Building a 1,200HP Supercharged Z06 Corvette

(NARRATOR)>> FOR PURE RACING ENJOYMENT IT'S HARD TO TOP MODIFIED MANIA. TODAY ON ENGINE POWER IT'S GONNA GET LOUD IN SAINT LOUIS. PLUS WHEN THE CREW FROM PROCHARGER BRINGS IN A CORVETTE AND A HOT NEW SUPERCHARGER YOU KNOW YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A GOOD TIME. [ engine revving ]

(MIKE)>> WELCOME TO ENGINE POWER. WE'RE AT TRICITY SPEEDWAY JUST OUTSIDE OF SAINT LOUIS TO BRING YOU ALL THE ACTION FROM MODIFIED MANIA. IT'S THREE DAYS OF FULL THROTTLE ACTION PACKED HIGH HORSEPOWER RACING OUT ON THE DIRT TRACK.

(PAT)>> AND WE HAVE OVER 100 CARS COMPETING HERE FOR FIRST PLACE AND AN EVER INCREASING PAYOUT. NOW WE'RE JUST HERE ON DAY ONE AND THERE ARE GUYS STEAMING IN HERE FROM ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES. THE CREAM OF THE CROP IS HERE TO RACE ON THE DIRT AND YOU'RE GONNA SEE ALL THE ACTION.

(MIKE)>> EACH OF THE THREE NIGHTS DRIVERS TAKE PART IN HEAT RACES TO QUALIFY FOR THE "A" MAIN, THE BIG DADDY IF YOU WILL. THE WINNER OF THE "A" MAIN WINS THE NIGHT. EACH NIGHT OF RACING FUNCTIONS AS A SELF CONTAINED EVENT WITH NO CARRYOVER INTO THE FOLLOWING DAY. THURSDAY'S WINNER TAKES HOME $3,000 DOLLARS. FRIDAY IS WORTH $4K, AND SATURDAY'S FIRST PLACE FINISHER WILL POCKET A $5,000 DOLLAR PURSE.

(PAT)>> THE "A" MAIN RACES START WITH A FIELD OF 26 CARS. 16 OF THE CARS ARE DETERMINED BY POINTS EARNED IN THE HEATS AND QUALIFIERS. POINTS ARE ALSO AWARDED BASED ON PASSING OTHER RACERS, GIVING AN EXTRA INCENTIVE TO OVERTAKE AS MANY VEHICLES AS POSSIBLE. EIGHT MORE CARS WILL QUALIFY FOR THE "A" MAIN BY PLACING FIRST OR SECOND IN THE FOUR "B" MAIN RACES. IN ADDITION THERE ARE TWO PROVISIONAL SPOTS.

(SHANNON)>> JUST GETTING INTO THE SHOW IS TOUGH. THEY HAVE SEVERAL RACES THAT YOU HAVE TO GET THROUGH TO QUALIFY FOR THE MAIN EVENT. AND THEN ONCE YOU'RE THERE YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.

(PAT)>> THE FIRST KEY TO WINNING, STUDY TRACK CONDITIONS AND BE READY TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS.

(SHANNON)>> THE TRACK'S ALWAYS CHANGING. SO YOUR CAR COULD BE REALLY GOOD WHEN YOU GO OUT TO HOT LAP OR QUALIFY, AND THEN IT'S GONNA CHANGE ON YOU AS THE TRACK GOES AWAY. SO YOU HAVE A LOT OF KNOWLEDGE ON HOW TO SET THE CHASSIS UP.

(MIKE)>> SINCE THESE VEHICLES MUST SURVIVE THREE NIGHTS OF BRUTAL FULL CONTACT COMPETITION TOUGH DECISIONS MUST BE MADE. IF A DRIVER IS RUNNING NEAR THE HEAD OF THE PACK ON THURSDAY SHOULD HE PUSH THE CAR PAST THE LIMIT TO TAKE THE CHECKERED FLAG AT ANY COSTS? WINNING IS WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT BUT A MAJOR BREAK DOWN COULD PUT A RACE TEAM ON THE SIDELINE FOR THE REMAINING TWO NIGHTS. (MIKE H.)>> I MEAN I'M NOT GONNA SAY I'M GONNA HOLD BACK AT ALL TONIGHT CAUSE I MEAN I'M HERE TO TRY TO WIN EVERY SINGLE RACE BUT WE FOCUS ON TONIGHT FIRST CAUSE YOU HAVE TO GET THROUGH TONIGHT TO MOVE ON TO TOMORROW NIGHT.

