Can barely stand to watch Nick's videos sometimes...But this build is pretty good. At least he did this one right. Watch how this car will be faster than his all out drag build the "Freedom Rocket". I feel bad for Nick actually. All of the time and money and his car barely runs mid/low 9s. That car needs a setup TT/Sleeved 427 setup for boost adjustability and fine tuning.

It's a pretty sweet ride. I personally am not a turbo person, always liked the torque curves on root style blowers myself. That said, it seems pretty sweet. He needs to get a second drag setup for wheels so he has one for both cars.
I like watching his videos, kid works in a steel mill, drives camaros and believes in America..he's good in my book. |

There is often some extra "commentary" but this project has been enlightening to me!
I think even without fuel mods that a Hellion TT kit on a stock shortblock LT4 and a camshaft swap could return 800 rwhp on 93 octane. |

Yep he certainly has made a great advertising series for them. I never would have looked twice at a TT setup on a pre-supercharged LT4 but his video makes a strong case.

I'd give Nick the sauce on my race tune. Don't need twins.

Well, I wasn't talking about everyone else. Was specifically talking about this build. Don't care what anyone else does with twins. Plus, it was a polite way to give him a call out cus I know he's on here. haha.

I'm not a fan of his. And I'm not sure of what is soo special about him that someone thinks we need to be talking about him in the first place. I saw some of his videos from C-Fest where he raced a close friend of mine...dude in the blue Camaro. And I heard that this Nick character is a bit of a cocky prick. He's one of those guys that when he doesn't do good in a race it's because he was just "tuning" his car or the tune wasn't properly dialed in or some other bullshit to save face.
Man he ain't tryna race you. You'd bitch slap him hard. |

I don't mind him or his videos. Pretty smart move actually by those youtubers. Buy yourself a cool toy, take videos of you enjoying your toy, get views by people that also have the same toy or wish they had it, make money for taking videos of you enjoying yourself so you can buy more toys and enjoy yourself even more and make even more money while you do it. The cycle of youtube bliss
