesome to have Nick helping, and, letting him use the dyno......! Great channel!

those ls motors have 6 bolt mains,they love boost and make massive power and are strong as hercules....guys are throwing blowers or ebay turbo kits on junkyard truck 5.3 ls engines making close to a thousand horsepower for couch change.some day my trans am will have one. its the white beast in my avatar,for now i just have a vortec 350,roller cam,650 double pumper on an edlebrock rpm intake,lots of fun.

Old drag racer that gave up after having first child with disability. I loved watching the two of them working to get the power out 70 years old but you made a smile on my face. SOME TIMES IN LIFE YOU SEE PEOPLE YOU WILL NEVER MEET I ASK GODS BLESSINGS ON NICK HE HAS THAT SOMETHING SPECIAL PEOPLE LOOK FOR IN A FRIEND.

That was cool as hell. Nick seems like a fantastic guy to work for. Love these old motor heads.

Well done guys, those Ls motors are great . Thanks for the great videos guys

Had a 77 T/A 400 4spd with a 200 shot back in 84. What a car, it looked bone stock until you got on it. Go Vasily Go! Thank You Nick for all your videos. It reminds me of the old days!

How is it possible that no matter if I go forward or backward in time Nicks Garage videos remain strictly & frighteningly awesome.

I love this channel and the work you guys do, impressive is an understatement!!!

That young guy V , is going to get far in life. I admire his attitude , working very hard and trying to learn all he can from Nick . That’s unfortunately rare in young today . Nick , a great teacher . V is in the best place to be !

My nephew did a nice install of an LS1 into a BMW E36 complete with air con. There was a lot of suspension work and a nice set of Brembo brakes off a Porsche race car.. No NO2 though.

First engine I've ever seen come out with the hood still on. 😁

For nitrous, I mounted a $1.00 microswitch on the carb flange with scrap sheet metal. That way the nitrous and water only hit at full throttle. Similar setup on the brake pedal when released. It worked great for bracket racing and was super consistent. Our cars were crazy on our 60ft times even as weather changed, this is Oklahoma after all. I hope this helps some one. Take care from Oklahoma, Mike and Vee

Awesome video . Great job Vasilis very well built . Best wishes .

This is by far one of the best videos I hav seen from Nick’s Garage.

I bought the 1969 American Motors AMX 390 dual quads Hurst Go Package special order in 69 specifically because Hot Rod magazine had given it the " Corvette Killer " nickname ,and those weren't the Hurst package model I ordered ,I stopped driving it when I bought my 1st Corvette in 1976 and parked it alongside my wife's AMC Rebel Machine ,both cars have been driven every year and are still bone stock but they do need to be rebuilt & restored ,both cars have just over 30k miles but over 10,000 of those miles are track miles and street race miles .

Great video thank you for sharing, work hard and always be willing to learn and you will go places. Keep up the great work, respect 👍🤘

Awesome video guys, been watching the channel for a few months now and one of the best things is your passion for every car you work on, it really shows through and congratulations on getting such high numbers out of that motor, you guys are real world engine builders and mechanics! Well done. stay safe. pat. uk,

We've all been there! The anticipation, The anxiety, The excitement, The adrenaline rush. But most importantly..... The VICTORY!!!!!! Great video.....

That is one hard workin’ dude! Respect for the hustle. Nick seems like a pretty cool boss to work for; as long as he pays attention Vassily won’t have any excuses for not being a master technician, especially on the old iron!

Haha way to put in work nick... That video made my day to see how it worked out for you. Ive been drag racing for 14 years in super pro and i know that feeling when you see your numbers on the dyno. Way to go nick..

Nick, you have a great team at your shop and for making these interesting videos.........keep up the good work and congrats to your team.

How could anyone dislike this young man. He has an infectious personality.

Nothing is better than being able to teach someone the knowledge that is willing to work hard and retain it.

Epic creation of rubber crumbs , smoke , noise and smiles at the end.

Love it , just wish I didn't miss a the good stuff . Hope to see you at the track in 2018 .. Really impressed with that LS , you're doing great work !

