For anyone interested, The American Muscle Car TV show was taping at Engine Systems in Tucker Ga. A few weeks ago for the show that airs tonight on Speed vision @ 9:30PM.
We built 3 motors for the show titled “the fastest muscle car engines of all time”. We did an L88 Chevy, a 427 tunnel port FE Ford, and a 426 HEMI for them to dyno test. The motors were to have things done to them that would have been done by places like Yenko, Mr Norms, and so on. I have no idea what kind of spin will be put on this show, but I can assure all you guys that MOPAR will be properly represented. Though the Hemi is a pump gas motor, it may have a couple more twists of the wrench than the others, but don’t tell any of the Chevy or Ford brethren. Everything had to be put together from the parts we had available. The carbs on the Hemi were a little small, and gave us a small hiccup transitioning between circuits, but the end result should please all you guys.
The camera man and I worked together for National Geographic and other networks on diving specials, and I worked several times for the producer @ Coca Cola in years past, so it was fun to catch up. Man O man what a small world we live in.

cool show, nice motors, but im thinking i spent a lot more money than i should have to make the 800 hp mine puts out stock motor w/ inline Pro Systems Holleys? what was i thinking? i could have gotten stock heads, stock cam, stock intake, and only 426 cubes to make 820 hp that show was supposed to prove who was the baddest of the bad? it proved nothing at all in my opinion. kudos to Darren though, nice to see some badazz mopars on TV! not trying to take anything away from the motors or the guys that built them...but a factory blueprint buildup? not gonna make 820 hp.

I was disappointed as it would have been cool to see a "factory spec" shootout.