(PAT)>> WE'RE HERE BECAUSE WE LOVE GRASSROOTS RACINGS BUT THERE'S ANOTHER REASON AND IT'S NEAR AND DEAR TO US. SUMMIT RACING WANTED TO BUILD A CAR TO HELP CELEBRATE THEIR 50TH ANNIVERSARY.

(MIKE)>> IT HONORS THE RACING ENTHUSIASTS WHO MAKE UP THE FOUNDATION FOR THE AUTOMOTIVE AFTERMARKET. WHEN PAT AND I WERE ASKED IF WE WANTED TO JOIN IN ON THIS BUILD WE SAID HECK YES. IT ALL STARTED WITH A STELLAR IMPRESSIVE RACE CAR'S CHASSIS FROM DON JUMPER. BACK IN THE SHOP WE STARTED THE ASSEMBLY BY INSTALLING THE SHEET METAL FOR THE DRIVER'S COMPARTMENT. THEN THE PEDALS WENT IN ALONG WITH THE LINES. THE FRONT SUSPENSION WAS NEXT. THE TUBULAR AARMS, SPINDLE, CALIPER, AND ROTOR WENT ON AS AN ASSEMBLY.

(PAT)>> AFTER THAT WE INSTALLED THE QUICK CHANGE REAR END ALONG WITH ALL OF ITS TRICK SUSPENSION COMPONENTS. WE FINISHED OFF THE BODY AND TOOK THE CAR TO IMPRESSIVE RACE CARS FOR A FINAL NUT AND BOLT SESSION. FINALLY MIKE HARRISON, ONE OF THE PREMIER DRIVERS IN DIRT TRACK RACING, TOOK IT FOR A FEW TEST LAPS. [ engine revving ]

(PAT)>> ON SATURDAY NIGHT THIS UMP MODIFIED WILL GO TO AUCTION WITH PROCEEDS BENEFITING SHRINERS HOSPITAL FOR CHILDREN.

(JIM)>> OF COURSE OBVIOUSLY THE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL IS A GREAT CAUSE. SO WE'RE JUST EXCITED FOR THIS WHOLE THING TO COME TOGETHER THIS WEEKEND.

(PAT)>> COMING INTO TO TONIGHT'S RACE MIKE HARRISON WAS EASILY THE POINTS LEADER WITH MORE THAN 30 WINS AND OVER 2,300 OF A POSSIBLE 2,400 POINTS FOR THE SEASON, BUT TONIGHT WAS NOT HIS NIGHT. DURING THE FIRST QUALIFIER HIS CAR GOT PITCHED A LITTLE TOO FAR SIDEWAYS, AND HE CUT INTO THE INFIELD ON TURN FOUR. THE NIGHT DIDN'T GET ANY BETTER FROM THERE, AND THE SIX TIME NATIONAL CHAMPION MISSED OUT ON THE "A" MAIN. NO QUESTION THURSDAY NIGHT WAS DOMINATED BY SHANNON BABB. HE TOOK THE TOP SPOT IN BOTH LATE MODEL AND MODIFIED CLASSES. SHANNON ALWAYS RACES LATE MODEL BUT HE DOESN'T USUALLY RUN THE MODIFIED CLASS. HIS CAR WAS A LOANER FROM HIS BROTHER IN LAW.

(SHANNON)>> ANY NIGHT THAT'S REALLY GOOD. NOW THE NEXT COUPLE OF NIGHTS WE CAN KIND OF RELAX BUT YOU KNOW, WHEN IT'S YOUR NIGHT IT'S YOUR NIGHT. EVERYTHING JUST REALLY FELL TOGETHER FOR US REALLY NICE LAST NIGHT.

(NARRATOR)>> UP NEXT, IT'S AN EXCITING, TERRIFYING PLACE. WE TAKE YOU INSIDE THE MIND OF A RACE CAR DRIVER.