Love it ALL! I wish that I could get to be around you Nick, in your shop to pick up your vibe in person. All the best, going forward. Greetings from Australia!

this guy is good, pulls out the engine and doesn’t take the hood off. this guy is good.

This is awesome that Nick is mentoring this young man ! WE need more people in this world like these guys ! great to see and they know there stuff !!

It's refreshing to see somebody tightening lugs properly.

Man I needed to see this! I was smiling the whole time. I can't wait to start building that 360 magnum I have on the engine stand.

Really enjoyed this episode , lots of good feeling and anticipation. Hello from Australia :)

You have a great friend and mentor there. Do everything you can to listen to what Nick is teaching you, some day it will pay off but most of all you will have those fond memories for life!

nice repair on the oil pan...Nick must have a waiting list to work there...great video...

This is outstanding

You're a lucky guy Vasily,great boss and a great shop...have fun.

Right on..good job guys.awesome to see people working together like that 😉 just subscribed!

That was awesome. The joy on his face is priceless!! Way to go young man!

Hands down my favorite subscription! Those smoldering clumps of rubber were almost cartoonish & made me LOL for real.

NICE going, guys....that was an impressive dyno run ! Vasily is like a proud Daddy ! :-)

Very exciting! At around 22:00 I started laughing from the stress. Loved watching y'all operate together. Love that LS motor. They are going to love trying to catch you. Lol

Congrats on the great result Vasilis ! Numbers to be proud of ! Bravo !

Well,I needed a big grin so I watched it again!!! Good job IROC man and Nick's joy is Awesome 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😇 😇😇 😇

I love the shot of the moon. Amazingly beautiful

What a great guy Nick is being there to help him, So many bosses wouldnt care & this one goes out of his way to help.

Greatest video!!! I was just as anxious as the kid!! Great boss, good man...

I have seen this episode before but, It never gets old & I am a Chevrolet fan at heart! To see that Camaro with a L.S. engine makes me smile! I would rather see a 1973 sb 400 w/4.125 stroke, bored .030 over to a 406 & then use a stroker kit, circle track cam/summit offroad, aftermarket aluminum heads 202/160, 373 gears, That's what my brother had in his 79 Z-28 & it ran like a CHAMP!!!

Beautiful Duster man.

Humble as always.it’s Been a while since I last visited nicks garage I remember when this kid had just started to work for nick.nice to see that he has learned a lot from nick.🎉🎉🎉congratulations.

I just ran across this video on accident, I really enjoyed the video. There is nothing more fun than working on an engine that is worth putting time into, and having a nice place and great equipment to work with. Good clean fun and what an awesome way to learn new stuff. I have built a few older generation Chevy Small blocks and one big block, I have never worked in a LS motor but am looking forward to putting one together someday soon. Good luck and may you all have continued success at Nick’s garage! I really thought they were going to try again with a 250 shot but common sense prevailed..

Made in Canada.Impressive. Talent.Tutoring. Most important-a work ethic, equals success.

That boy is super lucky to be learning from such experience and sweet little motor too

Is it wrong that it brought tears to my eyes? Reminds me of days past with some special friends. The look in the young apprentices eye after he sees the results tells the story, way to go. NO TIRE LEFT + POLE OF MOLTEN RUBBER = PERFECT BURNOUT 👍👍👍

Nick is the real humble guy still enjoying power and passing the torch. Great guy.

That was a fuckin great show. Best burnout I’ve ever seen and I’ve seen a ton. Incredible.

This was a good one. You could feel his excitement right through the screen. LOL

Nick did good showing up on any day of the week. especially for his apprentice.

Yeah I know what you're talking about !! That burnout was awesome Love watching you guys. A happy new year to you all , keep it fun keep it safe

Nick, I don't know why you don't have more subscribers. This is one of the better channels on the Tube.

I think you're the best Nick I look up to you man my father's a old hot rod builder but has never been able to some of the stuff I see you do it's my passion in life I love car eat sleep breath motors ❤

Great work.. that feeling is the best in the world, congrats!

Great videos. Well made, Impeccable detailss

I honestly could not stop smiling...great job👍👍
