    Declan has hooked with the right crowd. I love how he is getting a real quality education from people that care and know what they are talking about. Great team at Stay Tuned!

    Most LS lovers would say the 430HP is just the beginning.  On the other hand, you used the stock shortblock.  Unlike most channels, you didn't go wild on new parts.  From 230 to over 400 on $2800 sounds good to me .

    Love that you guys are mentoring a young guy like Declan. (Sorry if I misspelled it)

    That dyno tuning guy is so cool he knows all the little ways to look at how the power is coming and where you can get a bit more out of it

    People underestimate the power of the small block. A set of pistons and it would have blown the LS3 numbers out and still came well under the budget. Damm good showing!

    One thing for sure you’re religious about your Friday videos, Brother! Always can count on that

    415 hp out of a low output used engine is great. If it isnt quite enough a little shot of N²O would get Declen where he wants to be.

    The crazy abilities of the LS has given a lot of people amnesia to how amazing of a platform the SBC was and still is.

    When I was a kid I learned to work on old Mustangs from a great guy named Frank James.  I didn't have a great mentor at home and this guy helped me learn to be a better man.  Y'all are doing great work!

    Love hearing Tony teach his shop helper. He's patient, clear and answers questions calmly. Good teachers make good apprentices into good techs.
