Season 118 of 18 Episodes

  • 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, with the result shocking them.

  • 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.

  • The crew compares a Holley Tri-Power setup to an Edelbrock Dual-Quad kit.

  • Boost is good; forced induction makes huge power; a look at the two most affordable implements of boost, a Paxton Novi 1200 blow-through-carburetor centrifugal supercharger setup and a Weiand 174 Powercharger roots blower.

  • The guys weigh in on 2.5-inch-diameter versus 3-inch diameter exhaust pipes and mufflers.

  • Learning a simple combination for a 600hp big-block Chevy; many people building engines like this are torn between the streetability of a camshaft that uses hydraulic roller lifters and the race-level rpm capabilities of the solid roller lifters.

  • Mopar vs Ford engines.

  • How to pick the right size exhaust header tubes for an engine.

  • How to safely use nitrous oxide with any engine.

  • Putting speed parts on a used engine.

  • Cast-iron manifolds versus mid-length headers versus long-tube headers; the fans feed the crew ideas of power tests they want to see.

  • The hosts spell out the differences between two camshaft designs, a hydraulic roller cam setup versus the old-school flat-tappet cam, depending on one's desire for power and durability.

  • The guys explore whether price determines performance in a muffler.

  • The guys run a dyno compare you've probably never seen before.