(MIKE)>> IT'S THE SECOND NIGHT OF RACING AT SUMMIT'S MODIFIED MANIA. THE TRICITY SPEEDWAY IN GRANITE CITY, ILLINOIS, IS ROCKING WITH STANDS FULL OF FANS ENJOYING PLENTY OF HIGH SPEED FULL CONTACT DIRT TRACK COMPETITION. WE'D LIKE TO GIVE YOU A BETTER IDEA OF WHAT IT'S LIKE TO TAKE PART IN THREE NIGHTS OF NO HOLDS BARRED RACING. NO ONE CAN CAPTURE THE INTENSITY OF THIS EXPERIENCE BETTER THAN THE DRIVERS THEMSELVES. (MIKE H.)>> WELL YOU EVER KNOWN ANYBODY THAT DOES DRUGS? GETS ADDICTED TO DRUGS AND THEY SHOULDN'T? THIS IS A SERIOUS DRUG. YOU GET ADDICTED AND IT'S A RUSH YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE. 600, 700, 800 HORSEPOWER JUST LIKE THAT.

(SHANNON)>> WHEN YOU'RE TAKING A 2,400 POUND CAR IN THE CORNER AS FAST AS YOU CAN IT AUTOMATICALLY GOES INTO A DRIFT ON ITS OWN. YOU'RE JUST TRYING TO CONTROL THE DRIFT, HOLD TRACTION, AND GET THE CAR GOING THE OTHER DIRECTION, AND GET OFF THE CORNER AS FAST AS YOU CAN. SO KIND OF BEING IN CONTROL BUT OUT OF CONTROL AT THE SAME TIME.

(DAVE)>> TO BE COMPETITIVE IN OUR SPORT YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE NO FEAR. YOU'VE GOT TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE IN THE CORNER AND NOT LIFT, AND THAT'S ONE OF THE HARDEST THINGS TO EVER DO IN THIS SPORT.

(GARY)>> THESE GUYS, THEY'RE THE BEST RACERS IN THE COUNTRY. YOU'VE GOT A LOT TO LEARN IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME IF YOU WANT TO GO OUT THERE AND BE COMPETITIVE.

(PAT)>> AND TONIGHT WAS TWICE AS ROUGH AND RAUCOUS AS THE FIRST. LAST NIGHT'S WINNER, SHANNON BABB, TOOK NINTH PLACE IN THE MODIFIED "A" MAIN. AND AGAIN, POINTS LEADER MIKE HARRISON WAS NOTABLY ABSENT AFTER ANOTHER DIFFICULT EVENING. A NEW WINNER EMERGED AS TRENT YOUNG TOOK ADVANTAGE OF A POTENT COMBINATION. A THIRD PLACE STARTING POSITION AND SOME VERY SKILLFUL DRIVING.

(TRENT)>> WE COME OUT WITH A GOOD NIGHT THROUGH THE QUALIFIERS AND GOT TO START TOWARD THE FRONT. THE CAR WAS JUST DIALED IN PERFECT FOR IT, AND I JUST SET SAIL FROM THERE AND TRIED TO NOT LOOK BACK AND TRIED NOT TO MAKE A MISTAKE.

(MIKE)>> ON NIGHT THREE THE "A" MAINS WERE PROCEEDED BY A SPECIAL EVENT TO SUPPORT A LIFE CHANGING ORGANIZATION, AND PAT AND I WERE SUPER PROUD TO BE A PART OF IT. THE UMP MODIFIED BUILT TO HONOR SUMMIT RACING'S 50TH ANNIVERSARY WAS AUCTIONED OFF. WITH ALL PROCEEDS BENEFITTING SHRINER'S HOSPITALS FOR CHILDREN. THE WINNING BIT OF $30,000 DOLLARS WAS PLACED BY RODNEY STANDERFER. YOU COULD SAY HE WAS EXCITED BY THE WIN BUT THAT WOULD BE AN UNDERSTATEMENT.

(RODNEY)>> I DIDN'T GET AN INVITE TO THE DOME BUT BY GOD I GOT A NEW RACE CAR!

