What day did these air, I thought they were going to be on last weekend. All I saw was a bunch of re-runs.

no kidding... I don't know much about the 454 SS truck but I thought they had MORE power....very disappointing.. a lot of potential though..i guess...

I always heard the 350SS was a faster truck, go figure that one

It started last weekend (the new season) should be new one this weekend also.

They are building the 454SS on this weekend's episode, I would imagine they will build the L the following weekend.

I could be wrong, but they'll probably keep it speed density. I expect them to go with a vortech & I FMU.

Yeah - maybe I should enforce the copyright simply because of the movie... :hammer::hammer:

If I had done it I would have made it so the pictures lasted as long as the music :hammer:

Well your wish came true, they installed a mass air and stand alone trans controller.

The turbo setup was different, but I kinda liked it.

That was in a bad area, looks like it would pick up alot of dirt, road grime. I would have ran the filter up through the bed. Yall know what the underside of a truck looks like when you drive it everyday........:icon_eek:

If someone finds the video from todays show, can they post it up. They showed in the guide that on trucks was going to be something else. So never hit the record on it before I left the house this morning. I guess now I am not going to trust what the guide says is going to be playing anymore.

Good show... I'm not real hot on the underbed turbo myself, but maybe he'll change my mind when the results are in.

Hey, what is up with NLOC? Every thread where the SS vs Lightning shootout comes up gets closed. I have never said a bad thing about Big D & I know that he as got his reasons, so I mean no disrespect to him; BUT, does he really think that this shootout is going to steal Lightning Fests thunder?!? :icon_rolleyes:

who knows? maybe... it is getting a lot of pub right now over there.. the thread is now 17 pages long.. well, it is for me at least.. I would still rather go to LFest myself and where he is going is closer to me than LFest.

Kevin mentioned the NLOC forums on the new videos I added so not sure what's up with that...

Rear turbos are very popular I have seen them on vettes and trucks. It is just a fast dirty cheaper way of installing a turbo. Making them fit up front is a lot more involved.

it does have kinda a cool sound to it.. my only concern is when the intake is that low, you best not get caught out in a rain storm or flooding..

They should have turned the intake up, and mounted the filter in the bed.
