Horsepower TV- why gassers suck!!
 

They spent $480 on an intake, flat tappet cam, lifters and Q-jet for a small block Chubby and went from 290 H.P./326 Tq to 304 H.P./345 Tq.

Puh-leeze! My ugly beater first-gen went from 160/400 to 270/530 with just the turn of a screw!

Otherwise a pretty cool show and Courtney Hansen doesn't cause any harm, either.

aint that the truth

i just watched an episode earlier and they spent 900 bucks to get 19hp and 20ftlbs.i spent half that and picked you aleast 100hp at the rear wheels

That is a cool show, but I've noticed they seem to spend insane amounts of money and get very small improvements each time...and yes, Courtney is a main reason I watch all of powerblock instead of just trucks and extreme 4x4. Our Matco guy has one of her signed calendars from when he went to their tool show

Really??? Courtney bugs the crap out of me... Hit mute and she looks good but that's about it... Now the chick on Xtreme 4x4... Mmmm that's good, chick that can fab

Courtney Hansen is 1,000,000 percent better than the FIRST "hostess" they had on Powerblock.

Anyone still remember Michelle Spaziano?

SHE was the reason I stopped watching until I heard she was replaced.

I wondered if those shows where still on. I got rid of my dish a few years ago and now I only have 1 chanel and its not worth waching.

You ain't kidding...I almost forgot about her...thanks![laugh]

Yeah, those shows are pretty lame nowadays.

How many times can you watch them build Chevy 350's and Ford 302's.[duhhh]

Stacey David was the only one worth watching, IMO.

That's because they don't really spend any money. They get parts from their sponser, then show them off. Although there's often a lot of good info, it's also a commercial.

Moste experianced hot rodders could get double the power for half the money.

Got to meet Courtney last year in person @ the Sema show. For the amount clowns she has to put up, seemed nice enough. @ least she comes from drag racing, her family owns Braineard nhra track in minnesota. She is a way better host than danica patrick.

I agree 100%. He was the only one I actually enjoyed watching.

I don't believe they own BIR any more(its kinda in my back yard as I'm from Crosslake with is 20 miles northeast of BIR)

Good point, I forgot about the fact they make it very clear whos parts they are installin.

those shows are product/company driven, company pays money to have there crap installed or showcased or on a show called "HP" wouldnt a diesel be on there by now.
Stacey David was and is the man on knowledge of products & fab IMO.

Courtney is why we have blonde jokes, the more she talks the dumber she gets. I do agree she is fine to look at. I also agree about Stacey. He knows his stuff, they made a big mistake when they got rid of him. Is he on any other channel?
Jay

yup he's on Speed channel show is called Gearz & he runs the show not the sponsers :cool:
