He runs various engines (mostly US V8 stuff but some Honda stuff too) on his engine dyno and records the effects of different mods. This one might be of interest to @NotoriousREV 8-)

I love his channel, he’s a machine at putting them out. He has about 30 years worth of video from his days on various car magazines.

For those that don’t know him, he’s well known in the US for being the first to do a lot of big power turbo LS tests on stock blocks and internals and he’s set a lot of records with them (1st to 1000bhp and 1500bhp etc.)

He’s even built a supercharged version of the LB9 engine in my car (it made 370hp naturally aspirated after new cam, heads, I take and headers) and 500+ with a centrifugal blower.

I've only discovered his stuff recently (via Sloppy Mechanics) and it's a gold mine of great content, he replies to comments as well which is always nice, he gave me some advice on ring gap for turbos in one of his vids.

He’s been on a couple of engine masters videos when they were doing different tests on LS engines. iirc he was on the on the one when they were testing intake volume and they built a massive beer keg shark intake :lol:

Possibly his worst video ever.

I hope the owner slapped him for all the bad gear changes and 8k+ Revs

Yeah, he uses Westechs engine and chassis dynos. I’m not sure if he actually works for Westech or is just a mate of Steve Brule.

I’ve got him as a friend on Facebook now :lol:

Speaking of Metros.... if you get bored of listening to this music, jump to 4min15s. If you claim you didn’t emit a snigger I call liar.

What the actual fuck, this was so hyped for weeks and we just get Leclerc doing a lap of Monaco to terrible music and a random florist :lol:


Shame on you Ferrari!
How about not having a sig at all?

Not a Yuchoob, but I will stick it here anyway.

Obviously the exhaust volume could do with being turned up a notch or three, but that launch is rather impressive. 8-)

Impressive. Stupid hazard lights though. Fine when you're jamming on on a m-way but there should be a track mode where they get switched off.
