One of the best shows on TV, Ill most likely be watching to see what they run. And for everyone who talks about how slow they go, they are at a slow track!

You can say that again. They could only get that GN to run a 14.3 with all those mods.

I agree. I cannot belive they are on TV for their car knowledge. They are terrible. They are getting a little bit better but when they first started on super tuner TV they were just lame. Oh well. You can't let shows like this get to your head. At least they didn't bash the L98 too bad.

Im not going to judge them yet, I hated them on the tuner show but their attitude was actually different for some reason. I do however feel they explain cars on this show so the normal guy understands and to us car people they sound less knowledgable for it! Thats my take on it, Im sure owning a shop they have a ton of knowledge just dont work with or build it up so the smartest of us understand it!

they ran pretty good for a bolt on blower kit and catback exhausts!!! if that track is slow then WOW. cuz those that was on a stock L98 with stock exhaust manifolds, stock TPI, and rear...... and for all i know, it was on a stock ECM.

What channel is this crap on? I've always hated car tv shows simply because they never do them justice. They always go the mainstream way with big names like "Flowmaster" "Edelbrock" and crap like that. Never use the small company stuff that is usually better like Spohn, or Delteq, etc...

Werd ,they might know their stuff but I guarentee not as much as a gearhead whos been doin that work for years.I think they should fire them and get some hardcore gear heads with years of experience.Because they look my age so obviously they dont have a lot of experience.If they do fire them the new ppl they get should be at least 30 years old or older.Just my 0.02

yep early 30's with ******s

I don't think those cars were as equal or even running as they could have been but, it was nice to see some thirdgens on tv that arn't being jumped or set on fire.
