    I remember waking up when I was in early high-school in the early 2000s. Sneaking down stairs and getting myself a bowl of cereal to watch without waking anyone up so I could watch Powerblock without fighting with my 3 sisters for the TV. I met the blonde chick that used to host the Powerblock at the St Paul fairgrounds for Car Craft Nationals about 10 years ago. Man, those were the days. Today I have a tubbed out 67 Camaro with a blown 454, sitting on air bags. These guys were my idols growing up.

    How old are these episodes?
    Reminds me of the "HORSEPOWER TV" Episodes from the late 1990s.
    My father and I watch this show together as often as possible!
    And we then had fun with our company at Car Shows (GOODGUYS) and had fun with the Swap Meet, and MANY Garage sales...
    I really miss my father, as he passed away 5½ years ago, but I still try to attend our yearly GOODGUYS shows in his honor!

    Things change due to not-new info. If you want it streetable, add a water intercooler intake, because YOU WILL build heat, even at low boost. The intercooler intake will keep the heat moderated, so you can tune for that.

      for performance if the carbs are sitting in the normal position it can cause the front cylinders to run leaner then the back at least if it is the same in a v8 as it is with a inline 6 but still it is for performance ether way

      @@BigUnk85 It's not a 471 It's a 420 that's different
      that's like the 250/256 mega blower It's not a GM style so it's equivalent to probably like a 671 cuz 471s have single carbs and they are smaller than this for sure like a 142/144 blower
      and yeah you could spin it fast enough to make 700
      You have to just spend it to 7000 RPM and have a good hydraulic roller or a solid roller and some 200cc CNC heads and it'll do it

      @@BigUnk85 oh ok. Still a 420 cid and 6-71 is 411
      A 4-71 is hella small. That's like equivalent to a 142/144
      even a 177 would make more power. I've seen 177s make 650 on a 383. Richard Holdner did one and a 420 is bigger than that
      This blower wasn't even being spun hard. 500hp isn't anything for one of these even on 355 inches of small block
      Now put it on a 383 that makes over 500 on motor and spin it slightly faster on 93 and it'll get interesting.
      Supposedly these were more efficient than 6-71/8-71s. Haven't been made in years I believe

    This must be an old episode cause 540hp with a blower is a waist of money, You can get more than that from a LS engine without a blower..
