Cool. I caught ep. I but missed II and III. Hopefully, I'll manage to be home for IV.
Wasn't too interested in the small block/auto-trans anyway...
SSBC Force 10, I assume?

I will keep my eyes peeled. I have not seen an episode yet. I know for sure I am going to miss Saturdays show, I am riding up to VA. with TNBUSA to pick up his new 540BB. I think I can miss an episode for that.

Yep, watched it both days!!! Just wish I had the money to do this type of upgrade.
Watching xtreme 4x4 right now, keep telling my 19 yr old son, he needs to bring someone like Jessie home so Dad can have some help in the garage.. She can weld, turn a wrench, fabricate and she's a CUTIE!!!
Just what dad needs to help with the 73 Vette, 66 S11 Land Rover, 68 Jeep Commando !!!
too many projects, not enough time!!!

Horsepower TV is entertaining - but that’s about all. I guess they have no choice but to condense the project down to 30 minutes (including commercials) for the time slot.
In reality, it took me like ALL weekend and into a Monday to install a Performance Plus on my own car (1978). I love tinkering with these cars (I make this kit!) but I will pay a mechanic next time. Installing the kit was very easy. It was taking off all the old parts that was a nightmare. ..
Anyways, I was hoping people would watch, just to check out how the products look (in the real world) and how to install them (in the Hollywood world)…
Where was the rear bumper cover install? I read that it would be on the show on the HP TV web site at this link; http://www.horsepowertv.com/ingear.aspx#moreproducts …

missing out!!!
Guys,
You are lucky having programs like that in the USA, but here in the Antipodes, we don't get such shows. Does anyone know if the company puts out the show on DVD? A video tape is not really good as we have PAL 3 TV in Australia (Like most of the civilised world!!) and your NTSC videos won't work here. I know they can be converted, but the quality goes out the window. That's why DVD is the only answer, especially if detail is needed.
I'm sure that there would be lots of sales, in the US as well as overseas, for Corvette related articles such as you have described, if they could be sold on a DVD.
Regards from Down Under

HP TV is giving us a DVD of the show. They won't let us sell them, but when I get it, I can burn some copies and mail them out for free (only $61,000 shipping and handling to down under) ...

I spoke to Mike Galley today and he was telling me about the track test they did of the entire car at Nashville super Speedway. He said it was amazing the difference the suspenison parts and the power the engine was making.
