Drag Racing Engine – X-Block Gets Dyno’ Tested for X-Mas

Nick’s Garage turned Christmas week into a holiday tradition built entirely around horsepower, pouring shots of Ouzo before strapping a freshly built Mopar X-block to the dyno. Viewers immediately recognized the engine as Chrysler’s high-performance 340, a small block that punched above its displacement against the 350s and 302s of its era. Between the shop-family comment section and the raw, door-open exhaust note, this is less a spec-sheet video than a shop full of engine builders sharing their holiday. Watch to see what the pull actually makes.

Epic Test Drives – Muscle Cars and Pony Cars

by Wes

Fast Lane Classic Cars in St. Charles, Missouri turned driver Tom Abbett loose on a rotating lineup of Ford, Chevy, Buick, Pontiac, and Plymouth muscle for nearly fifteen straight minutes — no superchargers, no turbos, just big American V8s including a 572 Hemi and a 427 Corvette viewers still praise for its sound alone. It’s less a single car review than a moving soundtrack of what Detroit and Fast Lane’s shop floor sound like together. Watch to hear which engine note sticks with you longest.

Breakdown/Review: 1969 Pontiac Firebird Ram Air IV 4-Speed

by Wes

Pontiac built only 157 Ram Air IV Firebird hardtops for the 1969 model year, just 55 of them Trans Ams, and this freshly restored Firebird, pulled from The Brothers Collection, carries its original numbers-matching example paired with a 4-speed Muncie. Muscle Car Of The Week walks through what makes the RA IV’s idle and powerband so distinct from lesser Pontiac V8s. Watch to see one of the 102 standard Firebirds that got it.

Does a Performance Exhaust Increase Horsepower? (How to Install an Exhaust System)

by Wes

ChrisFix sets out to settle a garage argument that never seems to end: does a performance exhaust actually make more horsepower, or does it just sound like it does? He tears into a full cat-back install, high-flow cats, an X-pipe, and straight pipes, and puts the results on a dyno before and after. Along the way, one unscripted moment involving his own mother became more famous than the horsepower numbers themselves.

BUD LINDEMANN VINTAGE ROAD TEST 1973 PLYMOUTH CUDA 340

by Wes

By 1973, most of Plymouth’s real performance had already been regulated away — except for one engine nobody expected much from. Bud Lindemann puts this Cuda 340 through a full road test, and the stopwatch tells a story that surprised buyers who’d already written off the smog era. Watch to see exactly how quick a detuned Mopar could still be.

PULLED OVER at 100+ MPH – C7 Corvette Stingray

by Wes

A weekend freeway cruise turns tense fast when a Hennessey-tuned C7 Corvette Stingray, pushing roughly 600 horsepower through an ECS supercharger, spots a patrol car mid-pull at triple-digit speed. The comment section has turned into a swap meet of near-miss stories from viewers who’ve had their own close calls at similar speeds. Watch to see how close this particular encounter came to going a very different way.

MUSCLE CAR STREET RACING ACTION – 600-1200hp +Cops

by Wes

Urban Hillbilly Videos returns to its roots with this street racing compilation, tracing back to the old Kearney Street Cruise and the Highway 13 scene where the channel first built its following. Turbocharged and nitrous street cars — estimated in the 600 to 1200 horsepower range — go head to head while local authorities try to keep pace. It’s raw, unpolished footage from a scene that has largely gone underground, filmed by people who were part of it long before cameras showed up. Watch to see why fans are asking for more.

830 WHP “Mayhem” 1969 Dodge Charger by Detroit Speed

by Wes

Detroit Speed dropped a blown modern HEMI into a 1969 Charger and built out 830 wheel horsepower, a number so high that TheSmokingTire had to publicly correct its own original estimate. Viewers immediately compared it to Roadkill’s notorious General Mayhem, just cleaned up and sent to finishing school. Watch the full build.

Tim Allen’s Hemi Ford Pickup

by Wes

Tim Allen’s 1956 Ford pickup hides a genuine Chrysler Hemi under the hood, a build the shop dialed in across sixty-plus dyno pulls until it settled at 640 horsepower and 670 pound-feet of torque. It is a cross-brand swap that breaks every rule of Ford-versus-Mopar loyalty and turns a basic work truck into something that can embarrass purpose-built muscle cars. Watch to see exactly how this unlikely combination came together.

Chick in a Procharged C7 Corvette takes down Viper!

by Wes

At Street Car Takeover OKC, a Procharged C7 Corvette running just 7 psi of boost — around 570 whp on a manual transmission — takes down a Nitrous Outlet Viper running without spray, all over a sandwich bet. The driver, known in the comments as Miss Stangkilr, wasn’t who the crowd expected to win. Watch the full Roll Race and see the bet get settled.

Drag Racing on 26 inch RIMS – WTF?!

by Wes

Alan Robinson’s Chevrolet Impala wagon weighs 4,720 pounds with its 26-inch street wheels and four JL Audio subwoofers still bolted in, runs a stock-bottom-end 6.0-liter engine at just 10 psi of boost, and still posts mid-11-second quarter miles at Hot Rod’s Drag Week. Getting to the line means swapping two of those 98-pound wheels for drag radials first. It wasn’t even the car Robinson planned to bring. Watch a wagon nobody expected to be fast prove exactly the opposite.

2400hp Unicorn Vette!

by Wes

This twin-turbo, nitrous-fed Corvette showed up to Texas Invitational wearing two 88mm turbochargers that punch straight through the hood, backed by a 2,400-horsepower rating that its own team hasn’t even been able to confirm yet. A dead fuel pump capped boost at roughly 1,500 horsepower on this outing, leaving another 1,000 horsepower and a promised 200 mph pass still on the table. Fans can’t agree whether to call it a unicorn or a bull. Watch to see just how much of that power actually made it to the ground.

Cute Girl First Time Driving 500hp Muscle car!!

by Wes

BigBlockNova468 hands the wheel of his freshly completed 500-horsepower big block Nova to a friend who normally drives a Lexus IS350 — and spends the entire clip visibly more nervous than she is. Commenters can’t decide what’s better: her composure behind the wheel of a solid-axle muscle car, or his face every time she blips the throttle. Watch to see how a Lexus driver handles 500 horsepower on the first try.

by Wes

A stock Dodge Challenger Hellcat and a stock Dodge Viper lined up at the WannaGoFast half-mile event at Sulphur Springs Airport, Texas, with barely over a mile per hour separating their best trap speeds. Peter Dunn’s footage reignited the long-running debate over supercharged V8 power versus the Viper’s lighter, more aerodynamic chassis. See which car actually posted the higher number across multiple runs.

Top 10 Modern Crappy American Cars

by Wes

TFLtalk’s Emme, Roman, and Nathan rank their picks for the worst American cars of the last 40 years, and the comment section immediately pushes back. Viewers defend the AMC Gremlin’s bulletproof inline six, question whether a rebadged Suzuki or Daewoo even belongs on an American cars list, and make the case for AMC’s forgotten performance models. Watch the list, then see why longtime owners are not ready to accept it.