(PAT)>> WHAT'S MORE, THESE DRIVERS, WHO SEEM SO HEARTLESS IN THE HEAT OF BATTLE TURNED OUT TO BE ALL HEART. THEY, ALONG WITH TRICITY SPEEDWAY, RAISED ANOTHER $3,000 DOLLARS FOR THE CAUSE.

(MIKE)>> WHEN THE DRIVERS TOOK THE FIELD FOR THE MODIFIED "A" MAIN MIKE HARRISON HAD ONE THING ON HIS MIND, REDEMPTION. AFTER TWO NIGHTS OF NOT MAKING THE BIG SHOW HE HAD HAD ENOUGH. STARTING FROM A MODEST NINTH PLACE POSITION HARRISON DID WHAT HE DOES BEST, RACE HARD. HE HAMMERED THE THROTTLE AND FORCED HIS WAY TO THE TOP OF THE PACK, CLAIMING THE CHECKERED FLAG AND THE UMP DIRTCAR RACING NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP. (MIKE H.)>> I'M JUST HAPPY THAT WE MADE THE SHOW TONIGHT AND WE CAME OUT ON TOP.

(NARRATOR)>> UP NEXT, A SUPERCHARGER SYSTEM THAT'S STREETABLE AND MAKES OVER 1,000 HORSEPOWER.

(MIKE)>> TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT SHOWED UP. IT'S THE LATEST ZOSIX CORVETTE THAT CHEVROLET SENT OFF THE PRODUCTION LINE WITH A SUPERCHARGED SIX POINT TWO LITER VEIGHT THAT PRODUCES 650 HORSEPOWER AT THE CRANK. THE REASON IT'S HERE IS EASY TO SEE ON THE WINDSHIELD DECAL. IT'S GETTING PROCHARGED.

(PAT)>> MIKE AND I ARE HERE WITH WALT SIPP AND ERIC RADZINS, WHO BOTH PLAYED BIG ROLES IN THE SUCCESS OF PROCHARGER. BRINGING NEW KITS TO MARKET ON A REGULAR BASIS IS THE KEY TO THEIR GROWTH. AND JUST LIKE OUR BUILDS IN THE PAST, THEY BROUGHT A KIT FOR THE ZOSIX THAT'S GONNA CATCH YOU BY SURPRISE.

(MIKE)>> PROCHARGER EQUIPPED VEHICLES HAVE PUT BIG NUMBERS UP ON OUR CHASSIS AND ENGINE DYNO OVER THE YEARS. MUSTANGS HAVE PICKED UP OVER 270 HORSEPOWER WITH THE NEWER PONEX HEAD UNIT.

(PAT)>> SUV'S AND TRUCKS ARE ALSO IN THE LINE UP, LIKE THIS SRT EIGHT JEEP CHEROKEE THAT LAYS OUT A THREE POINT NINE SECOND ZERO TO 60 ACCELERATION PULL.

(MIKE)>> HAVE A STREET OR STRIP VEHICLE? THIS 406 INCH SMALL BLOCK CHEVY WILL GET YOUR ATTENTION WITH AN FONEEIGHT PROCHARGER AND AIR TO AIR INTERCOOLER. IT MADE AN IMPRESSIVE 993 HORSEPOWER ON 93 OCTANE PUMP GAS.

(PAT)>> TO INSTALL THE PROCHARGER WE NEED TO REMOVE A FEW PIECES, LIKE THE HOOD.

A SERIOUS SPORTS CAR NEEDS SERIOUS STOPPERS, AND THE SIX PISTON CARBON CERAMIC DISC BRAKES WILL CERTAINLY DO THE JOB RIGHT.

MIKE'S DOING ALL THE HARD WORK. LET'S TALK ABOUT WHAT YOU HAD TO DO TO GET THINGS READY TO MAKE OUR 1,200 HORSEPOWER AT THE CRANK GOAL.

(ERIK)>> WELL 1,200 HORSEPOWER IS A HUGE POWER NUMBER. SO WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE COULD GET AIR IN AND OUT OF THE MOTOR, GET FUEL INTO THE MOTOR TO SUPPORT THAT, AND CONTROL IT. SO WE REACHED OUT TO SOME OF THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS. WE GOT BRIAN TOOLEY FOR ALL CAMSHAFT AND VALVETRAIN COMPONENTS. I'VE GOT CORD'S PERFORMANCE TO SUPPLY US SOME EXTRA FUEL FROM THE FUEL TANK. DIETCHWERKS GOT THE INJECTORS, AND WE'RE GONNA CONTROL ALL OF THAT WITH A HOLLEY ECU. BUT SO WE DIDN'T SPEND ALL DAY PLUGGING THIS THING IN, I REACHED OUT TO CRAWFORD RACING AND THEY MADE US A PLUG AND PLAY HARNESS.

