Experts test a 400ci Chevy small-block crate engine to see if it lives up to its advertised power; further review determines if David is justified in his love for dual carburetors and high-rise tunnel-ram intake manifolds.
Running a carburetor versus trying the new and easy self-learning EFI setups; David Freiburger, Steve Dulcich and Steve Brule strap a 5.3L LM7 engine to the dyno.
In a head-to-head shootout with two engines, a Blueprint Engines crate Chevy 383 small block takes on a Mopar 383 hand built by host Steve Dulcich; to make this a fair test, the crew equalize as many variables as possible.
The guys test various levels of destruction of a set of Hooker headers on a 550-horsepower, 400ci small-block Chevy from Blueprint Engines.
Learning a good combo for 470-plus horsepower from a stock, bottom-end 5.7L Dodge Hemi.
The guys figure out how much of a difference CNC ported cylinder heads make for people who are running a typical street-cruising small-block Chevy V8.
