Small Block Showdown – Chevy 350 vs. Ford 351 Windsor

April 5th, 2023

This is it. We are all set to see which one is best – once and for all. We can end this decades long argument with a couple of similarly built engines and a tug in the dyno, right? Not so fast! I can already hear the Ford purists clamoring about the 351C (a big block, btw) and the 351M. The Chevy guys are hollering about the LS and the 400 SBC. Well, this is how it’s gotta be: Both these old school crates will have stock bottom ends – except for the camshafts. Cams will be of the high-performance Read More

1200HP Turbo Camaro SS

January 20th, 2023

Here we have a sixteen-year labor of love. It is artfully displayed in the form of Justin’s 2002 Chevrolet Camaro SS. After purchasing the car from a used car lot, Justin began the transformation that has taken this car from less than stock to the 1200hp beast you see today. As a dual-purpose vehicle, this Camaro can dominate on street or strip. It all begins under the hood with an all-aluminum 6.0-liter LSx V8 engine. Premium internals include boost pistons and Eagle connecting rods. The crankshaft is stock, and the cylinder heads are ported Wilkes 862s. Brian Tooley Racing is Read More

1967 Ford Fairlane – 9-Second Street Sleeper

July 20th, 2022

Allow me to introduce Michael Tagg and his beast of a 1967 Ford Fairlane. Sometimes you see a pretty car and say, “Yeah, but how fast is it?” You might even assume that, because it looks nice, it’s a trailer queen or all show and no go. It would be a mistake to think such things about this all-motor Ford Fairlane. It is both pretty and fast. You can tell by the scoop that great things lie beneath. Sure enough, we find the coveted Shelby aluminum 427 cubic-inch engine (stroked out to 482 cubes). This one is topped with a Read More

Square Body Chevy C10 4WD on 44s with Procharged Big Block – Hub Dyno

November 4th, 2021

Going down a bit of a different path today as we take a look at a mud truck on steroids. I can’t imagine a gearhead that doesn’t enjoy an off-road adventure now and again. What better way to navigate that out-of-the-way hunting, camping or fishing destination than in a jacked-up square body with some 44-inch tires, 1127WHP and 1039 lb.-ft. of torque at the ready? Before Steve spins it up on the hub dyno, let’s see what makes this high-powered mud bogger tick. Under the hood is an all-aluminum Steve Morris built 540 cubic-inch (Chevy platform) Dart Pro 1 Racing Read More

Liz Musi Prepares for Street Outlaws Season

July 15th, 2021

Lizzy Musi has got a brand-new car! It’s been built under the direct supervision of her father, Pat Musi, himself a legendary street/drag racer. The car is purpose built to run against the baddest street cars in the land on the Street Outlaws No Prep Circuit. Let’s kick the tires on this vintage Camaro. Under the hood of this 1969 Chevrolet Camaro is a nitrous fed 959 cubic-inch Pat Musi Racing engine. This motor is put together with a dual purpose – to withstand the terrors of burning massive amounts of nitrous and to win the Street Outlaws No Prep Read More

Oklahoma Street Sleeper – 1000WHP Chevy Silverado 1500

January 23rd, 2021

The owner of this Oklahoma Street Sleeper shop truck will look familiar to most gearheads. He is Monza from the Street Outlaws cable television show. I know that he drives a Camaro on the show (not a Monza). It’s complicated. This short video features Monza’s shop truck; a 2001 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 2WD Shortbed. This truck looks and sounds like a stock shop truck (with exhaust mods) but runs like a race car. Let’s zoom in for a closer look. Monza raises the hood to reveal a 6.0-liter V8 engine with a 125hp shot of nitrous and a pair of Read More

800WHP Supercharged Fox Body in Bimini Blue

December 15th, 2020

Greetings street racing fans. Meet Mario and his Fox Body Notchback Coupe Mustang – in Bimini Blue. As a World of Wheels (Chicago) winner, it goes without saying that everything about this car is outstanding. For Mario, this build is a labor of love that has been thirteen-years in the making. Come along and we’ll have a closer look. Under the hood is a 347 cubic-inch aluminum Dart Sportsman engine block (9.0:1 compression ratio). The cylinder heads are Victor Jr. by Edelbrock. They have 210cc combustion chambers and they are neither ported nor polished. The unusual looking intake is a Read More

Vintage Mopar Drag Racing – 1968 Dodge Dart

September 21st, 2020

You are in for a rarified treat with this drag racing video. The feature car is not turbocharged, not supercharged and not running nitrous. This mighty Mopar is naturally aspirated and packing plenty of ponies. In this day of power adder insanity, n/a cars on the dragstrip are as rare as hen’s teeth. Let’s check this vintage Dodge out on the eighth-mile. This Simpson Speed Shop creation is a 1968 Dodge Dart with a built 5.9-liter V8 engine. The cylinder heads are Trick Flow and the intake and carburetor are Edelbrock. Shifting duties are handled with an automatic transmission and Read More