(PAT)>> THAT'S PRETTY SWEET. WELL I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT. WALT AND ERIK HAVE ALREADY INSTALLED THE UPGRADED CAM SHAFT, FUEL PUMP, AND IGNITION COMPONENTS. ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS REMOVE THE FACTORY SUPERCHARGER. SINCE MIKE AND ERIK HAVE THE OLD SYSTEM OFF WE'RE GOING BACK ON WITH SOMETHING A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT. TELL ME ABOUT IT.

(WALT)>> WELL THIS IS THE FACTORY SUPERCHARGER HERE. FOR GM IT WORKED REALLY WELL FOR THE INTENDED HORSEPOWER RANGE. IT'S A LITTLE BIT SMALL, INEFFICIENT, AND THE INTERCOOLER IS A LITTLE BIT INEFFICIENT FOR OUR NEEDS FOR THIS HIGH HORSEPOWER APPLICATION WE'RE GONNA DO. SO WHAT WE DID IS IN HOUSE WE DESIGNED AND BUILT OUR OWN BILLET INTAKE MANIFOLDS. WE'VE GOT A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT VERSIONS HERE. WE MAKE ONE FOR THE LT ONE AND THE LT FOUR CAR, WHICH WE'RE WORKING ON TODAY. WE HAVE A SATIN FINISH AND WE HAVE A BLACK FINISH. WE'VE GOT A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT TOP PLATE OPTIONS YOU CAN SELECT FROM. WE ALSO HAVE OUR OWN FUEL RAIL APPLICATION FOR PORT INJECTION. YOU CAN ALSO DO THE PLAIN STYLE HERE. SO IF YOU WANTED TO DO A METHANOL OR YOUR HORSEPOWER APPLICATION WASN'T QUITE AS HIGH AND YOU DIDN'T NEED ANYTHING YOU COULD GO WITH THE PLAIN STYLE AND DO THIS JOB.

(PAT)>> WALT AN IMPORTANT PART OF MAKING THIS TYPE OF POWER IS COOLING THE INCOMING AIR. TELL ME ABOUT YOUR INTERCOOLERS.

(WALT)>> WELL WE'VE GOT THREE DIFFERENT INTERCOOLERS WE CAN USE ON THIS APPLICATION. WE HAVE OUR 1,000 HORSEPOWER CAPABLE AIR TO AIR. WE HAVE OUR 1,250 HORSEPOWER CAPABLE AIR TO WATER, WHICH IS WHAT WE USE IN THIS CAR. ON THIS PARTICULAR APPLICATION WE REUSED THE FACTORY HEAT EXCHANGER BUT WE ALSO HAVE ONE FOR THE LT ONE WHERE IT BECOMES A NEW HEAT EXCHANGER, OUR INTERCOOLER SYSTEM AND THE WHOLE PIECE. AND THEN FINALLY OUR 1,500 HORSEPOWER CAPABLE RACE INTERCOOLER, WHICH ACTUALLY UTILIZES AN ICE CHEST IN THE TRUNK OF THE CAR.

(PAT)>> WOW, WELL LET'S GET THIS ONE PUT ON AND GET MOVING ON IT.

(WALT)>> ALL RIGHT.

(PAT)>> THE MAJORITY OF PROCHARGER SYSTEMS, SUCH AS THEIR HO SYSTEMS, STAGE TWO SYSTEMS, AND TUNER KITS, USE AN AIR TO AIR INTERCOOLER. THE AIR TO AIR OUTPERFORMS AIR TO WATER UNLESS THERE IS A PROVISION MADE TO COOL THE HEATED WATER. SINCE WE'VE GOT A HEAT EXCHANGER COOLING THE HTWOO AND WE'RE LOOKING FOR MAXIMUM HORSEPOWER, WE'RE RUNNING AIR TO WATER.

