RE: Horse Power TV
Really ticks me off that they said it's going to be another couple weeks before they finish up the build. They spent the whole time today showing how to put on a CAI and short throw shifter. I mean come on, you can't label an episode to be about a stroker build-up and then just show me how to put on a CAI. I wanna see the final numbers already!!!!

No, no, no.....it was American Muscle Car on Speed Channel. They were conducting dyno tests on factory spec'd engines(with obvious blueprinting and other "legal" tuning) . These are the type of specs that the vintage true street racers go by. Yes, that Hemi put up some scary #'s, and the side-oiler Ford 427 put the Chevy Mark IV(i.e. 396-427-454 family of engines) to shame(some 100+hp more).

RE: Horse Power TV
It's not fair to compare a new crate engine to a 60's engine. I'm from the Pure Stock days of racing in the late 60's to 70 and all the cars were preaty equal off the showroom floor. All within a second.Hemi, Chevy & Ford. It's when you started tweaking. Ignition, headers, carb,slicks etc. Is when you started to get things better. By the way I heard one of the new Hemi crate motors at a car show today, sounded burly butthe engine wasnoisy too.