(NARRATOR)>> UP NEXT WE INSTALL THE HEART OF THE SYSTEM, AND GET TO THE HEART OF THE MATTER.

(PAT)>> WE'RE BACK ON ENGINE POWER LOOKING FOR MAXIMUM HORSEPOWER FROM A PROCHARGER EQUIPPED ZOSIX. AFTER SOME PRELIMINARY WORK WE'RE READY TO INSTALL THE MOST EXCITING PIECE OF THE SYSTEM. WELL NOW THAT WE HAVE THE INTERCOOLER STUFFED IN THERE WHAT'S NEXT?

(ERIK)>> WELL NOW THE FUN PART CAN BEGIN. WE'RE GONNA TAKE THIS BILLET BRACKET. WE'RE GONNA BOLT THIS THING UP TO THE ENGINE SO THAT WAY WE CAN HOLD THIS FONEA 94 HEAD UNIT. AND SINCE WE'RE GOING FOR BIG POWER PAT WE OPTED FOR THE 10 RIB DRIVE SYSTEM SO WE CAN PUT THIS BIG BELT ON HERE AND NEVER WORRY ABOUT ANY KIND OF BELT SLIP.

(PAT)>> EXCELLENT, IT'S GOING ON. THE BRACKET WILL HOLD A NINE INCH BLOWER WITH A SELF CONTAINED OILING SYSTEM. NO NEED TO PLUMB. IT'S DESIGNED TO BE DURABLE AND READY FOR OVER 1,000 HORSEPOWER. EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE LOOKING TO MAKE. THE BEEFY 10 RIB BELT PROVIDES EXTRA RELIABILITY. ALL RIGHT, WE'RE ON THE HOME STRETCH. TELL ME ABOUT THE CENTER PIECE OF THIS SYSTEM.

(ERIK)>> WELL NOW IT'S TIME FOR THE HEAD UNIT INSTALLATION. SO WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IT BEFORE. THIS IS THE FONEA 94 HEAD UNIT. WE'RE JUST GONNA SHOW THE DIFFERENT FINISHES HERE BETWEEN THE POLISH FINISH OR THE SATIN BLACK, BUT THE COOLEST THING ABOUT OUR SUPERCHARGERS, WE MAKE THEM IN THE USA. SO RIGHT HERE ON THE TABLE WE HAVE OUR RAW BILLET STARTING FROM A PIECE OF FORGING. IT GETS MACHINED DOWN AND EVENTUALLY INTO THIS HIGH EFFICIENCY IMPELLER TO HELP US MAKE ALL THAT HORSEPOWER. THE OTHER THING YOU'RE GONNA NOTICE IS WE HAVE A DRAIN LINE RIGHT HERE. THESE UNITS ARE SELF CONTAINED. SO THEY DON'T USE ANY ENGINE OIL, BUT WE DO MAKE IT EASY FOR YOU TO CHANGE THE OIL DOWN THE ROAD.

(PAT)>> THIS CLAMP IS LONG. TO GET CLEAN AIR INTO THE SYSTEM PROCHARGER PROVIDES A CLEANABLE CONICAL AIR FILTER. NEXT THE INTAKE AND INTERCOOLER ARE CONNECTED WITH A HIGH QUALITY SILICONE HOSE.

THE FUEL LINES ARE PLUMBED, FOLLOWED BY THE REGULATOR, WHICH IS MOUNTED IN THE UPPER WHEEL WELL AREA. THEN A SUPPLEMENTAL FUEL PUMP GETS CONNECTED.

[ engine revving ]

(PAT)>> AND NOW WE ARE READY TO GET THIS CHEVY ON OUR DYNOJET CHASSIS DYNO. WE'LL MAKE A FEW TEST HITS TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS IN ORDER. [ engine revving ]

(PAT)>> AFTER A FEW TEST RUNS WE FOUND WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR. OH LOOK AT THAT, RIGHT THERE! 1,088!

(ERIC)>> I KNEW IT SOUNDED GOOD!

(PAT)>> THAT IS 1,088, AND IT ACTUALLY MADE 856 POUND FEET OF TORQUE.

(MIKE)>> WELL MAN I'M OVERLY IMPRESSED.

(PAT)>> I AM EXTREMELY IMPRESSED WITH THIS, AND IT'S HARD TO IMPRESS THE ENGINE GUYS. YOU GUYS KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK. NICE JOB, THANKS FOR BRINGING IT.

(ERIK)>> NOT A PROBLEM.

(WALT)>> THANKS FOR HAVING US.

(MIKE)>> YOU'VE GOT TO BE PROUD OF 1,250 CRANK HORSEPOWER ON THIS THING.

(ERIK)>> HECK YEAH!

(PAT)>> ONE MORE THING BEFORE WE GO. SOMETHING TO COMMEMORATE THIS CORVETTE JOINING THE 1,200 HORSEPOWER CLUB. FOR MORE INFORMATION ON ANYTHING THAT YOU'VE SEEN TODAY VISIT POWERNATION TV DOT COM.

POWERTRAIN PRODUCTS TAKES THE SAME APPROACH TO QUALITY CONTROL WITH THEIR TRANSMISSIONS AS THEY DO THEIR ENGINES. THEY ARE FULLY REMANUFACTURED AND ALSO UPGRADED IN SEVERAL AREAS TO FIX KNOWN ISSUES WITH ANY GIVEN PIECE. WITH NEW PARTS THROUGHOUT AND A FULLY REMANUFACTURED TORQUE CONVERTER, THEY ARE TESTED ON A PROPRIETARY TRANS DYNAMOMETER FOR FLAWLESS FUNCTION. THEY HAVE A WIDE VARIETY OF TRANSMISSION APPLICATIONS THEY COVER. SO TO FIND YOUR NEXT REPLACEMENT GO TO POWERTRAIN PRODUCTS DOT COM. TO MAKE TOUGH CLEANING JOBS GO FASTER AND EASIER DREMEL HAS COME UP WITH THEIR VERSA HIGH SPEED POWER CLEANER. IT'S COMPACT AND IS DESIGNED TO FIT IN ONE HAND COMFORTABLY. IT POWERS THROUGH TOUGH CLEANING SITUATIONS WITH A 1,900 RPM CLEANING HEAD THAT HAS A HOOK AND LOOP SYSTEM ON IT THAT YOU CAN ATTACH DIFFERENT TYPES OF SCRUBBER PADS. IT'S WATER RESISTANT, CAN BE USED IN OR OUTDOORS, AND COMES WITH A USB CHARGING ADAPTER FOR THE LITHIUM ION BATTERY THAT POWERS IT. TO CHECK IT OUT GO TO DREMEL DOT COM.

(WALT)>> NO ONE HAS A BETTER FEEL FOR WHAT A CUSTOMER'S GONNA NEED OR WANT THAN SOMEBODY WHO DOES IT EVERYDAY AND LIVES IT. WE REALLY HAVE OUR EAR TO THE GROUND WHEN IT COMES TO WHAT CONSUMERS ARE GONNA NEED, AND WHAT THEY'RE GONNA WANT, AND WHAT RACERS ARE REALLY GONNA FELL LIKE THEY WANT. WE HAVE PRETTY MUCH THE LARGEST CUSTOMER SERVICE, TECHNICAL SERVICE STAFF IN THE INDUSTRY. SO WHEN FOLKS CALL US ON THE PHONE WE'RE GONNA BE ABLE TO TALK TO THEM ABOUT ALL OF THEIR APPLICATION NEEDS IN REGARDS TO WHAT HEAD UNIT THEY NEED, WHAT KIT THEY NEED, AND SO ON AND SO FORTH. WE HAVE OVER 30 DIFFERENT SUPERCHARGER MODELS DEPENDING ON WHAT THE GUY'S APPLICATION IS. SO WE CAN DEFINITELY HELP THEM OUT WITH WHAT THEY NEED, BUT THE FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS WOULD BE WHAT ARE THEIR GOALS? WHAT ARE THEY TRYING TO GET TO? WHAT DO YOU DO WITH THE CAR? THAT SORT OF THING. SO IF SOMEBODY CALLS UP AND SAYS, HEY, I HAVE A 2018 MUSTANG AND I WANT TO SEE WHAT I CAN DO TO GET THE BEST OUT OF IT, WE'RE GONNA ASK THEM, IS IT A DAILY STREET CAR? ARE YOU TRYING TO RACE THE CAR? WHAT THE SITUATION MIGHT BE. NEXT IS GONNA BE, OKAY, DOES IT HAVE ANY MODIFICATIONS ALREADY? AND THEN WE CAN KIND OF HELP STEER THEM IN THE DIRECTION THEY NEED. SOME GUYS IN A COMPLETELY STOCK CAR, THEY CAN DO WHAT WE CALL OUR COMPLETE SYSTEM WHERE IT COMES WITH ALL THE TUNING AND FUEL SYSTEM COMPONENTS TO GET THEIR APPLICATION SET UP. IN SOME CASES EVEN CALIFORNIA EMISSION COMPLIANT. WHEN YOU'RE JUST NORMAL DRIVING AROUND STREET CAR, CRUISING DOWN THE FREEWAY OR GETTING STUCK IN TRAFFIC, OR WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE, THE BYPASS VALVE IS LETTING THE BOOST OUT OF THE ENGINE WHEN YOU DON'T NEED IT. SO YOU'RE GONNA GET EVERYDAY STREETABILITY, DRIVABILITY, FUEL MILEAGE, SO ON AND SO FORTH WHEN YOU WANT IT, BUT THE NICE PART IS THAT WHEN YOU WANT TO GET WILD AND CRAZY THEN YOU JUST JUMP THE THROTTLE, MAT THE THROTTLE, WHATEVER YOU DECIDE TO SO, AND ALL THAT BOOST IS GONNA BE GOING IN THE ENGINE. MOST OF OUR KITS THEY COME WITH WHAT WE CALL OUR PRO FLOW BYPASS VALVE, BUT WE HAVE A BULLET BYPASS VALVE, A RACE BYPASS VALVE, A PRO RACE VALVE. SO IT REALLY JUST DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU'RE DOING. WE HAVE DIFFERENT TUBING SIZES. THERE'S A HUGE ARRAY OF INTERCOOLERS THE GUYS CAN CHOOSE FROM. IF IT'S A CARBURETED APPLICATION A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT CARB PATHS THE GUYS CAN CHOOSE. OUR SUPERCHARGERS, WE MAKE UP TO AN FTHREEX 146, WHICH IS ONE OF OUR NEW MODELS. THAT SUPERCHARGER IS AROUND A 3,500 HORSEPOWER CAPABLE SUPERCHARGER. WE START SUPERCHARGERS AROUND 50 HORSEPOWER. SO WE CAN COVER A HUGE SPREAD. FROM 50 HORSEPOWER TO 3,500 HORSEPOWER, I DON'T THINK THERE'S REALLY ANYBODY ELSE THAT CAN DO THAT. EVEN RECENTLY WHEN WE DID THE CORVETTE WITH THE FONEA 94 SUPERCHARGER, THAT'S A SUPERCHARGER THAT A LOT OF GUYS WILL DRIVE ON THE STREET. 1,000 HORSEPOWER STREET CAR, BUT IT'S ALSO A RECORD SETTING ULTRA STREET BLOWER FOR ALL OUT RACE GUYS. SO A LOT OF OUR SUPERCHARGERS HAVE A LOT OF VERSATILITY TO IT. ONE OF THE BIG THINGS TOO IS MADE IN THE USA. WE MAKE EVERYTHING IN HOUSE. THERE'S VERY LITTLE THAT WE DON'T DO WHEN IT COMES TO OUR KITS. OBVIOUSLY THERE'S A FEW PURCHASE COMPONENTS AS WITH ANYTHING, BUT EVERYTHING IS DESIGNED, BUILT, MANUFACTURED, CNC'ED, WELDED, SO ON AND SO FORTH RIGHT IN HOUSE. A LOT OF THE GUYS WHO WILL LOOK AT FOR INSTANCE ONE OF OUR BILLET INTAKE MANIFOLDS, OR ONE OF INTERCOOLERS, OR WHATEVER THE CASE IS AND SAY MAN, THAT'S A REALLY NICE, EXPENSIVE ROBOT YOU HAVE. WELL THAT IS HAND BUILT BY SOMEONE, NOT A ROBOT.
